    No Time to Die
    There’s plenty to gawk at, and to argue over, in this episode - yet No Time To Die is oddly lacking in pleasure or real wit.

    In the Earth
    By the time Wheatley, who also edited, concludes with a full-on eye-searing weird-out, it’s hard not to feel that he is retreading old ground – that this isn’t a more arboreally lavish A Field in England 2.0.

    A Radiant Girl
    This is a film with some grace and exuberance, but a cavalier attitude to period verisimilitude only adds to the impression that, when it comes to facing ugly historical reality, Kiberlain’s approach is naïvely inadequate.

    In Between Dying
    Personal and committed as the film clearly is, it won’t come across as a revelation for adepts of this pensive brand of slow-burning visual poetry - of which this seems a reticent and somewhat old-fashioned example.

    Happy New Year, Colin Burstead.
    Happy New Year… is vigorous and engaging as dark character comedy, but as drama it never quite builds or coheres convincingly.

    Slack Bay
    This knowingly excessive brew of cartoonish knockabout and macabre comedy horror just isn’t that funny.
