Sergeant York

A bit of anti-American propaganda that could have been so much more

A handsome reproduction of 1970s-era Britain but with a distinctly contemporary revulsion against Cold War style espionage and its practitioners

The three Australian Twentyman brothers are such lovable criminals that we’re even supposed to love their criminality. In short, they’re just like American movie criminals.

Me Myself I, written and directed by Pip Karmel, is a sort of Australian version of Sliding Doors but with little of its prototype’s wit or cleverness.

A not-uninteresting first feature from Dylan Kidd is a little too glib about providing its hero with the fixings for a moral makeover, but, all the same, it’s hard not to like him.

A celebration of the rich, multicultural tapestry that is Britain today whose sunny, funny approach to questions of cultural difference is perhaps just a tad overoptimistic.
