Clay Pigeons

A dark, violent film lessened slightly by the hammy Vince Vaughn, but barely so. An edgy & well-written tale. 4/5

Mona Lisa

Neil Jordan's classic is both love story and crime thriller, about both the power of love and the sting of betrayal. 4/5

Jeffrey

A fabulous rom-com that's zany, off-the-wall and hilarious. Patrick Stewart is perfection. 3.5/5

Open Window

This film fails by refusing to show us the horror of the attack. Without seeing the wound its healing feels hollow. 3/5
