Fatima (2020)
The visions arrive in a bright light as part of nature out of the breezes that move the trees, though there also is a CGI sequence of hell.

Agony (2020)
Unfortunately, titling a film Agony invites facetious comments about what it feels like to have to watch it.

Joanna Scanlan, known for her biting comedy performances in television series such as The Thick of It and Getting On, is phenomenal.

Rare Beasts (2021)
Rare Beasts is a bold, flawed first film that will surely, excitingly, lead on to more in future.

Sound of Metal (2020)
Sound of Metal is a must-see. Ahmed 100% deserved his 2021 Oscar-nomination for Best Actor.

4/5
Almodóvar brilliantly creates another female-focused world that's a curiosity of maddening, theatrical, melodramatic, verging-on-camp questions...

Apples (Mila) (2020)
So much of Apples and its meaning is open to alternative interpretations, and this imprints it in your memory - it's a cult film in the making.

4/5
Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)
Both men are superb, Standfield quieter, and unsympathetic, and Kaluuya in the more showy part, which earned him his Oscar-winning Supporting Actor nomination.

Billie (2020)
As a film Billie is but a fascinating glimpse and for all its good points, it may feel just as enigmatic as the legend.

Mogul Mowgli (2021)
Ahmed is electrifying in Mogul Mowgli, both as an actor and in the scenes of his fiercely angry rap concerts.

4/5
Kajillionaire (2020)
Kajillionaire is poignant yet funny, a dead-pan comedy drama about the poison of families, understanding intimacy and coming of age. It's also the love story of the year.

Misbehaviour (2020)
It's joyous, funny and inspirational and - when at the end we see these real women as they are now, still feminists - it's incredibly moving. This film is an absolute must-see.

Calm With Horses is original, with images that stay in your memory, but it's also extremely violent and emotionally bleak, and a very hard watch indeed.
