Is there a safer bet than an Aardman film? Shaun the Sheep Movie delivers on everything we've come to expect from the studio, giving us a delightful animated flick that's great fun for all audiences.

Paddington Review

Paddington is a marvellous (and politically brave) piece of cinema that never puts a paw wrong.

Get Santa Review

Get Santa is a tonally tin-eared Christmas experiment, but at least it's a unique one.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night Review [LFF 2014]

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night may not be a great film, but where else are you going to see a dystopic Persian indie vampire romance?

The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom Review [LFF 2014]

With an incomprehensible plot and boring fight scenes, there's not much to recommend when it comes to The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom.

The Man In The Orange Jacket [LFF 2014]

The Man In The Orange Jacket is a disturbing and sadistic Marxist nightmare. If that description sounds appealing, then you're in for a treat.

A Hard Day Review [LFF 2014]

If it had managed to maintain its early energy, A Hard Day would have been a stone cold comedy classic. Instead, it's merely diverting.

A Blast Review [LFF 2014]

Somewhere in A Blast lies an affecting portrayal of a woman seeing her dreams flushed down the toilet of life by economic collapse. It's just a shame that it's buried underneath all this nonlinear rubbish.
