Review of Testament of Youth (2015)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 25 Apr 2016

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 21 Apr 2016

It's an odd, disjointed, incoherent film, and only Mr Cheadle's acting and snatches of Mr Davis's divine music make it worth watching…

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Apr 2016

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Apr 2016

Review of My Name Is Emily (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Apr 2016

Review of Court (2015)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 27 Mar 2016
