ANIMALS (2019)

Certification15 Our Rating

Two best friends, in a coming of age, finding their purpose within their own love story story. Helped and hindered with copious narcotics, alcohol and general partying. Based on the novel from 2014 of the same name by Emma Jane Unsworth. This film has some wonderful bits. If you appreciate some depth, and challenge, and at times a female Withnail and I / Fleabag'esk environment this will likely work for you.

ANYWHERE BUT HERE (1999)

Certification12 Our Rating

Portman is excellent, balancing wisdom and petulance, loyalty and imposition, as Ann, a 14-year-old dragged away from Bay City, Wisconsin, in the Mercedes of her eccentric mother, speech therapist Adele (Sarandon), who's hellbent on making it to Beverly Hills. That they only get to the foothills can't be counted a real setback, nor can the compromise apartment, nor the effects of Adele's misjudged romantic liaison, nor the pressure of Ann's increasingly pertinent contribution to family argument. find out more...

BAD MOMS (2016)

Certification15 Our Rating

Externally gaudy with crude gags and humor, internally heartfelt and utterly charming; Bad Moms is a surprisingly enjoyable film. The film's strong female cast, preposterous comedy and loveable tone makes for almost a 'guilty pleasure' that moms and audiences can happily watch countlessly. 4/5
