  • Cracks (2009)
    Review preview for Cracks

    Juno Temple, building on the early promise she showed in Atonement, is superb as Di, fragile and sympathetic even at her most unpleasant.

    Jennie Kermode · 5 out of 5
    A tale of misguided love and obssession in an isolated girls' school in the Thirties.
  • Eastern Promises (2007)
    Review preview for Eastern Promises

    With its underworld themes and ambiguous protagonist, Eastern Promises plays like a companion to A History of Violence.

    The Exile · 4 out of 5
    An idealistic young midwife inadvertently stumbles across a crime syndicate trafficking prostitutes.
  • I Capture The Castle (2003)
    Review preview for I Capture The Castle

    A refreshing take on the usual period drama cliches, with a dry wit and a refreshing realism leavening the lush romance.

    Andrea Mullaney · 4 out of 5
    Coming-of-age drama about the daughter of an author suffering writer's block.
  • Queen And Country (2014)
    Review preview for Queen And Country

    Anchoring the audience with a perennial fence-sitter allows more room for the inevitable impact of the characters' stories, without the weight of an absolute ideological argument.

    Luke Shaw · 4 out of 5
    An Englishman signs up to fight in the Korean War.
  • The Sea (2013)

  • Stonehearst Asylum (2014)
    Review preview for Stonehearst Asylum

    The pitting of Kingsley against Caine in this context is delightful.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    A medical school graduate gets more than he bargained for at a mental institution.
  • The Tiger's Tail (2006)
    Review preview for The Tiger's Tail

    Far from being a roaring, sinewy beast with a lot of bite that the title might suggest, John Boorman's latest has more in common with a lumbering white elephant.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2.5 out of 5
    A successful Irish businessman has his life thrown into disarray by a doppelganger.
  • V For Vendetta (2005)
    Review preview for V For Vendetta

    In making V a symbol of vengeance, valiance and victory, V For Vendetta does for a letter of the alphabet what Kill Bill did for the colour yellow.

    Anton Bitel · 4 out of 5
    In the near future, Britain is a fascist state into which a mysterious, masked terrorist dares to fight fear with flames
