  • An Education (2009)
    Review preview for An Education

    Although we are talking age old themes here – first love, dodgy geezers, questions of class – the material is spectacularly well handled.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4.5 out of 5
    A 16-year-old - and her family - are swept off their feet by a debonair older man.
  • Beyond The Fire (2009)
    Review preview for Beyond The Fire

    This film might have worked better if it hadn't taken on quite as much.

    Jennie Kermode · 2.5 out of 5

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5

  • Hotel Rwanda (2004)
    Review preview for Hotel Rwanda

    This is a solid film, but it is the truth that holds the power, not the direction.

    True story of a Hutu hotel manager in Rwanda who protects Tutsis during the genocide.
  • I Live Here Now (2025)
    Review preview for I Live Here Now

    While the film's ambition should be saluted it falls short in ways that frustrate.

    Andrew Robertson · 2 out of 5
    A woman finds herself trapped in a remote hotel where the violent echoes of her past come alive, blurring the lines between her darkest nightmares and the waking world.
  • The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)
    Era evoking and provoking with the Fifties S&M pin-up
  • Radium Girls (2018)
    Review preview for Radium Girls

    The trick to working with material like this is to make sure that one doesn't overdo it. If anything, Pilcher and Mohler strip back the real horror of the story.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    In the 1920s, a group of factory workers take legal action after some of their colleagues become seriously ill due to radium exposure.

    Ben Sillis · 4.5 out of 5
    A brother and sister must cope with their elderly father’s increasing care needs.
  • Silent Grace (2001)
    Review preview for Silent Grace

    The performances are excellent, but this is a movie that could have used more dramatic scenes to put across the struggle and prove a point.

    Darren Amner · 3.5 out of 5
    PoW movie from a women's perspective, tracking dirty protests in the 1980s.
