Venus In Fur/La Vénus à la fourrure (2013)
★★★★☆
A personal film from Roman Polanski, Venus In Fur is an exhilarating satire with a career-defining performance from Emmanuelle Seigner.
Omar (2013)
★★☆☆☆
In spite of its intriguing political backdrop, Omar is a disappointing film which relies too heavily on tired old cliches
Beyond The Edge (2013)
★★★☆☆
Beautifully photographed and insightfully narrated, Beyond The Edge is a worthy chronicle of a New Zealand beekeeper’s quest to conquer the tallest mountain on earth.
Next Goal Wins (2013)
★★★★☆
An utterly charming, funny and exhilarating film about football, community and tolerance, Next Goal Wins is the perfect World Cup warm up.
American Interior (2014)
★★★☆☆
Gruff Rhys’ musical journey to retrace the footsteps of relative John Evans is a weird and mostly wonderful romantic odyssey.
A Thousand Times Good Night / Tusen Ganger God Natt (2013)
★★★☆☆
Compelling in its gut-wrenching portrayal of conflict, A Thousand Times Good Night is a solid film buoyed by an assured and powerful central performance
Under The Skin (2013)
★★★★★
Bold, cold and beautiful, Under The Skin is a unique and unsettling experience which defies convention from ambiguous opening to devastating denouement.
The Patrol (2013)
★★☆☆☆
Focusing on the minutiae of military life in conflict, The Patrol eschews the crash, bang and wallop of the genre, but in doing so lacks any impact at all.
The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)
★★★☆☆
Kinetic, hypnotic and hilarious, The Wolf Of Wall Street is an unrelenting rollercoaster of moral depravity – it’s a lot of fun, if you have the stomach for it.
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013)
★★★☆☆
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a charming, relatable and flawed film romanticising the virtues of escaping the tedium of reality with a hop, skip and a jump.
