Goodbye Baz: how stars celebrated the life of Barry Cryer
Friends, fans and family of Barry Cryer gathered in London's West End last night to remember the great gagsmith at a star-studded memorial gig.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 14th June 2022Film review: Military Wives
Lightning fails to strike twice for Peter Cattaneo, Oscar-nominated director of The Full Monty, with another heart-warming comedy drama of community spirit in the face of adversity.
Damon Smith, The National (Scotland), 10th March 2020Military Wives review
I cried so much during Military Wives - to put it in resolutely British terms, a light drizzle turned into a cloudburst and then a solid, steady downpour - I should probably now come with a flood warning.
Sarah Cartland, Caution Spoilers, 9th March 2020Military Wives review
This crowd-pleasing comedy drama from the director of The Full Monty hits all the right notes.
Mark Kermode, The Observer, 8th March 2020Military Wives: one of the must-see films of the year
The film year is not quite the same as the calendar year, effectively running from one Oscar ceremony - this year's was in early February - to the next, with most of the hot contenders for awards glory all arriving in a slightly undignified rush in the last three months.
Matthew Bond, Daily Mail, 7th March 2020Military Wives review
No surprises, but this feel-good tear-jerker is a crowd-pleaser.
David Sexton, Evening Standard, 6th March 2020Military Wives review
Left back at base while their partners are away on a tour in Afghanistan, a group of women cheer themselves up by forming a choir. A borderline disastrous enterprise at first, they gradually improve and find themselves becoming a media sensation.
Liz Beardsworth, Empire, 4th March 2020Military Wives review
Feel-good underdog story hits all the expected notes.
Clarsse Loughrey, The Independent, 3rd March 2020Military Wives, review
Heartstrings tugged in treacly choir comedy.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 25th February 2020Last Christmas: review
There were fine performances from Henry Golding and Emma Thompson (co-writer) as Kate's Yugoslavian mother. She delivered some of the best lines and was a wonderful breath of fresh air and vibrancy to the film. A disappointment and a big one at that was the relationship between Kate and Tom.
