Alcarràs

An amazing feat of film making for Carla Simon.

(Edit) 22/05/2023

The director, Carla Simon, has put in the groundwork for this film and it shows. She spent 6 months on her Uncle's peach farm and just as long with her non-professional cast. The result is a steady, beautiful, thought provoking film about the advances of capitalism on farming, in particular one family's realtionship to the land and each other. The performances from this non professional, unrelated cast are truly amazing. Carla Simon is certainly a talent to look out for.

Coherence

Cerebral Sci Fi

(Edit) 25/02/2015

A group of friends get together on the night a comet comes close to earth. It's gravitational pull results in a fight for survival against alternative versions of themselves. If you like to ponder on the nature of quantum mechanics then this film is for you. However, if you like special effects laden sci fi, look elsewhere.

The Guest

Throwback thriller

(Edit) 08/02/2015

What starts out as a brooding psychological thriller ends up as a homage to Dario Argento. A modern take on an 80s horror/thriller stable with soundtrack to match.

Stations of the Cross

A rewarding watch if you can stand the pace.

(Edit) 07/02/2015

With only 14 scenes, 10 of which are static, this film may prove too slow for many. However, If you can overcome the film's slow pace you will be rewarded with great natural performances and a cautionary tale of religious doctrine on an impressionable mind.

Happy Valley: Series 1

Superb Yorkshire drama

(Edit) 25/01/2015

Sarah Lancashire is an absolute powerhouse in one of the best BBC dramas in years. The supporting cast are also superb, if only let down slightly by Steve Pemberton. The series loses some of its momentum in the fifth episode but believe me when drama is this tightly wound you may need a breather at some point.

Apocalyptic

A well worn path through the woods

(Edit) 19/12/2014

This film provides nothing new to the hand held horror genre. The acting is passable in parts but it fails to provide even one scare.

Willow Creek

Big foot on a well trodden path

(Edit) 11/08/2014

You've seen this all before. Stupid adults searching for local folk lore, get lost, get killed. Nothing new or of interest.
