Reviews
Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter
Forever, I’ve Been Being Born
Jesse Sykes and Phil Wandscher quietly consider cycles of mortality on their first album in over a decade.
Colours of Time
Clumsy approach to dual timeline undercuts light, undemanding drama about love and art across 130 years
The Musicians
Pleasantly diverting comedy-drama with a musical soul that achieves moments of transcendence
Nouvelle Vague
Linklater’s homage to the French New Wave is a joyous affair, even though it surrenders to the myth of its subject
Adulthood
Alex Winter’s goofball crime comedy is more of a tedious trek than an excellent adventure.
Getdown Services
The hyped duo bring unbridled, unpredictable nonsense in the best way possible
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
Arlington
Shotput Theatre’s dystopian fable doesn’t reach as high as its titular tower
The Wytches
The Peterborough band add a little tenderness into their gritty, goth-garage mix
