Watch Man to Man at the 2022 UK Film Review Festival. See the UKFRF 2022 lineup and buy your festival pass. Man to Man Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW A sharp script crackles with tension as Dion and Malcolm trade mental blows while they work out. The visual sequencing cleverly intersperses shots of them talking and then boxing in full kit. They each have their own perception of racism and contrasting views on how to deal with it. It almost becomes an historical study of American civil rights. Malcolm represents the aggressive approach much like his namesake Malcolm X. Meanwhile Dion adopts the more cerebral tools of persuasion and intellect, which is reminiscent of Dr Martin Luther King. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.

Film news - Dirt Music Gets July Digital Release. Find out more at UK Film Review. Dirt Music Gets July Digital Release Chris Olson Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 12:07:21 PM UTC Dirt Music Coming to Digital Download 19th July Adapted by Gregor Jordan from Tim Winton's critically acclaimed novel of the same name, the film features an incredible cast including leading performances from Kelly Macdonald (Line of Duty), Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy) & David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings). Dirt Music follows Georgie (Kelly Macdonald) who's barely holding it together these days without a drink. Once a nurse, now she’s trapped in White Point with local crayfish baron, Jim Buckridge (David Wenham) and his two sons. One hazy night she sees the lone figure of Lu Fox (Garrett Hedlund) appear in the mists of the bay. A long time ago he was a dirt musician, but now he survives as a poacher - an unwise choice given Jim’s iron-grip on the local fishing trade. Georgie is instantly drawn to Lu, and the pair begin an intense affair. What Georgie doesn’t realise is that the Foxes and the Buckridges have a long, murky history which just might rise to the surface. Dirt Music will be available on Digital Download from 19th July The King's Man UK Home Release Date Announced The Latest King’s Man Film Will be Available on Digital February 9 and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD on February 21.

As opinion splitting as they are, the UK Film Review Awards are here to stay. The reason for that is that...we just love a bit of pomp and ceremony. No that's not actually true. Really it's because great work should be greatly rewarded and it is lovely for our critics and the public to put their thinking hats on and determine: Which films did I see this year that I really, truly loved? Which filmmakers deserve to know that I appreciated their work above all others this year? Below you will find the nominations for the 2018 UK Film Review Awards. Give us some shoutouts on social media! The winners of the UK Film Review Awards will be announced sometime in December! Next year we are hoping to have an official party but keep that under wraps for now ;) AND THE 2018 WINNERS ARE...

Watch Railroad to Hell: A Chinaman's Chance at the 2022 UK Film Review Festival. See the UKFRF 2022 lineup and buy your festival pass. Railroad to Hell: A Chinaman's Chance Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The narrative moves along at a sharp pace and exploits some well-judged performances from various cast members. Ernest Borgnine delivered a nice cameo in one of last film performances; and Jason Connery borrowed his Dad’s mannerisms to useful effect as Sam. But it’s Reggie Lee who steals the honours as Sing; a character caught between two worlds and wrongly accused of murder. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.

Prey Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The acting is very strong and Turk is quite convincing as an angry, suicidal man who also believes that there might still be hope in his life. Webster is great as the determined 'older man' who is convinced that his life has no meaning and must end. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.
