2/5
“Compared to Pixar's recent masterpiece Coco, so full of life, imagination and eccentricity, Early Man is middling, it's grey vs. technicolour.” –

“The remarkable story of one of the most influential illegal drug organisations you've never heard of, Orange Sunshine is William A. Kirkley's ground-breaking documentary about hippie group, the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.” –

“There is obvious talent in the storytelling but at times the reserved style of filmmaking feels televisual and there 's no spark to really get the film going.” –

I Dream Too Much (1935)

“I Dream Too Much means well but it can't move beyond its televisual a esthetic and a bland plot that doesn't really go anywhere.” –

Manson Family Vacation (2015)

3/5
“The film is gently funny, if a bit too slow, but the bizarro story line takes it to unexpected places and doing something different in the film industry right now is a much needed thing.” –

Addicted to Fresno (2015)

1/5
“Perhaps in other hands Fresno could have been a hilarious dark comedy , but instead Jamie Babbit and Karey Dornetto have made a chronically unfunny farce, harsh and offensive in its tone, inexcusably laughing at those who are worse off than themselves.” –

The Nymphets (2015)
3/5
“Gary Gardner is able to build real tension, filming the actors up close and get right in the face of action. There's definitely enough here to be excited for more of his work in the future.” –

4/5
“Winter does a great job of delving into the underworld of the internet and the intricacies of the Silk Road case, it's just a shame it's not a more rounded view, as you can't help but feel there's another side to the case you're not being told about.” –

“Hannah Fidell has quickly become one of the faces to watch in independent film, her naturalistic style of filmmaking and ability to get the best of our her actors and shepherd improvised scenes creates characters and movies you want to root for.” –

“Manglehorn is an intriguing film, or at least it should have been. David Gordon Green's latest is unfortunatel y passive, there might be depths to explore on a second or third watch, but I struggled to make it through the first.” –
