Keep Going (Continuer)
Using the wide landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, the character of a mother-son relationship is coloured in amidst some stunning visuals during KEEP GOING. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Everybody Knows
EVERYBODY KNOWS is an involving set of characters, with excellent performances from his actors. A film of subtle interactions from Asghar Farhadi, the plot itself isn’t quite as engrossing. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Hotel Mumbai
HOTEL MUMBAI is excellent at creating tension, but terrible at turning it into any meaningful empathy with or understanding of its wider roster of characters, despite the best efforts of Dev Patel. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
The Truk (L’Enkas)
Sarah Marx has undoubted skill, but THE TRUK – although an an accomplished first feature – required some fine tuning to be the best vehicle for it. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
The Films of Anouk De Clercq
Anouk DeClercq art films show us worlds where sound is forefront, and everything is in a constant state of movement and transformation.
Out of Blue
OUT OF BLUE ends up a little bit lost in the cosmos, and an audience left in a disappointing and gaping black hole. Francesca Woulfe reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Gloria Bell
GLORIA BELL focuses not on the spectacular or the extraordinary but on the simple beauty of the mundane. The film might not blow you away, but it will certainly make you smile. Chris Dobson reviews the Surprise Film at Glasgow Film Festival 2019.
Border
BORDER, directed by Ali Abbasi, is a peculiar watch which mixes genres and subverts audience expectations. Francesa Woulfe reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Alone at My Wedding
ALONE AT MY WEDDING is a highly sympathetic film, the audience can easily put themselves in the lead character’s shoes. Anna Whealing reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
