We Need To Talk About Kevin(2011)
"“It certainly lives up to all of the excitement surrounding it, as one of the more defining features of the year…”"
Despite oddly starting with a crowd of people appearing to be swimming in what looks like gallons of chopped tomatoes, We Need to Talk about Kevin certainly lives up to all of the excitement surrounding it, as one of the more defining features of the year.
Based on the popular novel by Li...
Coriolanus(2012)
"“An intense and stimulating political drama; but I just felt it needed more enthusiasm and excitement…”"
As a host of films from all across the world come to London for the 55th annual film festival, it seems apt that there be a film adaptation of a play by William Shakespeare, the most important playwright of all time – hailing from just a mere few hours from the capital.

Set in Australia, we follow the story of University student Lucy (Emily Browning), whom, through her own questiona...
Real Steel(2011)
"“In a film that has all the makings of being a typically nonsensical Hollywood flop, Real Steel is actually an entertaining, electrifying and enthralling movie blockbuster…”"
Two words: Boxing. Robots. Still with me? Good. Real Steel is a fantasy drama set in the near future, about boxing humanoid robots, and whilst battling to the death (and by death I mean malfunctioning), a father and son are also having to fight for their own relationship.
In a film that h...
