THE GUILTY – ★★★★ – Brilliantly made, short and tense Danish film completely set in a small police emergency call centre. Deep story and character development done entirely by one man’s interaction with others, almost entirely by phone. Must see. #MIFF2018

FIRST REFORMED – ★★★☆ – Ethan Hawke is great in this film by Paul Schrader, about a minister dealing with his past demons, while trying to assist his small clergy with theirs. Amanda Seyfried (Twin Peaks 2017) also top notch. Ending was a little unpredictable, but not in a bad way. #MIFF2018

SOLLERS POINT – ★☆ – Or ‘Sollers Pointless’. A seemingly random mix of events for an ex-convict, with no particular order, story, beginning or end. Watch Danny Glover’s (who also produced this film) Atlanta instead. #miff2018

THE WORLD IS YOURS – ★★★★- Thoroughly enjoyable and well paced French heist film. Excellent casting, do yourself a favour!#MIFF2018
