The Wipers Times (2013) 88% EDIT “It's an extraordinary true story. Funny, sad, and peculiarly British. And told with an affectionate twinkle. Lovely.” – Guardian Oct 11, 2020 Full Review The New Wife (2018) 1/5 EDIT “Call me a cynic, but it is almost as if conflict is the desired outcome and that it could be less for the sake of the children, more for the sake of television entertainment.” – Guardian Oct 4, 2020 Full Review Mother's Day (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “What Mother's Day does is provide a way into that story - a touching, human, desperately sad, but ultimately inspiring way in.” – Guardian Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Killed By My Debt (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A meticulous factual drama, with input from Jerome's family and a beautiful, utterly believable, portrayal of Jerome by newcomer Chance Perdomo - it becomes something else: a heart-rending personal family tragedy about a young life wasted.” – Guardian Jul 18, 2018 Full Review King Lear (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Now 80 himself, the right age, Hopkins is at home in Lear's skin. Shouty, angry, cruel one moment; vulnerable, tender, loving the next - or at the same time. A mesmerising performance.” – Guardian May 29, 2018 Full Review Being Blacker (2018) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It's a big, beautiful sprawl of a film, that spans continents as well as generations.” – Guardian Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Can You Rebuild My Brain? (2018) EDIT “Not a neuroscientist herself, then, nor a science journalist, but an expert in another way, in that Lotje Sodderland has experienced coming round in a strange world she didn't recognise.” – Guardian Feb 20, 2018 Full Review George Michael: Freedom (2017) 69% EDIT “So preposterous perhaps, but also honest and brilliant - the film, and the man.” – Guardian Oct 17, 2017 Full Review The Child in Time (2017) 79% EDIT “The TV drama is a simpler thing then, of course it is. But it's still a deeply affecting portrait of loss and what that does to love. It is painful, but not entirely without hope, given time.” – Guardian Sep 25, 2017 Full Review King Charles III (2017) 100% EDIT “The late, brilliant Tim Pigott-Smith is mesmerising as Charles. It's not an impression, thankfully, nor was the actor made up to look like him (that would have been tiresome), but an interpretation of character.” – Guardian May 11, 2017 Full Review An Adventure in Space and Time (2013) 96% EDIT “Mark Gatiss's drama, An Adventure in Space and Time, is a lovely way to kick off the (50th Anniversary) celebrations.” – Guardian Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Treasure Island (2012) 56% EDIT “They've changed it, not just unnecessarily but unquestionably for the worse, and that's a travesty.” – Guardian Aug 14, 2013 Full Review
