  • My Best Friend (2006)

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3.5 out of 5

  • The Suicide Shop (2012)
    Review preview for The Suicide Shop

    This is a film of two halves, with the half involving sweetness and light muddled and limp in comparison to its tougher, more sinister flipside, while the ending is almost unforgivably trite.
