Part thriller, part character study, Cordelia is eerie and atmospheric, putting you in the fractured headspace of its desperate lead. An impressive dual achievement from co-writer/star Antonia Campbell-Hughes. Read full review

Perhaps this film doesn’t entirely work all the way through, but it is a shard of malevolence that jabs into your skin. Read full review
