The Skin I Live In We Need To Talk About Kevin Tyrannosaur Drive Midnight in Paris

The Skin I Live In

  Internationally adored filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar reunites with his fellow successful Spanish cinematic export Antonio Banderas for the inventive, elaborate amalgam of horror, drama, noir, thriller and even comedy, The Skin I Live In. »

We Need To Talk About Kevin

A deftly disturbing and deeply devastating picture of the profound perils and permanence of parenthood, Lynne Ramsay’s astounding, exquisite adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s best-selling, award-winning nature versus nurture novel  We Need To Talk About Kevin is unsettling and mesmerising. »

Tyrannosaur

Powerful might be the most appropriate term, however the word does not even begin to describe Paddy Considine’s compelling, confronting, contemplative and unexpectedly cathartic Tyrannosaur, an emotive exploration of the underside of British poverty. »

Drive

From the electro-pop soundtrack that accompanies the feature from the outset, to the austerity of the Cannes Film Festival-winning direction that lingers until the final shot, Drive is one of 2011’s most stylish efforts. »

Midnight in Paris

Boasting exceptional acting and direction, Midnight in Paris is pleasantly sentimental and playfully surreal, as well as sweet, stylish and smart. A beguiling Parisian postcard, the finessed feature exemplifies Allen at his European best. »
