  • The Dry Land (2010)
    Review preview for The Dry Land

    Ryan O'Nan is good value. He is ably supported by Ferrera, as the long-suffering spouse. They're stuck with a script that can't quite find the right voice for its concerns.

    Fast and funny enough to let even its derivativeness take wing – and, as any seven-year-old can tell you, dragons are cool.

  • X/Y (2014)
    Review preview for X/Y

    The biggest problem with Ryan Piers Williams' latest is that, although it is nicely shot and well acted, the characters with the most going for them are given the least screentime.
