Big up to the volunteers at @davidleancinema.bsky.social in Croydon Town Hall. First visit and surely won't be the last!

8/10 like last year's Seed of the Sacred Fig, this was filmed in secret. Very topical for recent events in Iran, it explores survivors' revenge instinct while they try to maintain their humanity

8/10 if I wasn't a Neil Diamond fan, I'd probably give it a 7! A great performance from Kate Hudson opposite Hugh Jackman and a good supporting cast. A bit of a jukebox musical but can't complain...

7/10 Quirky & dark psychological thriller taking many twists and turns. Voiceovers were a bit unnecessary I thought, but kept the interest throughout.
