My Scientology Movie Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
Today’s review is of a documentary film that debuted at LFF this year but I sadly missed it. Luckily enough, the Phoenix in Leicester screened it a week later.
 
My Scientology Movie is written and presented by BBC journalist Louis Theroux and serves as his first feature-length, cinema-released film.
 
This 90-minute feature certainly makes for interesting viewing, but also a little disturbing…

The Girl With All The Gifts Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
Today’s review is a little bit of a rarity on Cineroom. We don’t normally cover many horror/zombie flicks but The Girl with all the Gifts is a little different to the main.
 
Directed by Colm McCarthy (Peaky Blinders series 2) and adapted by the novel authored by Mike Carey, The Girl with all the Gifts stars Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close and Paddy Considine.
 
A packed Phoenix cinema screen awaited this film, pre-judging the movie to be just another zombie thriller. Maybe, just maybe, they would be wrong...

Swiss Army Man Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
Today’s review is a bit of a mad one. I caught Swiss Army Man in a busy Phoenix theatre which left everyone racking their brains when the credits rolled.
 
Written by the duo Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, known for their quirkiness, their imagination has potentially peaked with this movie.
 
Swiss Army Man stars Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano in roles completely out of the ordinary…

LFF60: Una Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
On Saturday, day four of the 60th London Film Festival, I managed to catch the American-British-Canadian drama film Una.
 
Una is directed by Benedict Andrews and adapted from David Harrower’s play Blackbird. The film stars Rooney Mara, Ben Mendelsohn and Riz Ahmed.
 
I hadn’t researched this hard-hitting drama, but with calibre of actors involved, it was also going to be unmissable at the LFF…

Directed by Tate Taylor and starring Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux, The Girl on the Train is screening at the popular Phoenix Leicester.
 
I caught the current UK’s number one box office film at my number one favourite cinema…

LFF60: Trolls Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
Our fifth and only animation film of the 60th London Film Festival is Dreamworks' all-singing-and-all-dancing Trolls.
 
Trolls is directed by Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn and stars Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Zooey Deschanel and pop sensation Justin Timberlake.
 
Trolls has been well documented in the press recently and so I was expecting big things from the little guys...

Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
The fourth review from this year's London Film Festival is Amazon Studios' family drama Manchester by the Sea.
 
The film is written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan and stars Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler and Lucas Hedges.
 
Family drama films seem to be dominating the first few days of LFF60, but how does this one rate?

LFF60: The Worthy Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
The third review from the 60th London Film Festival is the Arabic dystopian film The Worthy directed by Ali F. Mostafa.
 
The Worthy is brought to the LFF by Image Nation Abu Dhabi and starring Mahmoud Al Atrash and Samer Al Masry.
 
Would the only foreign-language film I’m covering this year also be the best?

LFF60: Tower Film Review.

 
Picture
​By Adam Ray Palmer
 
Cineroom’s second review from LFF is our first and only documentary we’ll catch this year; the heartfelt and gripping Tower.
 
Tower is brought to LFF by director and producer Keith Maitland who debuted his film at South by Southwest earlier this year.
 
I’d heard lots of good things about this unusual docu-drama and it wasn’t even a film I picked to cover…
