While We're Young
Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 3rd April 2015
The sight of a middle-aged man in a trilby is hard to bear. Particularly when it isn't accompanied by what you judge to be any other changes in his regular attire: just a single hat, borne as a standard on the scalp, saying, Will this do? Am I cool again? The cycle of youth makes us all obsolete sooner or later, and it's hard to accept. And while there's a dignity to aspire to in Don Draper, defiantly immaculate in sports jacket and tie at a party full of hippies, can you blame a man for wanting to get back what he had when he can't pinpoint when he lost it?

Martha Marcy May Marlene
Movie Review | Ali | 4th February 2012
Despite success on the festival circuit and early talk of Oscar buzz, Martha Marcy May Marlene has found itself released in the UK on the busiest weekend of the year so far – sharing screens with Young Adult, Carnage, Chronicle, Man On A Ledge, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and, of all things, Jack & Jill – without so much as an Oscar nomination to its name. It'd be a tragedy if such a delicate movie was left shattered by the elbow-swinging of the annual awards season rush: Martha Marcy May Marlene might not have campaign funding or grandstanding performances, but it has heart and soul, two qualities which are slowly corrupted throughout for your viewing pleasure.
