Managing Editor Kevin Ibbotson-Wight with 10 of the films that caught his eye from the EIFF programme launch
Hundreds of Beavers
Unfeasibly funny pastiche of silent comedy, Looney Tunes madness, and singular eccentricity
New Releases
Hundreds of Beavers
Unfeasibly funny pastiche of silent comedy, Looney Tunes madness, and singular eccentricity
Rose
Sofie Gråbøl is incredibly empathetic in a road movie that treats mental illness with real humanity
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
A visually-stunning, action-packed prequel that expands the Mad Max universe to great effect
Sting
Generic B-movie creature feature has some decent thrills but a half-baked family reconciliation narrative
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Another impressive instalment of a continually entertaining and evolving franchise
DVDs
Eureka
A film that plays so apathetically with the concept of abstract art even Kandinsky would be left begging for cogency
Catherine Called Birdy
An energetic, anachronistic romp showing the coming of age of a young girl in Medieval England
