Sean Capel, Journalist

Reviews / Film & TV
Rams
"Rams is certainly niche, with subtle humour and slow pacing, though beautiful to look at with its Icelandic landscape."
Reviews / Film & TV
Truman
"For the most part this is a humorous and affecting film about life, death, friendship and family."
Reviews / Film & TV
Eye In The Sky
"What makes this work so well is the focused approach to the subject. It is a riveting, insightful and challenging film."
Reviews / Film & TV
The Witch
"Impressive also is the restraint: the slow-burn pace, chilling use of silence, foreboding ambiguity and lack of cheap jump-scares..."
Reviews / Film & TV
10 Cloverfield Lane
"An engagingly intimate group of characters, thrilling situations and fine exploration of the tagline: 'Monsters come in many forms'."
Reviews / Film & TV
Triple 9
"At least there is Michael K Williams crossdressing."
Reviews / Film & TV
Gods Of Egypt
"...will make audiences want to pull out their eyes and yearn for more practical elements."
Reviews / Film & TV
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi
"There's entertainment in the big gunfights and explosions but it lacks resonance, clarity and originality."
Reviews / Film & TV
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
"It's imperfect entertainment, not the best of either genre, but better than expected."
Reviews / Film & TV
Concussion
"Though the facts are presented, there's a lack of closure that leaves you with a sense of dread."
Reviews / Film & TV
Steve Jobs
"The centrepiece is Michael Fassbender's powerhouse performance. He creates a daring vision of Jobs' genius and his deep personal imperfections."
Reviews / Film & TV
Room
"The beautiful relationship between a mother and son within the confines of a traumatic situation is completely mesmerising."
