  • Lipstick On Your Collar (1993)

  • The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse (2005)
    Review preview for The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse

    The character-based comedy mostly works as well as it does on the show, but the laboured and frequently infantile storylines make the film fall flat on its face when it's not half way up its own arse.

    Convoluted comedy from TV-based series that questions the meaning of reality.

  • The Moor (2023)
    Review preview for The Moor

    Cronin... perfectly captures the atmosphere of the little houses clustered around the moor, the distinctive quality of the light within them, the way that they feel like a small bastion of safety against the vastness of night.

    Review preview for North V South

    It’s no good having a twisting tale of gangland betrayal if every plot point is reiterated.

    A gangland Romeo and Juliet.
  • Restless Natives (1985)
    Review preview for Restless Natives

    The first half an hour of this rattles along with plenty of good humour, injected with further energy by the Big Country soundtrack, which is as dyed in the wool Scottish as a fine Highland kilt.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5

    There is more world building here than in any other part of the trilogy, and the additional material means it’s better balanced with character development.

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
