Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

By Simon T (674) on 26 May 2018

Review of 47 Meters Down (2017)

By Simon T (674) on 07 May 2018

Review of The Singing Detective (2003)

By Simon T (674) on 24 Apr 2018

Tiresome and uninvolving adaptation by Dennis Potter of his original 1986 TV series…

Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

Review of The Great Escape (1963)

By Simon T (674) on 05 Apr 2018

If you have three hours and a fridge full of cold beers, what better than to wallow again in John Sturges' rip-roaring WW2 adventure…

Review of NOW: In the Wings on a World Stage (2014)

By Simon T (674) on 27 Mar 2018

Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Simon T (674) on 15 Mar 2018

The good - production design, camerawork - is sadly outweighed by the bad - a treacly sentimentality and ludicrous plot…

Review of Split (2017)
