To this end the lad makes a concerted and sexually orientated bid for freedom, seduced and seducing women old enough to well know he's barely legal. Igby Goes Down is a deliciously fresh and slyl find out more...

This latest offering from John Duigan ("Sirens", "Flirting") is arguably his most substantial effort to date. A sardonic study of the friendship between an 11-year-old girl and a handyman (Sam Rockwell) more than twice her age, the film skilfully avoids degenerating into low-budget Lolita-ism. Indeed, Mischa Barton's emotionally starved schoolgirl, Devon, seems to be the only character oblivious to Rockwell's not unconsiderable physical attractions. An intelligent, engaging insight into small to find out more...

Mona’s teenage life defines the word ‘crap’, not tragic, just without hope; her brother is the only family she has left and he’s found God in the same obsessively sociopathic way that he originally found booze, while a weekly hump in the back of a van with a married man actually constitutes fun rather than repetitive sexual abuse. Into this world wanders Tamsin, pretty, pretentious, spoilt but ignored and with a dangerous sense of mischief born of arrogance and naivety. An intense relationship b find out more...

A great performance from Dillon and an awesome soundtrack. find out more...
