  • The Anniversary Party (2001)
    Review preview for The Anniversary Party

    Enjoyable and witty, all the more impressive when you discover that it took only 19 days to shoot.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    A couple's anniversary proves to be a test of their fidelity as well as of friendship.
  • As You Like It (2006)
    Review preview for As You Like It

    Much Ado About Nothing was like being given a surprise invite to a lavish summer party in Tuscany; this feels more akin to being trapped in a 'back to nature' weekend theatre workshop where the actors are having a lot more fun than you.

    Jeff Robson · 3 out of 5
    A banished duke and a young nobleman, Orlando, seek refuge in the Forest of Arden. The duke's daughter, in love with Orlando, pursues him disguised as a boy and devises a test for his love.

    You see the money on the screen, which is good, but not the love

    Review preview for The Conspirator

    The parallels with The Global War On Terror are obvious, but feel over-egged.

    The story of Mary Surratt, charged as a co-conspirator after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
  • Definitely, Maybe (2008)
    Review preview for Definitely, Maybe

    Not as sophisticated a film as it likes to think, but it does the basics very well indeed.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    A doting father discusses his relationship history with the child whose mother he's about to divorce.

    So overloaded with oddball characters that it never finds an even keel.

    Hammy version of the Shakespearian tragedy.
  • The Ice Storm (1997)
    Review preview for The Ice Storm

  • In And Out (1997)
    Review preview for In And Out

    Queer jokes aimed at Mr and Mrs Normal end up in a puddle with yesterday's tulips. Avoiding the pain loses a lot in translation.

    Screwball comedy about a small town drama teacher who is 'outed' by a former student.
  • A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999)

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    Shakespearean story of star-crossed lovers gets Tuscan treatment.
  • The Pink Panther (2006)
    Review preview for The Pink Panther

    Although some elements don't work too well, namely the lacklustre, almost prosaic direction of Levy, it survives with a lot of positives, not least the return to maniacal form of its star, The Grey Haired One.

    Scott Davis · 3 out of 5
    Steve Martin attempts to emulate Peter Sellers as incompetent French policeman.
  • A Prairie Home Companion (2006)
    Review preview for A Prairie Home Companion

    Scott Macdonald · 5 out of 5
    Garrison Keillor's live radio variety show bows out with a final performance.
  • Ricki And The Flash (2015)
    Review preview for Ricki And The Flash

    There’s lot of music along the way, thrown in to the mix in a none too subtle manner, although Streep manages to carry off most of it with verve and true grit.

    A rock star tries to make things right with the family she sacrificed for the sake of her career.
