ANIMAL KINGDOM UK BluRay review

by Matthew Lee, July 15, 2011 9:50 AM


Animal Kingdom might look small-scale on paper, but David Michôd's moody Australian crime drama has a fairly broad scope. The film tracks the bickering and feuding between a Melbourne family of armed robbers and the way this mish-mash of co-dependent...

by Matthew Lee, December 21, 2010 5:47 PM


Jacek Borcuch's All That I Love is definitely a fantastic little film: just bear in mind you've almost certainly seen a great deal of it before. The story of a teenager growing up in 1980s Poland, set against the...

by Kurt Halfyard, June 18, 2010 11:17 AM

by Todd Brown, May 10, 2010 3:04 PM
