	Last Night in Soho (2021)	Ella Kemp	Last Night in Soho dooms its women to a bleak future that only regrets the past and hates the present. Posted Nov 15, 2021 Edit critic review
4/5	The Village (2004)	Tony Black	We feel the need ever more today, as societies polarise and global political and environmental crises loom, for community and hope, and The Village foresaw that. Posted Aug 13, 2021 Edit critic review
	The Light of the Moon (2017)	Christopher Machell	An intelligent and mature examination of the post-traumatic experience of sexual assault, depicting how even the good intentions of well-meaning people perpetuate a toxic culture of blaming and controlling victims. Posted Dec 11, 2018 Edit critic review
	Alien: Covenant (2017)	Christopher Machell	Alien: Covenant works best as a series instalment reflecting on itself, reforming old ideas, reshaping old concepts and tropes. But as a messy, sometimes rather silly film, its reach very much exceeds its grasp... Posted Dec 10, 2018 Edit critic review
	That Summer (2017)	Christopher Machell	With an eye on challenging or differently interpreting a modern American legend, That Summer could have been superlative. Instead, it just feels superfluous. Posted Dec 10, 2018 Edit critic review
	BlacKkKlansman (2018)	Ella Kemp	[Blackkklansman] feels both empowering and uncomfortably exposing that no-one is absolved from the discordant dissection of cultural identity at play. Posted Aug 24, 2018 Edit critic review
	Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (2018)	Ella Kemp	Sometimes a silver lining is visible in its intense and glittering light - but most of the time, just learning to dodge the clouds is good enough. Posted Aug 24, 2018 Edit critic review
