Review: Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is low on laughs but makes a bold statement

Movie Review | Luke Whiston | 13th August 2020

The Ghost

Movie Review | Anna | 18th April 2010

Polanski's first film in five years has been met with a very mixed response. Little White Lies said "the whole movie is actually Polanski being, well, shit."

I'm going to have to embrace my inner Lib Dem and come down squarely in the middle with a solid-but-not-mind-blowing three stars.
