My Sight & Sound review of Game is online.
www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...
Game review: Tales from beyond the rave
Sleaford Mods’ vocalist Jason Williamson stars as a violent poacher with a grudge against local ravers in a solid debut that has a little drop of psychedelia in its scrumpy.

I am being completely sincere when I say that Udo Kier’s performance as Professor Pericles on SCOOBY-DOO: MYSTERY INCORPORATED is easily in his top 5 best roles.

RIP to one of the greats.

Gene Tierney as Laura is a perfect casting choice.

What a run of films Gerard Johnson is on. @annodracula.bsky.social absolutely bang on the money about this from one of the country's most exciting directors. No-one is making films like this. Go see Odyssey, one of the year's best
sightsoundmag.bsky.social Sight and Sound magazine @sightsoundmag.bsky.social · 7d
“[Gerard Johnson is] the most underrated director currently working at the top of his game in Britain – his films home in on distinctly London strands of lowlife which are explored with hallucinatory vividness”

Because Ian Carmichael played both characters, we tend to remember Lord Peter Wimsey as a crime-solving version of Bertie Wooster - even Dorothy L. Sayers has characters in her books make that connection ...
