Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, review
A worthy sequel and a sad indictment of our idiotic times.
Helen O'Hara, i Newspaper, 21st October 2020Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - review
British sitcoms face particular challenges when they attempt the big screen, since the charm of our comedy is that it tends to be small scale, low-budget and full of interestingly unglamorous people. Ab Fab largely escapes that parochial feel thanks to its implausibly wealthy fashion setting, yet this chaotic stumble onto the big screen somehow still comes close to disaster.

Bad taste can be hilarious, shaking a laugh from even the most reserved, and opening minds to new worlds. But there are also tastes so bad they just make you retch. That's Grimsby, a feature-length version of gross-out joke The Aristocrats that puts all its emphasis on shock and none on genuine provocation.

Michael Winterbottom's look at the life of Paul Raymond, with Steve Coogan starring, ran into a hitch a few months ago when another film with the same title was announced. But now it has a new title, The Look Of Love, and a new poster, and we have them exclusively here.
