13. SENTIMENTAL VALUE. Ripped my heart into a thousand pieces. What an astonishing film, such a sensitive, funny, poignant exploration of generational family trauma. Renate Reinsve may be the finest actor of her generation, but Fanning & Skarsgard both fantastic too. Just stunning. 5/5 #LIFF2025

12. IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU. A tour de force from Rose Byrne, filled with anxiety, rage and an indefatigable humour, elevates this messy, surreal drama about an isolated mother spiralling out of control, but it's a frustating film with an ending that totally pulls its punches 3/5 #LIFF2025

Agree, an odd mix tonally but an enjoyable diversion

Yeah, soz, it ran out of steam for me!

11. PILLION. The horniest, queerest, kinkiest thing I have seen in forever. BDSM as hell but also kooky, warm and so suburban and English. I cannot believe this is a debut feature. So many scenes took my breath away. An instant queer classic, thank god films like this are being made! 5/5 #LIFF2025

10: A POET. Riotously satirical, bleak and funny in equal measure, this character study of a complete loser - a failed poet living off past meagre success - manages to dig into the strata of Colombian class politics in a pretty astonishing fashion. A real surprise of a film. 4/5 #LIFF2025

9: IT WAS ONLY AN ACCIDENT. A deserved Palme D'or for a highlight on an already glittering career, Panahi's masterpiece - a tautly constructed morality tale on what you'd do if you could abduct the man you tortured you - and then what? Maybe the best film I've seen all year 5/5 #LIFF2025

8: NOUVELLE VAGUE. Look, I can't be objective - this film was MADE for me. What a love letter to cinema, what a joyful, funny and carefully crafted piece of work. And the CASTING. OMG, perfection. Seberg! Godard! Belmondo! And a lovely companion to BLUE MOON on the creative process 4.5/5 #LIFF2025

7: A PRIVATE LIFE. Charming middlebrow French psychodrama fluff held together by a delightful French language turn from Jodie Foster (and an equally delightful Daniel Auteuil). Classy and just about stays on the right side of daft. An enjoyable 3.5/5 #LIFF2025

You're about to find out just how true that is

I mean, that's not even fiction. It's a miracle I escaped with both fibula intact.

Ye gods that is the very village that begat me and I did in fact sing in the church choir on that solitary hill.

"Treacherous" doing some pretty heavy lifting there. And "mountain" come to think of it

Looks like it! I'm actually from a nearby town that's even worse. Goole was the bright lights when I was growing up. OK, that's a total lie, but it did have SOME lights.
