  • Aces (2014)
    Review preview for Aces

    Aces is a paean to worker solidarity but it is also honest enough about Spain's economic reality to acknowledge that holding each other up is not always enough to endure the precarious times in which we live.

    Abandoned by the father of her child, Neneta returns to her home town and takes a job on a construction site.
  • Cargo (2006)
    Review preview for Cargo

    Cargo gets scuppered by its serpentine story, which is more confusing than compelling.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2 out of 5
    Madness and murder on a dilapidated cargo ship.
  • Cell 211 (2009)
    Review preview for Cell 211

    This film doesn't just have one good idea, it has many, and it segues them together beautifully.

    When a prison guard is knocked unconscious at the start of a riot, he wakes to find he is trapped within the prison and must pretend to be a con to stay alive.
  • Even The Rain (2010)
    Review preview for Even The Rain

    The film's heart is certainly in the right place, but its narrative is more of a scattergun affair.

    Cop duo Crockett and Tubbs ditch their 80s pastel suits to crack - pardon the pun - down on a gang of ruthless drug dealers in style.

    Review preview for Mondays In The Sun

    It's like Boys From The Blackstuff, Spanish-style, a tragic story, told with love and black humour.

    Symon Parsons · 4 out of 5
    Men without jobs in Galicia share friendship, black humour and alcohol.

    Andrew Robertson · 3 out of 5
    Crime thriller set against the backdrop of Spain's economic collapse.
