Terrifying and beautiful, this might well be the best film of 2012.
84 minutes of rhyming couplets? It sounds well annoying but I actually loved it.
Nice film, shame about the voiceover.
There's a mole at the top of The Circus. Can you bash its face in?
A superb anti-rom-com that breaks some cliches and obeys others, which only makes it more moving.
A devastating, magnificent film that trades almost solely in sex – and yet looks right through it.
Like Olivier and Branagh before him, Fiennes makes Shakespeare as gripping as it ever was. Verily, Voldemort did good.
Inspired by Jon Snow's role in Coriolanus, here are some other Shakespeare adaptations starring newsreaders.
After Benjamin Button and The Social Network, this feels like Fincher back in Se7en territory. Grizzled, haunting and beautiful.
As the BFI's season of Woody Allen films continues, we look back at some of the director's best (and worst) films.
A feel-good treat, pure and simple. You’ll swoon, you’ll sigh, you’ll want to tap dance.

 Director: Martin Campbell Tom Craven (Gibson) is a widowed Boston homicide detective. Having raised his daughter Emma (Novakovic) on his own, he thinks the world of her. When she returns home, everything is hunky dory. Until she gets blown through his front door with a shotgun. Cue gritty revenge thriller.
Director: John Hillcoat "Soon all the trees in the world will have fallen... I think it's October, but I can’t be sure. I haven’t kept a calendar for years." The post-apocalyptic world is a grey place. Drowned in decaying ash, it sits in ruins, foraged by the few who survived. Among them are a father (Mortensen) and his boy (Smit-McPhee). They wander the wastelands, over the cracked ground, stepping between dead bodies and abandoned lives. It's a sombre scene, which stops you cold. This is The Road they have to walk.  Director: Andrea Arnold If it's one thing British cinema is good at, it's kitchen sink dramas. But as our auteurs age with time, who in this modern society can take up the mantle? Step forward, Andrea Arnold, Oscar-winning Brit with a taste for the grit - if you want the kitchen sink, you bet your life she'll throw one at the camera. |
