Edinburgh International Improv Festival

As the first Edinburgh International Improv Festival approaches, we take a look at the new addition to the festival city.

Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte

Another twisty psycho-thriller of female hysteria from Robert Aldrich

Waterworld

Infamous dystopian adventure isn’t quite the catastrophe of legend.

Return of the Hero

Playful and breezy French romp is fun while it lasts.

Colette

A disappointingly corseted take on a trailblazing woman.

Three Identical Strangers

Amazing family documentary that plays like the wildest thriller.

Texas, Adios

Franco Nero glowers to little effect in minor spaghetti western.

The Wild Pear Tree

Family ties and deep and knotted roots in lengthy pastoral drama.

The Serpent’s Egg

Bergman’s only Hollywood effort would have been best left unhatched

Zoe Lyons: Entry Level Human

No accusations of being an entry-level comedian for the excellent Zoe Lyons.

Shoplifters

You’ll be happy to have your heart stolen by this beautiful and odd family drama.

Orgies of Edo

Lavish Japanese exploitation is a seedy delight.

Gas Food Lodging

Subtle, gentle depiction of small-town life impresses rather than dazzles.

Widows

No need for mourning garb for this smart, gripping thriller

Peterloo

Clumsy and bloated retelling of a pivotal event is an honourable failure.
