The Sisters Brothers
Jacques Audiard might have tailored a slightly ill-fitting suit of great materials, but inside is an enjoyable yarn and captivating characters. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot
The story is interesting. The actors are talented. But Van Sant, and his screenplay, are unequal to the task.
You Were Never Really Here
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE is a tyrannically taut film that often feels like a 90-minute heart attack. The idea that any film – even one of Ramsay’s own – could make WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN seem relaxed is absurd, yet here it is.

IRRATIONAL MAN has a nice freshness to it, giving the die-hard Allen fans something different, writes Garry Pope.
Her
Laced with humanity and softly tragic humour, Spike Jonze’s HER is an emotionally packed film that will tease out pensive moments, writes Jim Ross
