Raindance 2013 line-up announced

But did they make a mistake in putting Julian Assange on their jury?

Review: Ain't Them Bodies Saints

Rooney Mara is fantastic in this delicate, sun-soaked Western

Review: About Time

Ever since I was a boy, I always wondered about voice-overs...

Film review: Wadjda

Every now and then, a film comes along that changes the world. Sometimes, you don't even realise it's doing it.

World War H – or hate’s not all that

What do Shyamalan, World War Z and Man of Steel have in common? Hype - and hate.

Ill Manors review

[WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE PERSON ATTEMPTING TO RAP.]


Director: Ben Drew
Cast: Riz Ahmed, Ed Skrein, Natalie Press, Anouska Mond
Certificate: 15
Trailer

Kidulthood: The Musical or miserable stuff that screws with all the things we love about films and cinema today? Critics who can't stand the word blud will say to stay away - but ill Manors isn't bad just a little flawed in execution; much like this review, which shows I need to learn some elocution.


Ben Drew's debut is full of loud music and unlikeable people (the opposite of this year's overlooked Wild Bill) but despite the sloppy script, iLL Manors isn't crap. So rather than write an essay, I reviewed it in a rap:




Note: Eran Creevy's excellent Shifty was made in 2008 - not sure why I kept saying 2004...
