Search: Starring Shirley Henderson

What the film achieves, better than any other rock music movie, is how unorganised and stupid so much of what went on behind the scenes was.

Without wanting to sound like the marketing director for Cliché City, the film is heartwarming, life enhancing and full of love.

The film has oodles of charm and avoids the obvious pitfalls of comic Mafia spoofs.

Firth is immaculately buttoned up and Grant delightfully flirtatious, although there is not enough of either.

Zellweger has impeccable comedic timing and the many small and big risks she takes with Bridget pay off.

That the whole thing works so well is a tribute to the po-faced matter-of-factness of the approach and the exuberant charm of the execution.

In his attempt to avoid Western cliches, Winterbottom is in danger of going too far the other way.

[Henderson] holds this difficult movie together in a powerhouse performance of quiet steel.

Is it familiarity that makes the heart grow fonder? Or magic?

The delivery of the script is highly polished from a large ensemble cast with CVs running off the page.

Guinevere is the only well-developed character and the whole thing has an air of prettiness and predictability.

Along with her eye for composition, Reichardt also deserves praise for the focus on the smaller period details.

Shows a maturity that embraces every aspect of what commitment and family means and why those sentimental things that blokes feel uncomfortable with have a purpose and a reason.

Bong keeps it all on the move with immense visual flair, innumerable chases and excellent effects.

Set Fire To The Stars never quite catches, but that's not to deny the chemistry between its leads or the artistry of its approach.

The performances by Steve Coogan (Stan) and John C Reilly (Ollie) are above and beyond the call of duty. They give the film heart.

On balance, the dexterity of Garrone’s vision papers over the cracks and finds the poetic dimensions of the magical material.

A unique piece of cinema, superbly performed and dangerously directed

Although a small film, it has fireworks in its heart.

There are too many characters doing not very much.

Reality takes a back seat in this oddball comedy.

Amazingly for a film so teeming with ideas, it unspools in clean, lucid scenes of near Spartan simplicity.
