  • The Vow

    The potentially toxic pairing of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum come together for a surprisingly warm love story. That despite Tatum’s best attempts to ruin it with his plank of a performance.


  • La Grande Illusion

    StudioCanal are re-releasing Jean Renoir’s finest hour back into cinemas, in honour of it’s 75th birthday. Do yourself a huge favour and go; this comic gem is as relevant as it’s ever been.


  • Afterschool

    Teenage angst breaches new yet surprisingly dull territory in this pretentious thriller set in an East Coast prep school. Afterschool provides a hundred solid minutes of tedious indie art as we explore awkward social situations and drug abuse, all through one too many lingering back-of-head shots.


  • The Slipper And The Rose

    Uncalled for reissue of lengthy, vanilla flavoured telling of Cinderella, most famous for being mocked as David Frost’s pet project in Frost/ Nixon. Nice outfits, all the same.


  • Sound It Out

    Slice-of-life documentaries are all well and good, but life can be horribly mundane and depressing sometimes. Sadly, Sound It Out‘s plea to save a record store and Britain’s ailing music industry will leave you wanting to chuck all your vinyl into a landfill.


  • The Well-Digger’s Daughter

    There is something exquisitely beautiful about the quiet desperation of a broken heart. The Well-Digger’s Daughter captures this sorrow perfectly; from the excitement of the first meeting to the moment a young girl gives everything away for love, this picturesque period drama promises to captivate any audience.


  • Go To Blazes

    Michael Truman’s Go to Blazes (1962) is celebrating its 50th anniversary! What could be a better way to celebrate than with an exclusive screening at the BFI Southbank? But, before you hit up the London Comedy Film Festival on January 29th, check out what we have to say about this glorious old-school flick…


  • Angel and Tony

    First-time writer Alix Delaporte and scintillating star Clotilde Hesme bring a delicate grace to this unconventional love story set in rural Normandy. Who knew a romance between a skinny ex-con and a balding, middle-aged fisherman could be so touching? Not the fisherman, certainly.


  • Bail Enforcers

    We didn’t expect much from a film starring a wrestler. But we did expect a film starring a lady wrestler to not be relentlessly sexist. WELL SUE US FOR SHOWING A LITTLE OPTIMISM.


  • The Burma Conspiracy

    Tomer Sisley returns as reluctant global business tycoon Largo Winch. Split over two timelines, set three years apart, The Burma Conspiracy breaks from the norm as it is nether a prequel or a sequel, but one of those inter-quels you’ve heard so little about.
