"Director Cyril Aris’s A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD tells a story that can and has collapsed into a maudlin heap many times on film. However, the gentle chemistry of the romantic leads, the dexterity with which the film handles the passage of time, and the sincerity of relatable themes refracted through a Lebanese prism make the film an affecting and engaging romantic drama." - @JimGR from #LFF: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/a-sad-and-beautiful-world/

"DIE MY LOVE is unlikely to be considered the pinnacle of Ramsay’s career. Still, even when revisiting themes, the intense clarity of vision ensures Ramsay’s work continues to feel fresh and ominously vibrant." - @JimGR reviews out of #LFF: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/die-my-love/

"While WAKE UP DEAD MAN may not bring anything novel for newcomers to the series, it’s a treat for KNIVES OUT fans, serving as a corrective for the excesses of GLASS ONION and imbuing the story with meaningful resonance for contemporary Christian politics." - @simonxix at Glasgow Film Theatre's satellite #LFF screening: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/wake-up-dead-man/

"BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER rarely fails to be entertaining, with the visuals and performances taking the film a long way. However, they are fleeting thrills in the service of an unmemorable story. Edward Berger’s film looks like a high roller, but it’s playing with buttons and matchsticks." - @JimGR at #LFF: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/ballad-of-a-small-player/ #cinemastodon #londonfilmfestival #balladofasmallplayer

"Overall, the ARE YOU KIDDING? strand of short films at London Film Festival 2025 has (for the most part) a commanding understanding of tone, pitching the collection into a tradition of morbid, dark and absurd humour." - @JimGR reviews the shorts screening tonight at #LFF2025: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/lff-shorts-are-you-kidding/

Our Glasgow Film Festival coverage continues with @simonxix's review of MR. K, starring #CrispinGlover. "While it’s visually striking & Crispin Glover gives a wonderful performance[,] MR. K’s web of allusions to other works grows a little thin[...]" - https://takeonecinema.net/2025/mr-k/ #cinemastodon #glasgowfilmfest

"#MikeLeigh’s first film in six years is one of his most poignant and arresting dramas. HARD TRUTHS is nothing less than immaculate in its construction and is bound to resonate deeply with British audiences living in a post-Covid world." - James Learoyd reviews: https://takeonecinema.net/2025/hard-truths/ #cinemastodon #hardtruths #cinema #film #movies

"THE ASSESSMENT's ideas bolster the excellent performances & premise. It never quite rises to meet its loftier concerns, but [the] writing & captivating performances result in something well above a passing grade." - @JimGR reviews the late #LFF addition: https://takeonecinema.net/2024/the-assessment/

"#SANTOSH is a patient film that lays out the corrupting effects of a society unconcerned for some of its citizens. The #film illustrates how a dysfunctional environment can pervert the meagre empowerment it offers marginalised people." - @JimGR reviews: https://takeonecinema.net/2024/santosh/ #cinema #filmreview #cinemastodon

Finishing up my year by banging on about a second really good #football doc. This time we’re going global with my spiel about football & football fandom as a tool for understanding communities & societies, with Ragnhild Ekner’s ULTRAS out of #LFF a couple of months ago.

My #LFF reviews continue to trickle out. The latest at @takeonecinema.net is #SANTOSH, a #film I thought was really very good. It has since been selected to represent (slightly confusingly) the UK in the #Oscars‘ international feature film category. Review below!

The Assessment's pitch - personal-scale #scifi with lofty themes - is so aggressively up my alley I had to check it out at #LFF. It's not quite up to its weightier concerns, but it's well-observed and a good reminder of how good #ElizabethOlsen can be. Review below for @TAKEONECinema

New Xenopod! #AlienResurrection! Good bits but largely bilge. Talking about it — how it reflects the state of franchise filmmaking at the time, misogynistic tones and inconsistent weirdness, #Whedon arrogance — was much more interesting. https://takeonecinema.net/thexenopod/alienresurrection/ @TAKEONECinema
