Outland (1981) 59% 3/5 EDIT “A great-looking (and sounding) slow-boiler.” – Total Film Sep 25, 2025 Full Review A Matter of Life and Death (1946) 97% 5/5 EDIT “An enduring classic.” – Total Film Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Sorcerer (1977) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Contains two of the most astounding sequences in cinema, featuring a dynamited tree and a storm-lashed truck on a splintering rope bridge ...” – Total Film Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Mad to Be Normal (2017) 61% 4/5 EDIT “In this touchingly funny, quietly heartbreaking biopic, David Tennant excels as the complex and flawed Laing.” – Total Film Apr 6, 2017 Full Review Raw (2016) 93% 5/5 EDIT “A bracing and brilliant original, with a delicious script and meaty performances.” – Total Film Apr 6, 2017 Full Review Richard III (1995) 96% 4/5 EDIT “With a screenplay (co-written by McKellen) that crackles and spits like a roasting pig, it was clearly as much of a blast to make as it is to watch.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review The Beatles: Eight Days a Week -- The Touring Years (2016) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Given the subject matter, this still feels fresh thanks to rare/unseen footage.” – Total Film Dec 28, 2016 Full Review The Land of the Enlightened (2016) 43% 5/5 EDIT “A unique, stunning window to an extreme world.” – Total Film Dec 28, 2016 Full Review Half Way (2015) 4/5 EDIT “Hudson's excellent fly-on-the-wall documentary, filmed while she, her mum and younger sister were between homes, is urgent, powerful, eye-opening stuff.” – Total Film Dec 1, 2016 Full Review Gimme Danger (2016) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A conventional music doc about an extremely unconventional group ...” – Total Film Nov 16, 2016 Full Review Revolution: New Art for a New World (2016) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Eye-opening stuff, in every sense.” – Total Film Nov 7, 2016 Full Review A Hundred Streets (2016) 41% 3/5 EDIT “It's not Altman, but its heart is in the right place and Drameh impresses.” – Total Film Nov 7, 2016 Full Review A Girl at My Door (2014) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A soulful, shattering drama that highlights the lengths desperate people will go to survive.” – Total Film Oct 31, 2016 Full Review In Pursuit of Silence (2015) 90% 4/5 EDIT “In today's world, silence is a highly prized virtue, as this vital documentary exploring the philosophy, spirituality and practice of silence points out.” – Total Film Oct 19, 2016 Full Review Tiger Raid (2016) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Some superbly stylish flourishes make this a promising calling card for debut director Simon Dixon.” – Total Film Oct 4, 2016 Full Review High Tide (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “This Swansea-set drama barely puts a foot wrong -- featuring naturalistic dialogue and excellent lead performances, it's a sad, wise and even quietly hopeful affair.” – Total Film Mar 4, 2015 Full Review Naked (1993) 88% EDIT “There are also moments of tenderness, necessary chinks of compassion spearing the murk. It's also bitingly, appallingly funny. And it's a masterpiece.” – Film4 Mar 4, 2015 Full Review Theater of Blood (1973) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Memorable for its lurid set-pieces (notably Robert Morley being forced to eat his own poodles), it also remains a favourite among critics; suggesting, perhaps, a certain guilty conscience. Punish us!” – Total Film Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Northern Soul (2014) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Sporadically engrossing, its highlight is a brilliant recreation of an all-night dance-a-thon at that northern soul mecca, the legendary Wigan Casino.” – Total Film Oct 13, 2014 Full Review My Name Is Hmmm... (2013) 24% 2/5 EDIT “A laudable attempt, but 'Hmmm...' will likely be the most common response.” – Total Film Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Dead of Night (1945) 96% 4/5 EDIT “There's some genuinely skin-crawling stuff tucked away: some ghastly business with a ventriloquist's dummy, and one of the creepiest invitations from a bus conductor ever.” – Total Film Oct 12, 2014 Full Review Night Will Fall (2014) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The footage - discoveries made by the Allies in the liberated Nazi camps during 1945 - is graphic, terrible, unforgettable.” – Total Film Sep 15, 2014 Full Review Island of Lemurs: Madagascar (2014) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The gorgeous 3D certainly brings us nose to tail with these heavily anthropomorphised cuties, even if the actual wildlife lesson's a bit thin on the ground, owing to a very reduced running time.” – Total Film Sep 1, 2014 Full Review Finding Fela (2014) 60% 3/5 EDIT “It's a decent enough beginner's guide, though never quite gets a grip on its complex subject.” – Total Film Sep 1, 2014 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 91% 5/5 EDIT “The story of a cosmic visitation among ordinary folk-turned-obsessives, Spielberg's masterpiece is that rare blockbuster -- at once grown-up, yet full of fairytale, childlike wonder.” – Total Film Aug 22, 2014 Full Review
