She Said Movie Review
Change the gender and almost all of the victims in She Said could have been soldiers returning from war. They have been so traumatised by the harm done to them that just the mention of the name Weinstein brings a visceral reaction. Their PTSD is overtly visible.

Armageddon Time Movie Review
Writing that mirrors real life accurately is so difficult. The text here is so free of imposed conventions and false facades, it makes you realise how infrequently we are given words this eloquent and free of contrivances.

The Woman King Movie Review

Mrs Harris ekes out a living cleaning the houses of the well-to-do.

British Film Festival Fisherman’s Friends: One and All Movie Review
The album went gold selling over 150,000 copies and in these days of streaming that is an impressive number. With that surprise success, media attention and a film based on their story was inevitable. The first film did well and now part two gets a release. The first version was a feel-good story and the second continues with that momentum.

The story that has been built around the facts feels very contrived but that does little to dull the joy. Who doesn’t love ...
