Dead Man's Shoes

This thriller has a twist to it, which unfortunately I saw about half way through. It's well acted, but a bit thin in plot and quick in pacing - I would have liked more character detail. just okay for me. 3/5

Miss You Already

Yes, this is a sentimental cry-fest, but it's beautifully acted with a solid plot. If you liked "A Fault in Our Stars", you'll like this lovely yet tragic film as well. 4/5

Macbeth

This most recent version of Macbeth isn't just bad, it's offensively bad. Fassbender and Cotillard drone their dialogue in near monotones - there is no intensity or emotion present. Indeed, apart from a few scenes, the entire film is devoid of emotional impact. There is no madness, no passion, nothing. The changes made to the text made little to no sense, and, were it not directed so beautifully, I would have one starred this. I actually started fast-forwarding after the banquet scene. So not good. 2/5

The World's End

I was far more interested in the movie it started as than what it became - a lost opportunity I think. 3/5

Now Is Good

I hadn't realized how much this had gotten to me until it ended and I burst into tears. Tenderly acted, lovely. 4/5

Tyrannosaur

Paddy Considine has created an utterly heartbreaking film that is superbly acted by both leads - I wept at the end. This film also has the single best character introduction in movie history IMHO. What an amazing film, it's a must-see. 5/5

Submarine

This British coming-of-age dramedy is quirky & charming but has a very dark bite to it like bitter chocolate. 4/5
