Beatles '64 (2024) 95% 3/5 EDIT “The prevailing mood of Beatles '64 is one of hope for the future.” – Radio Times Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Fight fans will enjoy the bone-crunching, wall-shattering mayhem, with veteran stars Koo and Sammo Hung giving as good as they get, but it's Philip Ng who makes the biggest mark as a cackling villain with supernatural abilities.” – Radio Times Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll (2014) 100% 4/5 EDIT “John Pirozzi returns to Cambodia for a more comprehensive look at its once vibrant music scene, which was extinguished with extreme prejudice in its prime. ” – Radio Times Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Sun Choke (2015) 88% 2/5 EDIT “The story descends into all-too-familiar psycho-stalker territory, arriving at a far-from-satisfactory conclusion for all concerned.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Operation Avalanche (2016) 69% 3/5 EDIT “As the irreverent larks shift into more paranoid-thriller territory, the fanciful story becomes more engrossing, with an excitingly staged car chase looking convincingly like the real deal.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Love & Peace (2015) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Equal parts fairy tale, lonely hearts romance, music-industry satire and kaiju spectacle, this is fun, far out and genuinely heartbreaking by turns. ” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review The Tiger: An Old Hunter's Tale (2015) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Though it's not without its moments of gory violence, Park Hoon-jung's film is beautifully shot, packed with adventure and evocatively captures a way of life all but lost.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A wholly satisfying portrait of a formidable talent.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review The Final Master (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Boasting award-winning action choreography, the film acts as a fine showcase for various weapons styles, ranging from butterfly blades to battle axes.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Fresh Dressed (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A fascinating recent history lesson, with rap superstars-turned-designers...” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review The Fundamentals of Caring (2016) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Emotional baggage carried by each of the characters does sometimes threaten to spoil the fun, but director Rob Burnett largely keeps platitudes and sermonising in check, delivering a fist-pumping pay-off that's so unexpected, it's sure to raise a smile.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review I Believe in Miracles (2015) 4/5 EDIT “Ultimately, it's not about what they achieved but how they did it, and director Jonny Owen tells the story with flair, humour and a groovy soundtrack, always mindful of Clough's credo to put on a good show for the paying public.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Holiday (2016) 85% 3/5 EDIT “An appreciation of Reubens's kitsch-loving schtick is an advantage but not essential as there are some big laughs to be had along Pee-wee's journey, not least a comedy masterclass in the art of balloon deflation.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Railroad Tigers (2016) 40% 3/5 EDIT “Jackie Chan stars as the Robin Hood-like leader of a merry band of rebel rail workers in this blockbusting period caper. ” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Three (2016) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The director keeps a tight rein on proceedings, with Zhao making the biggest impression as a dedicated but believably flawed medic.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review All Things Must Pass (2015) 94% 3/5 EDIT “For the most part, Hanks celebrates the glory days of Tower Records, while a surprisingly upbeat pay-off suggests its name shouldn't be consigned to the history books just yet.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Battle for Sevastopol (2015) 3/5 EDIT “While the film might not fully grasp the zeal for the kill with which Pavlichenko went about her deadly business, it succeeds as a portrait of an inspirational hero who not only fought for her country but also had to stand up to chauvinism and prejudice.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review The Reflektor Tapes (2015) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Although stylishly shot and ingeniously stitched together, the film meanders along without much purpose, ultimately coming across like an experimental remix of another, more cohesive piece of work. ” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Iceman (2014) 17% 2/5 EDIT “The jarring shifts between puerile fart gags and scenes of torture are seriously misjudged, and the ambitious action finale leans too heavily on CGI to generate any real excitement. ” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Call of Heroes (2016) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The backstory between friends-turned-adversaries Eddie Peng Yu Yan and Wu Jing offers more character shading, while a late gear change gives the potentially downbeat story a rousing finish.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Crazy About Tiffany's (2016) 27% 2/5 EDIT “Mostly this is film-making as advertorial: off-putting for some, absolutely fabulous for others.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016) 25% 3/5 EDIT “Even when the wire-fu stunts and CGI embellishments go through the roof in the finale, it's hard not to be caught up in the excitement.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review The Mermaid (2016) 95% 3/5 EDIT “This is a short, sweet and charmingly strange story populated by all manner of colourful characters, two-legged and otherwise.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo (2017) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Some of the film's animated sequences may look as rudimentary as the 1960s tech on display, but the limited budget doesn't prevent this from being a worthwhile addition to the ever-growing library of Apollo-centric features.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review One More Time With Feeling (2016) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There are moments of levity and tenderness to be had, but for all its visual beauty and poeticism, this remains an achingly sad eulogy.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review
