A Wild Life film review by UK film critic Joe Beck. Starring Robert Goodman, Raphael J. Bishop directed by Marie-Andrée Lemaire . HOME | FILMS | REVIEWS A Wild Life Film Review average rating is 4 out of 5 Critic: Joe Beck | Posted on: Mar 21, 2024 Directed by: Marie-Andrée Lemaire Written by: Zachary Goldman Starring: Robert Goodman, Raphael J. Bishop Sometimes it is the most simple things that have the most magical of healing properties. Nature, and time spent in it, be it swathes of rolling green grass, dense woodland, or even the open water or vast expanses of desert plaines, can soothe both the mind and the soul, putting life in perspective and making all our troubles that seemed so overwhelming before dissipate. The company of people, those whom you are able to form a deep connection with can also heal the mind and soul, letting us know that there are those that understand us out there. ‘A Wild Life’ portrays both those things, and though perhaps a little surface level, it is nonetheless beautiful and heartwarming to see the impact both have throughout the film. ‘A Wild Life’ establishes itself as a meditative, reflective film from the outset, with a score that immediately comes across as fitting the mould of thought-provoking and contemplative, while the opening shot is of leaves in a stream, as the water gently washes over them. It is a film about the virtue of life, and living life in nature and with people you connect to, but it is also a film about grief and sadness, and how individual’s move past those things. This is especially true of the old man, Chester (who is played by Robert Goodman with a weary charm and bluntness about him), who we first meet as he looks across a beautiful vista across a lake and brings a gun to his head. Chester has lost purpose in his life and feels as though he lacks any reason to continue with it, and so, with his wife having given in to ‘sadness’, he feels it is his time now to commit suicide. It’s chastening seeing a man having lost hope prepared to give his life away, but his attempted suicide is interrupted when the eager young boy scout Arthur (played by Raphael J. Bishop) comes stumbling into the picture pleading for help. Arthur has become separated from his scout group, and, having injured his knee, seeks the help of Chester to both strap him up and help him find his way. At first Chester is bemused and cold, though across the film he becomes tender and it appears as though he has rediscovered his joy for life once again. As Chester and Arthur sing camp songs and wear their white vests as they clamber through the wilderness we see not a young boy and an old man, but two young boys, both full of adventure and spirit for life, as Arthur, and the woodland that surrounds the two of them, have helped Chester rediscover his spark. Marie-Andrée Lemaire directs the film beautifully, and it is aesthetically beautiful, picking up on the little intricacies of the woods and using the natural lighting, and how it reflects off water, to the film’s advantage. The script, written by Zachary Goldman, is at times a little too obvious, but whilst it perhaps doesn’t go far enough in terms of nuance with its themes, it is nonetheless solid executing its simplicity very well. ‘A Wild Life’ is a life-affirming film, one which maybe doesn’t truly push the boundaries, but is nonetheless joyous to watch, and a reminder that life is much like its title suggests.

The thrilling, emotionally-charged climbing documentary, THE ALPINIST, will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 24th September 2021.. Brand new film trailers. The Alpinist Official Trailer The thrilling, emotionally-charged climbing documentary, THE ALPINIST, will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 24th September 2021. An intimate portrait of Marc-André Leclerc, a visionary solo climber driven by a simple love of the mountains, THE ALPINIST is produced by Red Bull Media House in association with Sender Films (THE DAWN WALL) and was an official selection of 2020 Telluride and SXSW Film Festivals. Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. Veteran filmmaker, Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing. Featuring Marc-André Leclerc, Brette Harrington, Alex Honnold, Reinhold Messner, Barry Blanchard. Cinematography by Jonathan Griffith, Austin Siadak, Brett Lowell. Edited by Joshua Steel Minor, Peter Mortimer, Josh Lowell, Fernando Villena. Original Composition by Turtle. Executive Producers Peter Mortimer, Josh Lowell, Nick Rosen, Scott Bradfield, Philipp Manderla. Producers Mike Negri, Clark Fyans. Produced by Ben Bryan. Directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen. THE ALPINIST IS AVAILABLE TO WATCH NOW ! Paper Tiger The Paper Tiger trailer suggests a searing, deeply moving examination of ambition, guilt, and the toxic pursuit of the American Dream. Ink The newly dropped trailer for Ink confirms those expectations, delivering a relentless, kinetic glimpse into Fleet Street's most disruptive era. The Social Reckoning Seeing the first teaser trailer drop for its spiritual companion piece, The Social Reckoning, sent an absolute chill down my spine. Focker-in-Law If the film can sustain the frantic, competitive energy displayed in this preview, Focker-In-Law might just be the rarest of cinematic beasts: a comedy sequel that actually manages to justify its own existence. We are officially on high alert. Heart of the Beast Heart of the Beast looks like a gripping, tear-jerking cinematic triumph that will resonate with action fans and animal lovers alike. We will definitely be front and centre with our popcorn when this one hits the big screen! Klara and the Sun Klara and the Sun looks like a heart-wrenching, beautifully acted triumph that will linger in the mind long after the curtains close. Power Ballad What has us incredibly excited about Power Ballad is the dynamic friction between its two leads. Paul Rudd seems perfectly cast as the rugged, everyday musician who just wanted a shot at the big time, acknowledging with a heavy heart that having his name on a song of that magnitude would have completely changed his life. The Debut UK Film Review hasn't yet seen the final curtain rise on this one, but if the film matches the sheer dramatic potency of its trailer, The Debut is set to be a staggering, must-see cinematic triumph. One Night Only One Night Only looks to be a sharp, subversively funny, and emotionally resonant look at how we connect when time is running out. It takes a wild, satirical premise and uses it to explore a timeless question: Who would you choose if you only had one night? Supergirl As we look toward the 2026 release, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow stands as a testament to the new direction of DC Studios. Masters of the Universe With the arrival of the first trailer for the 2026 reboot of Masters of the Universe, the cinematic landscape prepares for a collision of sword, sorcery, and surprisingly, suburban Earth. Wild Foxes Dune: Part Three Picking up roughly seventeen years after the seismic events of Part Two, the trailer immediately signals a shift in tone. While the first film was an act of world-building and the second a visceral war epic, Dune: Part Three—an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah—looks to be a far more claustrophobic and tense affair. In The Grey Scary Movie 6 The horror-comedy world is officially being turned upside down as the first trailer for Scary Movie 6 has finally arrived, marking a monumental return for the franchise that defined a generation of parody cinema. Empire of Lies Empire of Lies arrives in UK cinemas and on digital platforms on 27th March. Undertone Undertone is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Friday, March 13th, 2025. If the trailer is anything to go by, we suggest you keep the lights on and perhaps think twice before pressing play on your next favourite podcast. The Moment The Land of Sometimes Twins Alfie and Elise find a magical Wish Watch on Christmas Eve and are swept by the Wish Collector into the musical Land of Sometimes, where they learn that wishes have consequences. Avengers: Doomsday Fans are elated at the release of the first teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Set for a theatrical release on 18th December 2026, find out more here.

Chowdhury Saheb film review by UK film critic Swati Verma. Starring Ashwash M .A Sarkar M.A. Hadi, Shariar Rifat directed by Milton Dey. HOME | FILMS | REVIEWS Chowdhury Saheb Film Review average rating is 3 out of 5 Critic: Swati Verma | Posted on: Jan 19, 2022 Directed by: Milton Dey Written by: Ashwash M>A Chowdhary Starring: Ashwash M .A Sarkar M.A. Hadi, Shariar Rifat The title of the short film- "Chowdhury Saheb" suggests it is a foreign language film. It also has connotations of royalty, nobility, power, and supremacy. The director of this cinematic piece Milton Dey weaves a suitable environment that complements the gangster/crime genre as well as the screenplay. The set design, the character arc, color palette, lighting, and costume help the makers to create a world in which the audience believes. The script written by Ashwash M.A.Chawdhury attempts to showcase the rawness of the storyline and does not glorify the gangsters and the criminals. In the chapter 1, the conversation happens between Chowdhury saheb and other person. The person in the front is kept in darkness to maintain the thrill and suspense in the scene. The plot of the movie revolves around two gangsters who are rivals and wants to kill each other to eradicate the competition. Both of them want to prove their worth to the top boss. Whether these two are successful in the planned mission or the real situation will turn out to be very different than what was in the minds of the duo keeps the audience intrigued. Milton Dey has divided the narrative into 3 chapters. This gives a more clear perspective of the story to the audience and the viewers also understand all the hidden life lessons in the storyline. The script is well crafted. It does not give away the suspense of the tale up until the concluding moments of the short film. All the characters are well written which adds to the beauty of the narrative. The realism element is given importance while working on the characters of the film. Each of the characters appears to have multiple layers to their personality. It would be very interesting for the audience to decode their characters and enjoy the short film fully. The music, sound effects, makeup and special effects, all the elements effectively highlights every nuance of the gangster/criminal drama. The dialogue delivery by the actors also has been kept very natural so that it does not hinder the entire vibe of the short- film. The only weakness with this film is the absence of subtitles. The non- Bengali- speaking audience would not enjoy the short film at the core level. The viewers don’t get to appreciate the raw nature of the screenplay. The short film, thus, tends to limit itself to a small set of audience. Buy UKFR Banner Space About the Film Critic Swati Verma Short Film < All Reviews Next Film Review >

Klara and the Sun looks like a heart-wrenching, beautifully acted triumph that will linger in the mind long after the curtains close.. Brand new film trailers. Klara and the Sun When Sony Pictures unveiled the official trailer for Klara and the Sun , it immediately established itself as one of the most vital and anticipated cinematic events of the year. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s universally acclaimed novel, the footage reveals a film that looks set to be an extraordinarily moving, visually arresting, and deeply philosophical exploration of what it truly means to love, to look after someone, and to be human. The trailer introduces us to Klara, an "Artificial Friend" or A.F., an older model robot designed to provide companionship to lonely children. Set in a world where these androids are gradually losing their novelty, Klara spends her days in a shop window, looking up at the sky and praying to the "Glorious Sun" to give her a fighting chance at finding a home. Her prayers are answered when she is chosen by Josie, a young girl who sees a unique spark in the outdated robot, even if her pragmatic mother is largely swayed by the fact that Klara is a special model on a twenty percent discount. What makes us incredibly excited about this adaptation is the beautifully balanced tone struck by the preview. On one level, Klara begins her journey with the innocence of a toddler, soaking up the world around her, learning from her humans, and asking simple, childlike questions about where the sun lives. Yet, beneath this pastel-hued innocence lies a creeping, melancholic dread. The reality of Klara's existence is starkly laid bare by the world around her: humans ask an immense amount of their artificial companions, and the family’s matriarch coldly reminds her that she is strictly under a trial warranty. One mistake, and she faces being sent back to the factory to be melted down into parts for the next generation. Visually, the film looks absolutely stunning, capturing a distinct, slightly heightened reality where the warmth of natural sunlight clashes beautifully with the cold, sterile interiors of a fractured household. There are hints of secrets locked away in Josie's home—things the mother warns are none of Klara’s concern—suggesting a deeply emotional mystery at the heart of the narrative. As Josie’s well-being comes into question, Klara sets off on a poignant, singular mission to seek answers from the Sun itself, desperately trying to find a way to heal the family and save them from a creeping darkness. This first look gives us immense confidence. It promises to be a film that avoids standard sci-fi tropes of robotic rebellion, choosing instead to focus on the quiet tragedy of a machine capable of a devotion that might outlast the very humans she was built to serve. Klara and the Sun looks like a heart-wrenching, beautifully acted triumph that will linger in the mind long after the curtains close. Paper Tiger The Paper Tiger trailer suggests a searing, deeply moving examination of ambition, guilt, and the toxic pursuit of the American Dream. Ink The newly dropped trailer for Ink confirms those expectations, delivering a relentless, kinetic glimpse into Fleet Street's most disruptive era. The Social Reckoning Seeing the first teaser trailer drop for its spiritual companion piece, The Social Reckoning, sent an absolute chill down my spine.

Masters of the Universe With the arrival of the first trailer for the 2026 reboot of Masters of the Universe, the cinematic landscape prepares for a collision of sword, sorcery, and surprisingly, suburban Earth. Wild Foxes Dune: Part Three Picking up roughly seventeen years after the seismic events of Part Two, the trailer immediately signals a shift in tone. While the first film was an act of world-building and the second a visceral war epic, Dune: Part Three—an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah—looks to be a far more claustrophobic and tense affair. In The Grey Scary Movie 6 The horror-comedy world is officially being turned upside down as the first trailer for Scary Movie 6 has finally arrived, marking a monumental return for the franchise that defined a generation of parody cinema. Empire of Lies Empire of Lies arrives in UK cinemas and on digital platforms on 27th March. Undertone Undertone is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Friday, March 13th, 2025.

TERRA film review by UK film critic William Curzon. Starring Tayo Aluko, Meg Birley, Ramin Farahani directed by Rory Wilson. HOME | FILMS | REVIEWS TERRA Film Review average rating is 4 out of 5 Critic: William Curzon | Posted on: Nov 4, 2025 Directed by: Rory Wilson Written by: Rory Wilson Starring: Tayo Aluko, Meg Birley, Ramin Farahani TERRA depicts a war zone setting, following a war doctor and his medical staff who are forced underground into a makeshift hospital, only to be faced with a desperate father, Dabir (Ramin Farahani), and his daughter, who are willing to do whatever it takes to be helped to cross the border. Opening in an almost dystopian wartime backdrop, the film viscerally forces the viewer into a harrowing and desperate journey following a father and daughter trying to survive in the desolate war zone. Even with the film's bleak subject matter, there's a beauty to be found within the performances from Ramin Farahani and Runya Ghani, who effortlessly portray the father and daughter. Their chemistry is magnetic, and the narrative remains character-focused primarily rather than a spectacle-heavy depiction of war, which makes their relationship profoundly compelling to witness. The narrative consistently hooks you in due to threats frequently looming over the central characters and a severe amount of tension being built up. Another substantial positive feature formally is the musical score, which anchors scenes of terror and keeps the flow of the pacing tight alongside meditative scenes of despair; however, it can become overbearing at times between sequences of dialogue. Depictions of wartime and a heavy focus on the injuries characters endure make the presentation raw and difficult to watch at times, and can easily get under your skin with the rich attention to detail. While the pacing can become uneven at times, thanks to the lack of characterisation, specific characters are given, and it does lose some momentum towards the conclusion due to how frenetic the first 40 minutes are, the finale is suitably satisfying and pulse-pounding. The tight runtime works in its favour, with the piece never overstaying its welcome or feeling prolonged. Once the tightly managed opening concludes and the inner conflict hits the fan, the piece remains engaging and focused throughout the rest of the runtime. The film makes outstanding use of its limited budget, primarily setting it around one area, which keeps the narrative focus linear, rarely putting a foot wrong while tackling culturally relevant and thematically potent themes of the horrors of war. Rory Wilson impressively helmed the piece, utilising extreme close-ups which feel as claustrophobic as a straitjacket, never shying away from the brutality and isolation of fear. Whilst the depth of the characters is perhaps compromised by overly convoluted inner revelations that sometimes feel shoehorned in for shock value, the central twist still manages to be compelling and gut-wrenching. The father-child trope can feel derivative of other pieces of media; however, the performances and chemistry from the two actors elevate the material to outstanding heights. Showcases of empathy towards a father who is willing to do what it takes to protect his family and doctors trying their best to help as many helpless victims as possible are profoundly universal themes and something that is naturally compelling as a viewer. The conclusion of the story is emotionally overwhelming while wrapping up narrative threads in a satisfying manner with a sense of closure for the audience, for what is suggested for the character's further journey beyond the credits. TERRA is an unforgettable depiction of the horrors of a bleak war zone, while providing a colossal helping of empathy towards the doctors and helpless individuals, unfortunately forced into a horrific situation. The central relationship and performances from Ramin Farahani and newcomer Runya Ghani are outstanding, alongside a mesmerising supporting cast. A raw and uncompromising vision that rarely lets up and never loses sight of its character-focused narrative.

Pandemic Spy Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW Pandemic Spy ’s aesthetics are overtly influenced by the work of Edgar Wright. The quick pans, modulation of movement speeds, and slick, fast-paced editing give it a comic tone that feels familiar. More layers are added by allowing interplay between Fisher and the audience. He is granted a noir-style retrospective narration as well as the ability to break the fourth wall. This works as Livermore is instantly likeable and his charisma makes even the exploration of the darker side of the pandemic feel bearable. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.
