Royal Paintbox (2013) |
It's fitfully interesting, but a little bloodless and hamstrung by the Prince's own somewhat limited screen presence. - Time Out

Fresh Meat (2012) |
It takes a little while to get going, but it's never less than supremely watchable. - Time Out

The Great Hack (2019) |
The Great Hack worked best as a prologue to a looming crisis that should be of concern to us all: how can electoral laws be deemed fit for purpose when democratic processes are at the mercy of apparently unaccountable, amoral tech giants? - Daily Telegraph (UK)

(undefined) |
Sarwar's conclusion - strict regulation but not an outright ban for fear of driving the practice underground - felt about right, and consistent with a measured examination of an overlooked topic. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Escape From Dubai: The Mystery of the Missing Princess (2018) |
Escape from Dubai proved a damning indictment of an antediluvian, intrinsically unjust regime that seems, like so many others in the region, to operate above the law and beneath the contempt of anyone with any respect for human rights. - Times (UK)

Clear History (2013) |
The high points - especially a brilliantly worked running gag about soft-rockers Chicago - are spread too thinly, and David's improvised comedy of embarrassment is now very familiar. - Time Out

A Day in the Life of Earth (2018) |
It was a humbling reminder of, on the one hand, our insignificance, and, on the other, our disproportionately damaging impact on the planet. A sobering but significant note on which to welcome in the New Year. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

The Last Survivors (2019) |
Cary's film left me more certain than ever that hearing these experiences is not our right, but our privilege. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Gun No. 6 (2017) |
The roots of gun crime run deep and wide; favouring punishment over rehabilitation and vilification over understanding may be easier, but are unlikely to see Gun No 6 and its sisters decommissioned any sooner. - Times (UK)

Drowning in Plastic (2018) |
Dispiriting without being defeatist, Drowning in Plastic made valuable contributions to an urgent debate, assessing cause and effect, prescribing potential solutions and recognising likely obstacles. - Daily Telegraph (UK)
