    Dylan Matthew · 4 out of 5
    A teenage misfit struggles to come to terms with his mum's death.
  • In The Heart Of The Sea (2015)
    Review preview for In The Heart Of The Sea

    Class and experience divisions form the bulk of the interpersonal drama and it’s as predictable as expected, with the added tedium of Hemsworth apparently defaulting back to weirdly out of place Asgardian diction, bellowing like Thor at every little thing

    Luke Shaw · 2.5 out of 5
    Recounting of the tale that went on to inspire Moby Dick.
  • Moon Dogs (2016)

  • One Last Chance (2004)

    The script is laced with expletives and the comedy weakened by a lack of dialogue support.

    David Stanners · 3 out of 5
    Black comedy, set in the Highlands of Scotland.
  • On A Clear Day (2005)
    Review preview for On A Clear Day

  • Outlaw King (2018)
    Review preview for Outlaw King

    When it comes to action, the film doesn't disappoint, and the final scenes of men running around in mud are up there with the best.

    Historical drama about Robert The Bruce.
  • To The Ends Of The Earth (2005)
    Review preview for To The Ends Of The Earth

    It would seem that The Ends Of The Earth has everything going for it. Unfortunately, it's interminably boring.

    Keith Dudhnath · 3 out of 5

  • Valhalla Rising (2009)
    Review preview for Valhalla Rising

    The difficulty with sustaining intensity for any period of time is that it so easily becomes ridiculous, but there is absolutely nothing in this brutal, at times violent film that will have you laughing.

    Anton Bitel · 4 out of 5
    Early medieval epic about a mute warrior who escapes his captors with the slave who tends him.
  • A Woman In Winter (2005)
    Review preview for A Woman In Winter

    A Woman In Winter is about obsession. Occasionally, when clarity breaks through, you can feel the power of possession and how illusion fades like the mist.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    Intense romance between a shy scientist and an ethereal French girl in Edinburgh.
  • Wale (2017)
