  Remainder 2015

  Watched 25 Jun 2016

  "A very, very interesting film all the way through. It takes a little while to get going but once it sets its agenda it's a gripping, really complex narrative that keeps you guessing. You understand about as much as Sturridge does. It's refreshing to see a film as ambitious as this trying to get into the memory and psyche of someone with amnesia. An assured debut that is definitely one of my most special films of the year in terms…

  Notes on Blindness 2016

  Me Before You 2016

  Watched 16 May 2016

  "I think there's a conflict of interests between the love story and the disability story, but I was never bored by it, and for a film that wasn't essentially targeted at me, I did find a lot to like and most of it comes from Emilia Clarke. The fact that she's willing to put on the outfits that are a bit cheesy and out of the ordinary, she really sells it and I wonder if any other actress could do it the same kind of justice."
