  • Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024)
    Review preview for Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin.

    Bonhoeffer struggles with his faith, but less in the manner of a great thinker and more in that of someone who writes quotes for inspirational posters.

    A sparse script and real sensitivity from the actors, none of whom overplay their role, only adds to the film's power.

    Martin Fitzgerald · 4 out of 5

  • In July (2000)
    Review preview for In July

    Not an essential film by any means, but possibly a welcome distraction from more self-consciously serious fare.

  • Woman In Gold (2015)

    Elegantly put together and watchable throughout, but falling short of the potential offered by this fascinating case, Woman In Gold has the shiny appeal of Klimt's work but none of the depth.
