1917

14A

“1917’s camerawork engulfs the film. It’s supposed to. While not quite pretending to be a continuous long take, there is only one blatantly obvious cut.

Moulin Rouge

“A delightfully quirky, irresistably intoxicating arthouse musical. Baz Luhrmann draws from influences as diverse as Bollywood to grand opera, abd the result is a gaudy, opulent, invigorating spectacle that, while committing to celluloid some of the kitschiest moments in 'mainstream' film history, never loses sight of its muse.

The Assistant

“The Assistant is a darkly compelling, forensically detailed shocker from Australian writer-director Kitty Green about one young woman’s experience working for a monster. Jane, played by Julia Garner, who is pitch-perfect in her willed restraint, dreams of producing when she signs on for the alleged glamor job as an assistant to the head of a film production company.

Jumanji: The Next Level

STC

“The attitude of Jumanji: The Next Level, spearheaded by returning director Jake Kasdan and screenwriters Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, is that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Back to the Future

“There aren't many films we'd describe as perfect, but Robert Zemeckis's oh-so-80s time travel tale fits the bill.” - Time Out

“An almost perfectly wrought slice of old fashioned escapist fantasy, Back to the Future announced the celluloid arrival of the finest light-comedy actor of his generation in Michael J Fox... it remains an utterly beguiling little gem.
