  • The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (1989)
    Review preview for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover

    A work of brilliance, painful as a punctured lung, fierce, uncompromised, operatic, sexual, startlingly beautiful and yet poisoned with evil.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Darkly comic horror about sex, murder and food.
  • Lucky Break (2001)
    Review preview for Lucky Break

    A good, solid British comedy.

    Trinity · 3.5 out of 5
    British cons plan an escape by staging a prison musical.
  • On A Clear Day (2005)
    Review preview for On A Clear Day

    Mullan brings a gruff, no-nonsense persona to his role, making Frank's emotional journey well worth taking.

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5
    A redundant shipworker from Glasgow dreams of swimming the English Channel.
  • Thunderbirds (2004)
    Review preview for Thunderbirds

    Though it has a simple story, somewhat blank acting and awkwardly choreographed fights, its every flaw corresponds perfectly with the make-up of the original series.

    Jennie Kermode · 2.5 out of 5
    Live action kids adventure, based on the long running UK puppet TV show.
  • Topsy-Turvy (1999)
    Review preview for Topsy-Turvy

    It is the people who matter, not the frocks.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 5 out of 5
    Loose biopic of Gilbert and Sullivan in the period leading up to the staging of The Mikado.
