  Understated yet Captivating
  
  This is a strange, beguiling film. It sounds horribly harrowing but isn't. In the end, it's uplifting without any cloying sentimentality.

  Chilling betrayal

  I'm Not Scared
  
  This is hard to categorise but it's not the taut thriller that you might expect and, apart from one moment, has no nasty shocks. It's based on a lovely ... read more »

  One of my favourites this year. An endearing tale, seen through the eyes of children set in remote Italy. It has drama, intrigue, excitement and beauty.
