  • Review: A Most Wanted Man

    Corbijn faithfully handles this brooding and carefully constructed political allegory with praiseworthy poise, says Joseph Henderson.

  • Review: 20,000 Days on Earth

    The harmonious balance between the substance and style of the film makes it a truly expressive and accomplished work, says Joseph Henderson.

  • Review: The Riot Club

    The Riot Club is uncomfortable, vile and seductive with performances (particularly by Sam Claflin) that overflow with sanctimoniousness, says Lewis Taplin.

  • Nostalgic News: A Streetcar Named Desire arrived in Hollywood 63 years ago today

    A Streetcar Named Desire’s Hollywood adaption was first aired on this day in 1951.

  • Review: The Guest

    With a true old school spirit and a captivating central performance, The Guest is a welcome shot in the arm for the horror genre…. if indeed it even is a horror film.

  • Review: Before I Go To Sleep

    Before I Go To Sleep is an enticing domestic thriller with an inescapable nature that is irresistibly haunting, says Lewis Taplin.

  • Union Films: Autumn line-up released

    The line-up for the Autumn term includes notable big blockbusters including the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

  • Review: They Came Together

    Flying at a million miles per hour and with a huge, never-ending cast of famous faces, it’s very much a film tailor-made for devoted old-school comedy lovers, says Ben Robins.

  • Review: Lucy

    Lucy looks like a collation of scenes from a range of Besson films that had been cut, constructing an assemblage that is mainly nonsensical, but synchronously occasionally fun, says Lewis Taplin

  • Review: Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    It may not add up to all that much, it may feel like a less meaty version of the original, but the film is visually breathtaking, extremely violent and deliberately trashy fun, says Harrison Abbott.

  • Serena set for surprise UK release

    The film stars Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper and will be released in October this year.

  • Review: Into The Storm

    The film is all about the spectacle and it completely sacrifices in the process any chance of ever being even slightly affecting, says Ben Robins.

  • Film round-up: 25/08/14 – 31/08/14

    Forget the gloominess of the weather and the end-of-Summer feeling; pick a film and hide yourself away in cinemas this week.

  • Review: What If

    There is nothing to sink your teeth into; the film is forgettable and is likely to become lost in an oblivion of ‘just another one of those romantic comedies’, writes Lewis Taplin.
