Reviews
Die My Love
Jennifer Lawrence shines in a visceral and stylistically bold look at postpartum depression
Palestine 36
An earlier occupation provides a sweeping historicity but lacks the texture of more intimate works on Palestine
A Magnificent Life
Animated biopic of Marcel Pagnol may be standard fare beneath its surface, but what a gorgeous surface
Hedda
Rather like Hedda herself, this is a garish and attention-seeking, yet ultimately soulless creature
Anemone
Daniel Day-Lewis returns in a rough-hewn, gloomy psychodrama directed by first-timer son, Ronan
Marco, the Invented Truth
Brilliant performance anchors this true story but ananswered questions cast a pall over the whole.
The Portuguese House
Stately but thoroughly rewarding film about new beginnings and the healing power of reinvention
Through Rocks and Clouds
Beautiful but overly muted drama sees a familiar battle between tradition and modernity
The Good Manners
Austere Spanish literary adaptation has formal beauty but a certain dramatic lifelessness
Queens
Hugely impressive drama plays out an estranged family’s reconnection against real-world stakes
The Story of Skids – Scotland’s No.1 Punk Band
The tale of the Dunfermline trailblaisers is well told by their engaging frontman
The Long Walk Review
Dystopian horror fortified by brilliant performances and suffocating, ceaseless tension
