    This is not a serious film, rather a parody. Every attribute of style over content is here

  • Bad Times At The El Royale (2018)
    Review preview for Bad Times At The El Royale

    A thriller that, although it could have done with judicious editing at the beginning and end, nonetheless delivers laughs, shocks and, most importantly, that sense of satisfaction that only comes when puzzle pieces come together with a resounding click

  • Mad Men: Series 1 (2007)
    Review preview for Mad Men: Series 1

    In a day and age where the majority of television is frustratingly geared towards impatient audiences, a show like Mad Men is a refreshing experience

  • Marjorie Prime (2017)
    Review preview for Marjorie Prime

    The narrative depth also accrues gently, like sedimentary layers, as the film progresses, looking deceptively slight at first but gradually building into something more profound.

  • No Sudden Move (2021)
    Review preview for No Sudden Move

    What starts as an almost domestic story involving a couple of low-rent hoods will gradually morph into a game of high stakes with unlikely players and a plotline that takes its cue from events in the real world full of corporate rather than card sharks.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    Two small-time criminals find themselves mixed up in a complex heist after a babysitting job goes south.
  • The Report (2019)
    Review preview for The Report

    The problem with The Report is that despite this ongoing relevance, its powerful subject matter, the capable cast and an impressive script, it never builds up the impetus it ought to have.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    The story of Daniel Jones, lead investigator for the US Senate’s sweeping study into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, which was found to be brutal, immoral and ineffective. With the truth at stake, Jones battled tirelessly to make public what many in power sought to keep hidden.

    Ogre and Out.
  • The Town (2010)

  • Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)
    Review preview for Wild Mountain Thyme

    It's often the most slender plots that make for the best scripts because they force writers to work harder, but there's no indication of anything resembling work having gone into this.
