P.S. Wanted to shout out two great films I haven’t reviewed yet, but will write about in the future. DÌDI and MY OLD ASS, two crowd-pleasing coming-of-age films about being more appreciative of the family around you. #SundanceLondon
Last but by no means least, Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW. A transfixing, nightmarish and fundamentally heartbreaking film about two teens devoted to a Buffy-style show from the '90s, revolving around the transgender experience). Soundtrack is incredible too. #SundanceLondont.co/ioLaUwsKJR

Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie starred in HANDLING THE UNDEAD, a methodical zombie drama about grief co-written by Let the Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. I thought the film was well-made but emotionally hollow. #SundanceLondonloudandclearreviews.com/handling-the...

Lucy Lawless' NEVER LOOK AWAY was a fairly standard portrait of war photojournalist Margaret Moth. But it is helped by the fact Moth was such a larger-than-life figure. A tribute to her remarkable tenacity and an ode to journalism. #SundanceLondonloudandclearreviews.com/never-look-a...
Lucy Lawless’ Never Look Away profiles the tenacious Margaret Moth and her remarkable story as a camerawoman covering conflicts for CNN.

The rooftopping documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story is full of death-defying imagery – but fails to provide any emotional hook.
Rom-com horror musical YOUR MONSTER won the Audience Award. It juggled a lot - and yet, to the film's credit, it almost pulls off some of its more out-there elements. However, Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey are the ones who make this worth watching. #SundanceLondont.co/HBcGOPO8iS
Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey star in Your Monster, a rom-com horror musical that juggles a lot of elements – and almost pulls it off.
KNEECAP kicked off the festival with a bang. Starring all three members of the Belfast hip-hop trio it is about (plus Michael Fassbender), it is a musical biopic like no other. Anarchic, original, literally cheeky - and incredibly entertaining. #SundanceLondonloudandclearreviews.com/kneecap-film...
Kneecap is an anarchic, stylish and entertaining music biopic, starring all three members of the Northern Irish hip-hop group.
