    Tommy's Honour
    Though it may tell of one family's story in the late nineteenth century, and the superb costume and period attention to detail are firmly rooted in its time and place, the case that Tommy's Honour makes for breaking tradition, being true to oneself and challenging authority establishes thematic ties that are timeless.

    Forsaken
    Directed by Jon Cassar, Forsaken is a humdrum Western which never demonstrates even the suggestion of a trick up its sleeve.

    City of Tiny Lights
    A far darker side of London is painted in bleakly realistic tones in City of Tiny Lights but, like its protagonist, Travis' film shoots from the hip, has a glint in its eye and packs a mean punch.

    My Wonderful Wanda
    Behind the closed doors of this lakeside paradise it is clear that there’s trouble afoot.

    The Mauritanian
    The Mauritanian is not the film it could, and really should, have been.

    Magnus
    Watching the goofy boy develop into a man, we share in his experiences and root for him each step of the way.

    Surge
    Whishaw is utterly compelling and committed to this performance, and we watch the slow-motion car crash unfurl with mouths often agape, but Surge needs more depth to really leave a lasting mark.

    Adult Life Skills
    It is a kooky, touching, continually droll comedy drama that treads simultaneously familiar and unusual ground in its exploration of grieving for a sibling, more specifically a twin.

    The Girl on the Train
    The Girl on the Train engages more than it rivets and brings goosebumps to skin more than chilling to the bone.

    Up for Love
    Up for Love lacks tact and substance but its leads make it a watchable, albeit bite-size, jaunt.

    King Cobra
    Beneath the veneer of fake tan, rippling muscles and feigned ecstasy lies a striking amount of heart, soul and sincerity of emotion.

    The Ardennes
    This is a punchy and promising debut from Pront.

    Whisky Galore!
    A dry and surprisingly dull film, it is a comedy which doesn't induce a single laugh and a drama that doesn't engage emotionally or pull on the heartstrings at all.

    Alice Through the Looking Glass
    Alice Through The Looking Glass is at its middling best when Wasikowska is at the reins.

    Colonia
    Set in early 1970s Chile, and prefaced with archival footage of the final days of Salvador Allende's presidency, The Colony paddles indecisively in the unspeakable ills of the Pinochet era without ever really taking the plunge.

    The Islands and the Whales
    Though Day may remain silent behind his camera, an omnipotent narrative voice lends The Islands and the Whales a folkloric, ethereal quality that alludes to the importance of legend and tradition for the Faroese people who for 1000 years, since the time of the Vikings, have "relied on the seas for its livelihood."

    Ultraviolence
    Made with defiant conviction, this is a fearless, unflinching, but above all compassionate piece of documentary filmmaking that cares deeply about the people whose plight it tells. Enough is enough, it is time for change.
