    The story of the East Kilbride factory workers who refused to carry out repairs on warplane engines in an act of solidarity against the violent military coup in Chile.
  • Hearts Beat Loud
    Review preview for Hearts Beat Loud

    Despite, or perhaps because of this general air of ephemerality, you want to hold on to the moment and particularly to that sweet spot of youth, so deftly portrayed by Clemons, when everything is blossoming with possibility.

    In Red Hook, Brooklyn, a father and daughter become an unlikely songwriting duo in the last summer before she leaves for college.
  • Summer 1993
    Review preview for Summer 1993

    The film wears its story lightly. Even when Simón is dealing with heavier themes her focus is on Frida and her emotions.

    A young girl struggles to adapt to her new life in the countryside after the death of her mum.
  • Anna And The Apocalypse
    Review preview for Anna And The Apocalypse

    Any film that has both a fight director and a dance choreographer is probably doing something right.

    Andrew Robertson · 4 out of 5

    Beautifully shot and articulated.

    Richard Mowe · 4 out of 5
    A passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatally mismatched and yet fatefully condemned to each other.

    This is so well observed that I feel fair expressing concerns about the choices of font in certain official publications.

  • Isle Of Dogs
    Review preview for Isle Of Dogs

    Go in as a fan of Anderson's work and you will not be disappointed. Go in as a fan of film and you will likely be delighted.

    Andrew Robertson · 4 out of 5
    In a future world where dogs have been exiled to the giant rubbish dumps of Trash Island, a Japanese boy sets out alone in search of his beloved pet.
  • C'est La Vie!
    Review preview for C'est La Vie!

    So much is going on that Nakache and Toledano are able to slyly set-up jokes in such a way that we barely notice them, so that when they pay off their impact is greater.

    Deadpan absurdity, everyday madness and enlightenment through routine merge in an attempt to answer the big questions of life.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 4 out of 5
    The spiritual journey of a 90-year-old atheist.
