★★★
Alex Lawther is finally given the chance to show off the lighter side of his dysfunctional adolescent speciality in Freak Show and does so with an excess of panache and eyeliner alike. The film itself, a directorial debut for actress/producer Trudie Styler, lacks nuance and more than a passing foot in the present day.
★★
Having proved a surprise success story at the Chinese box office earlier this month, My Pet Dinosaur is a streaming only affair in the UK. It is a low budget Aussie adventure with more technical ambition than creative impetus.
Overboard | Review
★★★
Well, this is surprising. Top marks to Rob Greenberg. Overboard is the remake of a terrible Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell comedy from 1987 and isn’t half bad. Sweet, funny and even relevant, this one’s a keeper.
