Reclaiming Amy (2021) 92% EDIT “It was a point made more honestly in Tyler James's excellent memoir, My Amy.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jul 27, 2021 Full Review EDIT “A blood bank of anecdote, enough to leave you sated.” – The Times (UK) Jan 6, 2020 Full Review EDIT “It could be ponderous - the scenes where Adam and his girlfriend explored his new derelict home were an endless parade of ceilings and doorknobs, Homes Under the Hammer horror.” – The Times (UK) Dec 31, 2019 Full Review A Christmas Carol (2018) 52% EDIT “[Steven] Knight's inventions, while florid, did create a psychological truth behind Scrooge's conduct, a reason for his transformation beyond the magic of Christmas.” – The Times (UK) Dec 30, 2019 Full Review EDIT “Mark Gatiss's adaptation of MR James's tale Martin's Close looked perfect on paper... but it wasn't quite strong enough to hatch out in your brain at 3am.” – The Times (UK) Dec 30, 2019 Full Review EDIT “This was a confessional comedy masterclass.” – The Times (UK) Aug 26, 2019 Full Review EDIT “Seeing [Vic] Reeves and [Bob] Mortimer on TV in 2019 always feels like a reason to be cheerful, a reminder that occasionally a genuine comic misshape will find its way into the mainstream selection box.” – The Times (UK) Aug 26, 2019 Full Review High Flying Bird (2019) 91% EDIT “If, for the characters, it ends in the grey zone between victory and defeat, the film is a provocative triumph.” – Sunday Times (UK) Feb 18, 2019 Full Review David Bowie: Finding Fame (2019) 100% EDIT “Whately's documentary did excellent work in rolling up all these untidy loose ends, covering both Bowie's childhood and the astonishing 11 years it took for him to achieve unbreakable fame with Ziggy Stardust.” – Sunday Times (UK) Feb 11, 2019 Full Review Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) 61% EDIT “This is Gallery of Blood, then, a satire on art v commerce that wants to be as camp as it is horrific, yet only manages a thin watercolour wash of either.” – Sunday Times (UK) Feb 4, 2019 Full Review A Year of British Murder (2019) 100% EDIT “It was a remarkable survey of grief in all its forms, but one moment of cruelty stood out.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 28, 2019 Full Review Fyre (2019) 93% EDIT “Smith used interviews with Fyre employees and extensive behind-the-scenes footage...to create a breathtakingly stupid story.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 22, 2019 Full Review Brexit (2019) 80% EDIT “[It feels] too soon to start patting and smoothing this story into TV drama, too soon when so much -- campaign finance, the role of data targeting -- is still unresolved.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 14, 2019 Full Review The Midnight Gang (2018) EDIT “The sentiment was inevitably sickly, the comedy broad...but there was a zing of casual cruelty and gleeful grotesquerie that you just can't get from the latest Julia Donaldson animation.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 5, 2019 Full Review Torvill & Dean (2018) EDIT “For a hit of weepy sentiment, Torvill and Dean was the Christmas miracle.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 5, 2019 Full Review The Queen and I (2018) EDIT “Corbynite, royalist, Brexiteer, republican: everyone could find something at which they could take umbrage - perfect for watching with that tricky relative whose memes led to you blocking them on Facebook.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jan 5, 2019 Full Review Care (2016) 100% EDIT “It was Smith, though, who was the emotional core, never "acting natural," with all the eye-catching tics and inflections that suggests, but just being it, showing grief, love and frustration without one showy note.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Barbra Streisand, Becoming an Icon (2018) EDIT “Yet for all her dazzling successes - the record deals, the artistic control, the TV specials - this film kept her fight to be taken seriously front and centre.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Gun No. 6 (2017) 100% EDIT “The colour seeped out of the world in James Newton's powerful documentary Gun No 6.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Vic & Bob's Big Night Out (2017) EDIT “Best was the tangible sense of two men, old friends, making each other laugh, as they have done for most of their adult lives - oddly moving beneath the mindless frying-pan violence.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 3, 2018 Full Review Doing Money (2018) 80% EDIT “"We are everywhere," Ana said, reaching out through the screen. "People only have to look." Look harder, Doing Money said.” – Sunday Times (UK) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review The Interrogation of Tony Martin (2018) 80% EDIT “The language was fascinating, full of suggestive potholes no playwright could have written.” – Sunday Times (UK) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) 99% EDIT “As the black-and-white archive footage of the trenches and front lines floods into sickly greens and oranges, a 100-year gap suddenly springs shut.” – Sunday Times (UK) Nov 19, 2018 Full Review My Dinner With Hervé (2018) 83% EDIT “The resulting film - funny, lurid and desperately sad - is a remarkably three-dimensional portrait of a man dismissed as a pop-culture punchline.” – Sunday Times (UK) Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Jane (2017) 98% EDIT “Yet it didn't provide the big humbling rush of nature worship it promised, not least because Philip Glass's pushy score left no space for quiet contemplation.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 19, 2018 Full Review
