December 8, 2020
Editor's Pick
The antithesis of upbeat, The Painted Bird is an assiduously bleak odyssey seen through the once innocent eyes and hellacious suffering of a young boy in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe.

Five Graves To Cairo (1943): Eureka! Masters of Cinema Blu-Ray Review

August 16, 2020
A thrillingly pacey but almost farcical tale of undercover waiters with orthopaedic shoes, Five Graves To Cairo is a theatre production first and feature film second but always entertaining.

A refreshingly simple and no-nonsense war film that captures the intensity of naval warfare whilst Hanks provides yet another effortless performance.

Shepherd: The Hero Dog

June 24, 2020
The titular Shepherd does indeed save the day, and the entire film, which features a muzzled and surface level script that would make a great entry point for younger audiences beginning to learn about the treatment of Jews in World War Two.

A captivating lead from Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and an engrossing espionage tale means its impossible to keep my widespread praise for The Spy under wraps.

The Resistance Banker

September 17, 2018
A gripping adaptation of one of World War Two's lesser known resistance stories, The Resistance Banker is steady at times, but a worthwhile and satisfying watch for Netflix subscribers.
