With In Fabric, director Peter Strickland has built a world which conveys all that is best and worst about shopping: carnal, animalistic, beautiful, frightening and blackly funny, with as many touchable moments as teachable ones. Imagine a cross between 1970s department store sitcom Are You Being Served? and the original Suspiria, and that just about… In Fabric Read More
Amaurosis trailer: no longer unseen
A shocking family event, a strange new friend who may or may not be all he seems, and an isolated Lake District location – all the elements are there in indie thriller Amaurosis. Previously released in the UK with the title The Unseen, this is an effective and eerie film about the effects of grief…. Amaurosis trailer: no longer unseen Read More
Long Shot 4 stars
This is a grown-up comedy, what with it being about politics, ethical journalism, the environment, personal integrity, Boyz II Men, boners, masturbation, and drugs. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is Secretary of State, working under President Chambers (Bob Odenkirk) whose route to power was a decade spent playing the president on TV. Which is very funny… Long Shot Read More
Greta 3 stars
WARNING: Spoilery if you haven’t seen the trailer I’ve categorised this as a comedy thriller, as aspects of it – Isabelle Huppert’s lusciously frenzied performance, a gleefully hideous injury (in close-up!), the shriekingly signalling music – position it like that, though the rest of the cast play it straight and there aren’t any jokes as… Greta Read More

“I wanted audiences to walk out of the theatre and really think about their lives and what is important to them.” David O’Leske Legendary American climber Fred Beckey spent most of his life on the road, moving from adventure to adventure, bagging first ascents and tricky routes.

Hobbs And Shaw second trailer: “tell me this is not happening…”
But it IS and I LOVE it. A mystery virus, flying cars, Helen Mirren as your jailbird mum. “This ‘ole thing saans really dodgy” she proclaims, though the new second trailer for Fast And The Furious spin-off Hobbs And Shaw actually looks very daft and very funny (imagine if Bill and Ted did John Wick). This… Hobbs And Shaw second trailer: “tell me this is not happening…” Read More
Dark Phoenix third and final trailer rises from the ashes
“When I lose control bad things happen. But it feels good.” We’ve all felt like that, but put aside those memories of your first night out during Freshers’ Week, this is a little more serious. The third and final Dark Phoenix trailer is here, and the film is also the last in the X-Men series…. Dark Phoenix third and final trailer rises from the ashes Read More
Stuck 3 stars
A musical set in a stranded New York subway car? Where three women and three men, from very different backgrounds, finally start talking? It’s not the breaking into song which seems unbelievable – I’ve seen that several times on the Tube in London (when I say seen, it’s been through half-closed eyelids, pretending to be… Stuck Read More

Her Smell 3.5 stars
For a film about music and musicians, the soundtrack to Her Smell is less the songs, and more the chanting, stomping fans out in front of the stage – in love with Becky Something, and furious with her at the same time. Becky (a riveting Elisabeth Moss), lead singer with punk rock band Something She, is… Her Smell Read More
