    Derek vs Derek review – farmers go head to head in rewilding rivalry with real bite - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This ebulliently accessible but never tacky British documentary finds a delightfully sneaky way to explore debates around environmental damage, agriculture and the countryside without ever being preachy, dry or patronising. The trick is to find engaging characters who happen to have opposing points of view, and while by the end most viewers would reckon that the pro-environmentalists pretty much win the argument, the conservative element of the farming community gets to have its say and make its

    Child review – jump scares abound in twisty organ transplant fable that keeps horror at its heart - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Stippled with first-world guilt about income inequality even between fellow EU member states, this Luxembourg-made horror sprinkles a bit of liberal fairy dust over what is otherwise a pretty straight-up, if twisty, horror setup: a grunting, inarticulate and physically disfigured big baddie stalks the normie protagonists who shouldn’t have come round these impoverished parts. Think Grand Duchy Chainsaw Massacre, though admittedly without any chainsaws. There are sullen locals, a dilapidated farm

    April X review – Connor Storrie searches for missing twin in dystopian dream-tech sci-fi thriller - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sketchy in every sense of the word, this sci-fi thriller is set in the not-too-distant future in a dystopian concrete city (actually mostly Bucharest looking like itself), where life is cheap but screenwriting conceits are clearly expensive, given most of the main ones here appear to be borrowed from other movies. Brother-and-sister twins Baxter (Connor Storrie, from Heated Rivalry) and April (Lilly Krug) are struggling to get by and mooching around the fringes of the criminal world, doing jobs

    Remake review – Ross McElwee’s magnificent and moving tribute to a tragic loss and the art it inspired - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This new film from revered documentary-maker Ross McElwee is an extraordinary work, arguably his most audacious use yet of autobiographical material while at the same time being a coruscating self-criticism of that same technique. Think of it as an artistic ouroboros (a snake eating its own tail). Remake is all at once about creativity, shame, love and loss, revelling in the way film can capture a moment of truth and honesty, but tempered by the knowledge that once a subject knows they’re being

    Shadows of Beirut review – chaos and crisis as woman goes back to birth city in fractured Covid-era drama - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This somewhat overwrought drama was apparently shot during the Covid-19 pandemic, partly in the city of the title and partly on sets in a Bulgarian studio. Its higgledy-piggledy production schedule perhaps accounts for the film’s fractured, frenetic quality and the feeling that the characters are perpetually in motion. Mind you, to be fair, the shredded editing might also be meant to reflect the distraught mental state of protagonist Lana (Tala Calil, also co-writer and producer) and the energy
