Search: Starring Jodie Whittaker

Charm' is just one of the words, and others like 'winsome' are right there - it manages this without ever feeling forced, without ever feeling twee - and that makes it a triumph.

That it succeeds is due to Cornish's lightness of touch and terrifically naturalistic performances from all the young people involved.

Retains a tight grip on your imagination

The plot becomes tangled in its own loose ends

We feel rather as if we're watching Springtime For Hitler but with real gas chambers.

This is a joyous pearl of a film.

Too many jokes fall flat coming from the mouths of a very talented cast.

Ultimately more heart-warming and life-affirming than you would ever imagine a film centred on casual violence could be.

That it comes so close to being fair, to being true, is to its credit.

Disbelief is suspended by a thread so fine it is in danger of snapping almost constantly.

The plot meanders and doesn’t stand up well to scrutiny.

The plotting is bold and deliberately structured yet, given the small cast and high drama of the set up, this is an oddly cold affair.

O'Toole is simply remarkable. He reinvents himself once again, stealing the breath away with his learned quicksilver wit and charisma.
