A documentary focusing on the harassment of women using modern internet or technological means, NETIZENS is an arresting cry for solidarity. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.

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 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.
