    Every so often to sit down to watch a film and leave feeling as though you hadn’t experienced the movie the director had intended you to see. The Snowman is one such film – at least you certainly hope that to be the case, because if this is the film that the director had intended we see, then someone may need to have a quiet word with Tomas Alfredson.

    Michael Fassbender plays the leading role of Harry Hole, a self-destructive, alcoholic detective who is investigating the death of a…

    With Anthropoid, Ellis hasn’t compromised on his own artistry, as it’s a distinctly resourceful, accomplished and well-crafted production.

  • Morgan - Review

    Morgan is saved by the remarkable and unsurprisingly effective supporting performance by Toby Jones; though even he has to take second billing, as Paul Giamatti steals the show with an indelible cameo that makes for the most striking, compelling sequence within this feature.

  • Tale of Tales - Review

    All fiction is fantasy. No, really; every movie, regardless of genre, is an invitation to use our imaginations, and every movie takes that suspension of disbelief and runs with it in different ways. Just because a film might ostensibly fall under the label ‘fantasy’ doesn’t mean that the realm it creates is any less fictional, and just because a film happens to include ogres, sea-monsters and magic spells doesn’t mean it’s any less real. Matteo Garrone’s Tale of Tales – quite literally a world away from the drab brutality of his 2008 crime flick Gomorrah, and populated by a cast picked perfectly for their faces and individual merits – uses the veil of mythic kingdoms to seed some timeless ideals about parenthood, family, and growing old, and serves it up on a silver platter next to the giant, still-beating heart of a sea-monster.
