William Hemingway writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. William Hemingway I'm an 80's kid who was brought up, like everyone else, on Spielberg and Lucas and a few funny guys from SNL. Later on came high action with futuristic robots, killer aliens and the Vietnam War but what really grabbed my attention was the comedy. As I got older I began to appreciate directorial style and a really well told story, which is something I still find essential to enjoying a movie now. I prefer to see film as an art form rather than pure entertainment and I find that a well filled frame is far more satisfying than star power or rakes of superheroes. Real life stories and the capturing of real human emotion affects me most now and I'm continually searching for things I've never seen before, or old things presented in new ways. My favourite films include Seven Samurai, Apocalypse Now, Dr Strangelove and In The Mood For Love although my Top 100 remains wide and varied and still has daft movies that I find completely enjoyable every time I watch them.

Film news - The Truffle Hunters At Cinemas July 9th. Find out more at UK Film Review. The Truffle Hunters At Cinemas July 9th Chris Olson Monday, July 5, 2021 at 3:04:14 PM UTC THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS Only At Cinemas This Friday, July 9 Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation. They’re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs. They live a simpler, slower way of life, in harmony with their loyal animals and their picture-perfect land, seemingly straight out of a fairy tale. They’re untethered to cell phone screens or the Internet, opting instead to make their food and drink by hand and prioritizing in-person connections and community. The demand for white truffles increases year after year, even as the supply decreases. As a result of climate change, deforestation, and the lack of young people taking up the mantle, the truffle hunters’ secrets are more coveted than ever. However, as it soon becomes clear, these aging men may just hold something much more valuable than even this prized delicacy: the secret to a rich and meaningful life.

Sponsors for film reviews website, helping to support filmmakers, filmmaking and indie cinema. Be a hero and get involved. Partners, Fans & Sponsors "UK Film Review deserve a big thank-you! They are a priceless gem to independent filmmakers who are fighting to survive in a world where Hollywood hogs the stage. They provide vital exposure and an all-important platform. Please keep up the good work so we can too!" - Angela Godfrey (Producer at Keen City) "UK Film Review provides my films the opportunity to be presented to a broad online community of film lovers and is an invaluable resource for independent filmmakers. Their reviews reflect both an expert knowledge and passion for the medium of film." - Alan King (Director and Filmmaker) " Indie filmmaking is a romantic illusion. However, once you've funded the project and dragged it through post production, it's sometimes (always) difficult to get eyes on your product. You may love the trailer you've cut- it's edgy, ambiguous and portrays your film as honestly as possible, but who's going to click the link? What Chris and the team have built with UK Film Review is a platform for indie films which is both supportive and fair. Communication is top notch and you get the impression they actually care. Reviews are personal and well written, boasting real insight and love for the medium. Through continued hard work the site has a strong fanbase, meaning there is a solid audience who might click your link. I've now dealt with UK Film Review on two feature films and I'm constantly impressed with their professionalism and generosity. When I Google my films, UK Film Review is always towards the top of the listings. They definitely have an influence and I look forward to watching that influence grow...

High Peak Independent Film Festival is a not-for-profit film festival that celebrates shorts and feature films from some of the best filmmakers around the world. The festival showcases up and coming talent from independent filmmakers across a four-day event of film, events and networking parties. Set in the beautiful town of New Mills, the festival takes place at the old theatre, New Mills Art Theatre, an almost hidden five hundred seater venue that takes you back to the past when you walk in. New Mills, only 45 minutes away from Manchester and Sheffield, is an easy commute and is worth the visit just to see the rolling hills that surround the village. It’s also known for making the famous Swizzles Matlow sweets! In the festival’s inaugural year back in 2017, the festival hit off with a bang and received great reviews from filmmakers, film lovers and those who just heard about it through word of mouth. It showed 51 films across a three and a half day event. In its second year, the festival will showcase 60 films (56 shorts, 4 features), amongst hosting an array of events and networking opportunities for filmmakers and festival goers alike. Programmes at this year's festival include our dedicated Young Filmmakers Shorts that include a selection of short films by young filmmakers aged 13-18-year-olds from around the world, a category that is always free for entry to those of that age. There is also a Women in Film programme that is dedicated to the outstanding work of female filmmakers in the independent film industry and our Best of the North which celebrates the best of local talent.

We also have our free 10-hour filmmaking challenge on the Thursday and panels on Saturday and Sunday too. High Peak Indie Film Festival High Peak Independent Film Festival is a not-for-profit film festival that celebrates shorts and feature films from some of the best filmmakers around the world. The festival showcases up and coming talent from independent filmmakers across a four-day event of film, events and networking parties. Set in the beautiful town of New Mills, the festival takes place at the old theatre, New Mills Art Theatre, an almost hidden five hundred seater venue that takes you back to the past when you walk in. New Mills, only 45 minutes away from Manchester and Sheffield, is an easy commute and is worth the visit just to see the rolling hills that surround the village. It’s also known for making the famous Swizzles Matlow sweets! In the festival’s inaugural year back in 2017, the festival hit off with a bang and received great reviews from filmmakers, film lovers and those who just heard about it through word of mouth. It showed 51 films across a three and a half day event. In its second year, the festival will showcase 60 films (56 shorts, 4 features), amongst hosting an array of events and networking opportunities for filmmakers and festival goers alike. Programmes at this year's festival include our dedicated Young Filmmakers Shorts that include a selection of short films by young filmmakers aged 13-18-year-olds from around the world, a category that is always free for entry to those of that age. There is also a Women in Film programme that is dedicated to the outstanding work of female filmmakers in the independent film industry and our Best of the North which celebrates the best of local talent. As well as many other shorts programmes, we are showcasing four feature films, including holding two UK Premieres for Sarah Barker’s ‘The Subject’ and Christophe Leclaire’s ‘Le Portrait’.

Student film reviews written from schoolchildren in the UK. Reviewing movies for UK Film Review. Student Film Reviews Here at UK Film Review, we like to do two things - promote the movies of filmmakers, and promote the film reviews of the people who love watching movies. This includes filmmakers from across the globe, and writers from across the UK. A hobby for some, a passion for others, film reviews can do more than just tell you whether a movie is worth seeing at the cinema. Film reviews are all about exploring the tireless efforts of a filmmaking team, who have worked, collaboratively, for months or years on a project in order to present it to an audience. Such efforts deserve us really delving into them, discussing the elements which worked for us, and those which didn't. Film reviews are also not about ignoring all other opinions. In fact, a room of 20 people all watching the same movie will more than likely have 20 different opinions about that film. Which is not to say any of them are right or wrong...after all, film reviews are just opinions! Below you will find one of our favourite Student Film Reviews which was submitted to UK Film Review for analysis.
