The next film on the GFF journey is the stylish noir thriller, Superior, from first-time feature director Erin Vassilopoulos. Starring Alessandra Mesa, Ani Mesa, Pico Alexander and Jake Hoffman; Superior is the feature-film version of the 2015 short film of the same name. 7/3/2022 GFF'22: TRUE THINGS review By Adam Ray Palmer
Kicking off our Glasgow Film Festival journey in 2022 is the sophomore movie from writer-director Harry Wootliff starring Ruth Wilson, Tom Burke and Hayley Squires. Following up Harry’s 2019 award-winning title Only You, Wootliff continues down the intimate drama route with True Things, a character-driven portrait based on the Kay Davies novel. 4/3/2022 GFF'22: NITRAM review By Adam Ray Palmer
The first film on my Glasgow Film Festival checklist was one I have been waiting to see for the best part of a year. Justin Kurzel is one of my favourite working directors today, and the story of Nitram is one that is as controversial as they come – so I was intrigued to see how this would be handled by Justin’s mastery. Let’s discuss… 15/1/2022 After Life series 3 review. By Adam Ray Palmer
After watching series two of the Netflix original from the brilliant mind of Ricky Gervais, it has been a long wait to finally indulge in the climatic season of After Life. The review I did in 2020 for After Life 2 propelled Cineroom to even more readers as Gervais himself enjoyed it, but more importantly he appreciated a certain swearword count… and so it has another home in this review too. Let’s get into it… 19/10/2021 SHORT: Free Fall film review By Adam Ray Palmer
Something a little different on Cineroom today as we haven’t covered many short films in the past, but Free Fall is one that caught my attention from the poster alone. A cool 19-minute short is the perfect lunch break movie, and one that will stop you munching on your sandwich, I’m sure. 18/10/2021 LFF'21: Bull film review By Adam Ray Palmer
What a monumentally violent way to end my London Film Festival expedition in 2021. Bull, Paul Andrew Williams' first feature film in nine years, is the chosen climax. Written and directed by Bafta®-winner Williams; Bull stars Neil Maskell (Kill List, Humans), Tamzin Outhwaite (Eastenders) and David Hayman (Taboo). 15/10/2021 LFF'21: 7 Days film review By Adam Ray Palmer
The first and only rom-com of the 2021 London Film Festival for Cineroom is 7 Days – the perfect movie to couple with Language Lessons from a few days ago. Directed by Roshan Sethi and co-written with Karan Soni; 7 Days stars Soni himself alongside the blossoming talent of Geraldine Viswanathan. 11/10/2021 LFF'21: Boiling Point film review By Adam Ray Palmer
The fourth film on our 2021 London Film Festival journey is the thrilling one-take kitchen drama, Boiling Point. Written and directed by Actor-turned-director Philip Barantini; Boiling Points stars Stephen Graham, Vinette Robinson, Hannah Walters and Jason Flemyng.  By Adam Ray Palmer
The third film at LFF for Cineroom is one I have been chasing since Berlinale and SXSW – and now I have finally tracked it down. Language Lessons is a debut feature film from Natalie Morales (also a co-writer with Mark Duplass) and, you guessed it, starring the duo of Morales and Duplass as well. 7/10/2021 LFF'21: Azor film review. By Adam Ray Palmer
First debuting at the Berlinale, the second film I caught at the London Film Festival was director Andreas Fontana and writer Mariano Llinás’ political-thriller, Azor. Starring Fabrizio Rongione, Stéphanie Cléau, Carmen Iriondo; writer-director Andreas Fontana’s first feature is a slow-burn of the highest order. |
