Cinecity Diary – 28th November – I, Anna
‘I, Anna’ has some notable and admiring moments it lacks the intelligence that a thriller of this level needs and this stops it from being a compelling watch.
Cinema
Cinecity Diary – 27th November – Yossi
‘Yossi’ is an engaging and brilliant piece of film making. It may not come with the big bells and whistles we are used to, it may be a bit simple for some, but it is an uncomplicated feel good story that is compelling viewing f...

Cinecity Diary – 19th November – I Wish
‘I Wish’ isn’t the instant classic that we might expect from the brilliant film maker, but there is definitely something here to savour with the naïveté and simplistic way in which these young brothers experience the world.

Cinecity Diary – 16th November – Sightseers Q&A
'Sightseers’ is a film that firmly builds on the foundation that Wheatley’s two previous movies laid and serves to confirm the film makers craft. I am very much looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next!
Cinema
Cinecity Diary – 15th November – Seven Psychopaths
While Seven Psychopaths may not be for everyone because of its extreme dark comedy and violence, those who are keen moviegoers and fans of the film industry will lap it up.

Walk the Line is still worth a watch to see both Phoenix and Mangold at their very best, and Phoenix’s turn here is why he is recognised as such a strong actor.

LFF Review – Blood
Blood is Nick Murphy’s follow-up to last year’s quietly eerie but underwhelming horror The Awakening, and it really feels as if the two have been painted with the same brush. Blood is dark and brooding and atmospheric, all grey...
