Gwen is an effective and daunting horror that engulfs its audience with perfect production design and cinematography that throw you into the eerie and frightening Welsh highlands.
Peterloo is a righteously angry film still mad at the widespread injustices that denied the less fortunate their basic human rights, almost two centuries later.
Funny Cow is one of the most harmful depictions of the British working class in popular culture since Sacha Baron Cohen’s Grimsby, in addition to being one of the most mindbogglingly racist and homophobic films in recent memory.
The Falling, the first drama feature by critically acclaimed director Carol Morley, went largely unnoticed on its general release. Despite collecting high praise from the critics, and starring Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams in the lead role, The Falling was almost a blink-and-you-miss-it situation. This seems absolutely tragic, as I would have no reservations in rating it as my favourite film of 2015.
