- it would be far too easy and incorrect to say this is a Russian Billy Elliot but I don’t have many more characters left to say much else. Oh well. Such is life. 2/5
- Pretty impressive if the the Second World War really was won by having a conversation with a few ordinary folks on the District Line. I can't get a word of sense out of anyone these days on my commute. Good old British romp this one. Get involved. 3/5
- Brilliant. Everything that is beautiful and ugly about blokes kicking around a leather ball. Jesus and the Devil in a hurricane of cocaine and corruption. Really is a funny old game. Makes me sad to be honest. Chin up. 4/5
Sometimes, film just works and this is one of those little gems well worth your attention. Put all your prejudice, pride and pomp to the side and allow yourself to indulge. Superb performances all round. 4/5
I can be serious, the ball was out, now go and sit down and play nicely. What a marvellous picture this is. Transports you firmly back to 1980 when hairbands and tight shorts ruled ok. Big thumbs up from me. And boy are my thumbs big. 4/5
- outstanding once again from Philip Seymour Hoffman. A troubled soul indeed on and off screen. Makes you yearn for an answer to which we have no question. Cold blood, indeed. 4/5
Extraordinary doco that sails close to the winds of Spinal Tap and perhaps nearly trumps it for comedy value. Loved it. Cat firmly put amongst the pigeons. 4/5
