I've been taking it a bit easy this week, following the busy weekend I spent organising the 44th London Critics' Circle Film Awards. It was a great event, packed with our terrific nominees and winners, and the coverage continues across the media (I posted several pics on
Insta). As for watching movies, there have just been four, all very watchable but not quite there...

BEST OUT THIS WEEK:
Perfect Days • The Iron Claw
The Taste of Things
Turning Red
ALL REVIEWS > |
Clara McGregor stars with her dad Ewan in
Bleeding Love, an offbeat father-daughter road movie that's somewhat uneven but has its moments. Kingsley Ben-Adir takes on the iconic title role in
Bob Marley: One Love, a biopic that tries far too diligently to create a myth when the man's actual life was amazing enough. The Stone Age thriller
Out of Darkness plays with cheap jump scares rather than actual suspense. But it's well-made, even if the hair, makeup and costumes are all wrong. And the dark British drama
Hoard has lots of visual style and huge emotional kicks, but struggles to engage the audience very deeply.
This coming week I'll be watching Dakota Johnson in
Madame Web, Olivia Colman in
Wicked Little Letters and the fantasy
Glitter & Doom, among other things. I'll also be flying off to Los Angeles for a family reunion, so I hope there are movies on the flight that I haven't yet seen.
