Leeds International Film Festival — A–Z of films

Breaking And Entering feels genuinely homegrown, with an intelligent script, beautifully handled by actors and director.

John Malkovich at his most endearingly camp.

Careful facts started seeping down my neck until I was almost in a state of shock.

First-time writer-director Robbie Fraser achieves a good balance between comedy and drama

Half Nelson is a believeable film, depressing at times but smart and moving.

It is a brave film that portrays Idi Amin not simply as a monster, but as a complex individual.

Verbally, physically and emotionally brutal. You'll come out melted like ice cream.

If you like the Pixies even a little bit, this is a rare opportunity to experience them at their best.

Finds humour in pushing the envelope of reality.

If your experience of Japanese anime has so far been confined to bubblegum tweenies and manga mechas, then Kon's altogether more adult animation will come as a real revelation.

The performances are strong and Larkin and Menzies in particular have an intensity that lifts this film above the pack.

Good writing and committed performances.

If you only see one short film this year - make it this one.
