Edie staring 83 year old Shiela Hancock as Edie who loses her husband and decides to climb a mountain in Scotland.

It's a very sentimental film there is no doubt, its about living life and not letting it slip by and dying not achieving your goals but sometimes on a weekend it's nice to just relax and watch something like this.

The Goldfinch was quite a special book full of atmosphere and suspense as well of coming of age. Its also a bloody big book so to make it work in a short film is quite difficult. That is the movies let down. The development of characters that is expansive in the book was lacking the space they needed in the film. Its still a decent enough flick but you just don't get drawn into the emotion of the people involved.

There is a great sub genre in American indy cinema with films like Welcome to the Dollhouse which is quirky, unique and the right side of weird. Now the UK can match them. This is incredible

When Studio Ghibli finished some of the young team formed a new studio and this is their first film. If I need to tell you more than that then let me just tell you this. It's brilliant.

Approach with caution, this is a very difficult film to watch and shows the Thai prisons for all their brutality and disgust. Gritty gets used a lot but this really is. However if you can get through that there is an amazing piece of art here with a string story and very well acted. A film that will not leave you.

I may have been distracted because Cara Delevingne is so beautiful. But this is basically a fun sci fi in the vein of Fifth Element. Lots of action, aliens and comedy. Just great entertainment

The Transfiguration will be marmite to viewers. In a way thi is the manifestation of the vampire mythology superimposed on American impoverished ghetto culture.

Smart indie flick that stays with you. A gem of independent cinema, many hate it, I thought it was genius

Look, you have seen the cast and so you know exactly what you are going to get. Is it their best? No, it’s not a classic. Did it make me laugh? Yes all the way through and after all that’s what this genre if for. A chance to dumb down, enjoying some dumb jokes and have some dumb fun. Although it’s not a classic it’s achieves its purpose.

This isn't a coming of age film. It's more of a coming of enlightenment film. Very strong performances and issues raised on ethnicity and mental health. Quite brilliant movie.

It's about the gangsters and dodgy police and it's from south Korea. Do you need to even guess that this is brilliant
