Astronaut
ASTRONAUT is a film that will make you reach for the stars and stick with you; always motivating and inspiring you. Joshua Ragan reviews at EIFF 2019.
Best Before Death
BEST BEFORE DEATH is an unconventional profile of an artist. Clara Strachan reviews from EIFF 2019.
Never Look Away
NEVER LOOK AWAY touches the sublime of the arts, which like a phoenix emerges from the ashes of war to show how sensitivity, affection, diversity can be the victims of the cruel and monstrous side of humanity. Marta Pistone reviews the EIFF 2019 selection.
Skin
SKIN is one of the most powerful films at the Edinburgh film Festival, not only because of its subject matter but because of its brilliant storytelling. Joshua Ragan reviews.
Them That Follow
THEM THAT FOLLOW fails to truly reach its highest point in terms of theme and craft, but is an excellent film nonetheless. Joshua Ragan reviews at EIFF 2019.
Robert The Bruce
ROBERT THE BRUCE find itself caught between two stools, and although well made, that undermines the intimate concept and commanding central performance. Jim Ross reviews at Edinburgh International Film Festival.
What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael

Balance, Not Symmetry
Chris Dobson reviews BALANCE, NOT SYMMETRY, the new film by Jamie Adams and Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil, at Edinburgh International Film Festival 2019.
Apollo 11
By virtue of having aged yet visually powerful footage, APOLLO 11 is certainly worth capturing on the big screen and will be orbiting your mind for a long time after. Elle Haywood reviews.
