Let the Canary Sing (2023) |
It is a strangely unambitious piece, one that keeps unearthing points of interest and then recoiling from further exploration. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

The Final: Attack on Wembley (2024) |
Drink, drugs and racism embarrass English football, and all are represented in this damning film about fans who stormed the Euro 2020 final. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Another Body (2023) |
Sensibly, however, the film didn’t lay it on too thick: that would have been an unnecessary gimmick, a distraction from what was already a shocking tale. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Men Up (2023) |
If that sounds a little cheesy, well… yes, Men Up didn’t eschew the sentimental, but it got the balance between story, message and put-some-lead-in-your-pencil humour just right. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Ronnie O'Sullivan: The Edge of Everything (2023) |
The sum of it is that everyone would love to play like Ronnie O’Sullivan, but very few, on this evidence, would want to be him. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (2023) |
It was the least exciting but the most important truth to come out of Money Shot: until there’s legislation and the threat of sentencing for executives, no one gives a toss. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Prince of Muck (2021) |
Prince of Muck is a very slow, very moving character study that documents the inevitable erosion of the old ways in a fast-moving, ever changing world. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Dinosaurs: The Final Day with David Attenborough (2022) |
After 90 minutes of catastrophising, we were jolted into a major key and told that in fact what we were supposed to take from the programme was an environmental message. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

The Last Bus (2021) |
As beautiful as some of the landscapes are, and as brilliant as Spall is in repose, there is only so much sitting on a bus looking wistful that one actor can do. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Cinema Verite (2011) |
Cinema Verite didn't get bogged down in making points about reality TV or documentary ethics, focusing instead, as all good films should, on character. Brilliant performances from Diane Lane, Tim Robbins and James Gandolfini... saw to that. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Managing England: The Impossible Job (2018) |
In spite of having managed the nation's football team for five years from 2007, Capello still sees the English as a strange, confusing people obsessed with, and stymied by, events in the past. - Daily Telegraph (UK)
