  • Red Canyon

    Red Canyon is a sombre and engrossing reflection on mortality and the life events that make us who we are. Actually – no. It’s completely awful.


  • Tracker

    We review Tracker with Ray Winstone doing a ‘seth afrikaaan’ accent and it’s not too shabby. Both the accent and the film. Read on to see if you want to know how Winstone would track you down…


  • Psalm 21

    Psalm 21 seems to be a film that was born after someone discovered a new button on Adobe After Effects: the scary grey face button. After finding this fun new special effect, the filmmakers then crowbarred the plot around it; oh, it’s a film about the evils of religion? No problem, we can give people scary grey faces and it will be a metaphor or something.


  • Seconds Apart

    Scary twins drive their classmates to suicide in Antonio Negret’s above-average horror/mystery; a film whose few dashes of originality allow it to remain more interesting than its limited release suggests.


  • Storm Boy

    1976 was kinda a big deal. Steve Jobs formed the Apple computer company, The Ramones released their first album, Big Ben stopped working, and the world saw the release of Storm Boy. Wait, what do you mean you’ve never heard of it? You sir, are missing out (sort of).


  • Trackman

    Three men decide to make a quick getaway by using the tunnels underneath the city taking three hostages with them for collateral. They thought they were the bad guys. That is until the met Trackman…


  • Sea Wolf

    Mutiny, death and philosophy on the high seas in this two-part made-for-TV adaptation of Jack London’s 1906 novel The Sea Wolf. Helped by an impressive cast and a faithful transposition of the original text’s deeply psychological and political themes, Sea Wolf is a bloody and tense maritime drama that delivers a lot more than you’d expect from the average period adaptation.



  • Lovely, Still

    Christmas was months ago but with the arrival of Nik Fackler’s film Lovely, Still, the holiday feel is still present. Bring your Kleenex, the film’s like The Notebook but for the older person.


  • Barry Munday

    Barry Munday is a feel-good rom-com premised on genital mutilation. Potentially offensive on two entirely different levels then, it’s no surprise that this is probably one to miss.
