Dark River ** (2017, Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley, Sean Bean) – Movie Review
Writer-director Clio Barnard’s dark and gloomy 2017 drama Dark River is a harrowing, depressing experience and a none too successful movie, afflicted by some of the inevitable clichés of the family abuse genre. However, the two […]

Among Giants *** (1998, Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Griffiths, James Thornton, Lennie James, Andy Serkis) – Classic Movie Review 1284
Director Sam Miller’s 1998 film is a likeable, moving and highly charged love story based around the strange lives and dangerous passions of a group of pylon painters on the Yorkshire moors. Pete Postlethwaite plays […]
Brassed Off **** (1996, Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald, Ewan McGregor) – Classic Movie Review 425
