Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It starts off so well -- all wry self-awareness and closely-observed wit. But it falls apart when it marries itself to another well-trodden genre: the royal soap opera.” – Independent (UK) Aug 15, 2023 Full Review What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) 71% 4/5 EDIT “A charming cross-cultural comedy that can be ranked alongside British classics like Bend It Like Beckham, and has the confidence of a Richard Curtis classic.” – Independent (UK) Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% 5/5 EDIT “Quietly, confidently and without fanfare, Polley has made the first piece of great post-MeToo cinema. What it depicts, and a homogenising hashtag doesn’t, is that there is no singular response to abuse.” – Independent (UK) Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022) 86% 3/5 EDIT “What we get is a film that’s watchable, when it could have been wonderful.” – Independent (UK) Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Disenchanted (2022) 38% EDIT “It’s devastating to say it, but maybe we’d all have been better off without an “after” to Giselle’s “happily ever after”.” – Irish Independent Nov 25, 2022 Full Review My Policeman (2022) 44% 2/5 EDIT “[Harry Styles] doesn't have the technique to convey whatever ideas he may have had about his character... The travesty is that a powerful lead performance might have elevated Grandage's film to a superior category.” – Independent (UK) Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Amsterdam (2022) 31% 3/5 EDIT “The central performances are charming, and stretches of the film are enjoyable. Everything looks stylish and wonderful, and everyone has nice hair... The thing is, there is a great film in here fighting to get out, but it’s drowned out by manic plotting.” – Independent (UK) Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Diana: The Musical (2021) 12% 1/5 EDIT “It does one of the ickiest things you can do when dealing with the story of a woman who died prematurely, by treating her life as though it was some kind of tragic preordained prophecy.” – London Evening Standard Oct 2, 2021 Full Review Reclaiming Amy (2021) 92% 3/5 EDIT “It doesn't feel like we learn much that's new, but it's a decidedly respectful tribute that portrays her not as an icon but as a devoted and much-loved daughter and friend.” – London Evening Standard Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Kate Garraway: Finding Derek (2021) 4/5 EDIT “It forces us to confront how uncertain the future is for sufferers of long-Covid, a debilitating condition which remains a mystery to doctors. But it's also a moving portrait of how we cling to love and hope when that's really all we've got.” – London Evening Standard Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death (2021) 100% EDIT “Perhaps what stings the most is the portrait it paints of a vulnerable woman who felt things deeply but was also a vivacious life lover who could light up a room.” – London Evening Standard Mar 13, 2021 Full Review
