★★★★☆
Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore is Shoshannah Stern's documentary portrait of the Deaf actor, told largely in her own signed words and frank about the hard parts.
Yes. It is a candid, well-made portrait of a groundbreaking actor, essential for anyone interested in Deaf culture and representation, if conventional in shape.
★★★★☆
Marlina si Pembunuh dalam Empat Babak karya Mouly Surya memindahkan film western ke savana Sumba: kisah balas dendam seorang janda yang tenang dan tajam.
Ya, dengan catatan. Western Indonesia yang tenang, tajam, dan berani, cocok untuk penonton sabar yang siap menghadapi tema kekerasan seksual.
★★★½☆
Master is Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tamil action thriller pitting Vijay's drunken professor against Vijay Sethupathi's gangster, an electric star clash in a baggy film.
Yes, with reservations. The Vijay versus Vijay Sethupathi showdown is worth the ticket for mass-cinema fans, but the three-hour running time sags badly.
★★★★☆
Mat Kilau is Syamsul Yusof's Malaysian silat epic about Malay warriors resisting British rule in 1890s Pahang, a rousing, record-breaking action spectacle.
Yes, with reservations. It is thrilling, big-screen martial-arts action with national pride at its core, best for action fans who can accept its broad strokes.
★★★★½
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is Apple TV+'s darkly funny thriller in which Tatiana Maslany's divorced fact-checker turns sleuth. Twisty, tender and hard to stop.
Yes. It is one of 2026's most entertaining comedy-thrillers, perfect for fans of offbeat mysteries who like their laughs mixed with genuine stakes and adult humour.
★★★½☆
May Queen is a long 2012 Korean melodrama about a resilient young woman chasing a career tied to the sea. Absorbing and sincere, if heavy on familiar twists.
Yes, with reservations. It suits fans of classic Korean family melodrama who enjoy long arcs and big emotions, but viewers wanting a tight modern drama should look elsewhere.
★★★½☆
Megadoc is Mike Figgis's fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola making Megalopolis, a candid look at obsession, money and creative risk.
Yes, with reservations. It is fascinating viewing for anyone curious about how films get made or about Coppola himself, though casual viewers may find it too inside.
★★★★½
Memoir of a Snail is Adam Elliot's stop-motion tale of a lonely woman separated from her twin, a bleak, very funny and deeply humane animated film for adults.
Yes. It is a handmade stop-motion marvel, heartbreaking and funny in equal measure, ideal for adults who like their animation melancholy and strange.
★★★★½
Memories of Murder is Bong Joon Ho's 1980s serial-killer procedural, a darkly funny and haunting portrait of detectives, and a country, out of their depth.
Yes. It is one of the great crime films of the century, essential for fans of Parasite, police procedurals and anyone who likes dark humour with their dread.
★★★½☆
Merantau is Gareth Evans's Indonesian martial-arts drama about a young silat fighter's rite of passage in Jakarta, the rough first draft of The Raid's brilliance.
Yes, with reservations. Its silat fights are superb and Iko Uwais is a star in the making, but a slow, melodramatic story makes it one for action fans first.
★★★★½
Mere Humsafar is a 40-episode Pakistani family drama in which Hania Aamir and Farhan Saeed play a couple facing a cruel household. Tender, gripping and heartfelt.
Yes. It is one of the most affecting Pakistani romances of recent years, ideal for fans of family drama who want a kind, protective hero and a slow-burn love story.
★★★★☆
Mere Paas Tum Ho is the 2019 Pakistani drama about a betrayed husband that became a national event. Gripping, grandly acted, and troubling in its moral lens.
Yes, with reservations. It is compelling, era-defining melodrama with a towering Humayun Saeed performance, but its judgemental view of women will frustrate many viewers.
★★★½☆
Mersal is Atlee's Tamil action thriller in which Vijay's doctor and magician go after a corrupt private-healthcare system, a loud mass entertainer with a message.
Yes, with reservations. It is a crowd-pleasing Vijay spectacle with a real grievance about healthcare, best for mass-cinema fans who can forgive a sprawling plot.
★★★★½
Meteor Garden (2018) is China's lavish remake of the F4 campus romance, in which a working-class student takes on four rich heirs. Sweet, funny and addictive.
Yes. It is one of the most enjoyable versions of this classic romance, ideal for youth-drama fans ready for a long run and a flawed, possessive male lead.
★★★★½
Metropolis is Fritz Lang's 1927 silent epic of a future city split between rulers and workers, a visionary landmark whose images still shape science fiction.
Yes. It is one of the most influential films ever made and a staggering visual experience, essential for anyone interested in science fiction or film history.
★★★★☆
Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories is a gentle Japanese anthology set in a tiny all-night diner, where each dish opens a customer's story. Quiet, kind and consoling.
Yes, with reservations. It is a lovely, soothing comfort watch for fans of slow, humane storytelling, though its gentle formula can feel slight in long sittings.
★★★★☆
Minari is Lee Isaac Chung's tender, semi-autobiographical drama about a Korean American family farming in rural Arkansas, lifted by a scene-stealing grandmother.
Yes. It is a gentle, beautifully acted family drama that rewards patience; viewers who need plot momentum may find its quiet rhythm too low-key.
★★★★☆
Mindhunter is Netflix's chilling 1970s crime drama about FBI agents interviewing serial killers to invent profiling. Brilliant and cold, but left unfinished.
Yes, with reservations. It is gripping, meticulously crafted crime drama for patient viewers, but know going in that it stops after two seasons with threads unresolved.
★★★★½
Miracle in Cell No. 7 is Turkey's remake of the Korean tearjerker about a wrongly jailed father and his daughter, and it is shamelessly, effectively moving.
Yes. It is an unashamed weepie powered by two superb lead performances; ideal for viewers who want a big emotional release, less so for anyone allergic to melodrama.
★★★★☆
Mirzapur is Prime Video's violent Hindi crime saga about a war for control of an Uttar Pradesh town. Pankaj Tripathi dominates; later seasons lose some bite.
Yes, with reservations. Season one is a ferocious, addictive crime drama worth seeing; later seasons are baggier, and the violence and profanity are relentless.
★★★★☆
Misfits is the anarchic British series about young offenders on community service who gain superpowers in a storm. Filthy, funny and brilliant, then uneven.
Yes, with reservations. The first two series are essential, foul-mouthed genre television; later series, after major cast changes, are patchier but still have their moments.
★★★★☆
MobLand is Paramount+'s London gangster saga with Tom Hardy as the fixer for a crime family run by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Pulpy, mean and very watchable.
Yes, with reservations. It is a stylish, addictive crime drama for fans of gangster sagas and its starry cast, provided you can take its excess and melodrama in stride.
★★★★½
Modern Times is Charlie Chaplin's Depression-era comedy in which the Tramp battles factory machines, hunger and the law, and 90 years on it is still hilarious.
Yes. It is one of the great screen comedies, short, inventive and warm-hearted, and an ideal first silent-style film for newcomers and families alike.
★★★½☆
Molli and Max in the Future is a homemade sci-fi rom-com following two friends across years and galaxies, its charm outrunning a small budget and patchy jokes.
Yes, with reservations. It is a sweet, inventive indie romance for viewers who enjoy DIY sci-fi, though its jokes and episodes land unevenly.
