  • Blood Machines (2019)

    Narratively slight but stylistically lush.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5

  • The Comedian (2012)
    Review preview for The Comedian

    Anton Bitel · 3.5 out of 5
    Trials and tribulations of a wannabe comic.
  • Hyena (2014)
    Review preview for Hyena

    Bent copper. Check. A liking for the charlie. Check. Shady gangsters operating out of shady strip clubs. Check.

    Robert Munro · 1 out of 5
    The story of a corrupt cop caught up in the London crime scene.
  • Paris/Sexy (2010)
    Review preview for Paris/Sexy

    Both compelling and haunting.

  • Somers Town (2008)

    Meadows' film oozes quality. The scripting feels natural and, thanks to long takes, Meadows is able to get the best performances from his young leads.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4.5 out of 5
    A boy heads to London to seek his fortune and finds friendship.
