Wicked Little Letters review

As well-meaning and sporadically funny as it may be, Wicked Little Letters is too dated and tepid to be anything except forgettable.

Daisy Haggard's hilariously dark drama is worthy of Tarantino or the Coen brothers.

The Larkins review

I'm sure the 1950s Kent countryside was lovely but I'm willing to bet it wasn't the multicultural liberal utopia as depicted in The Larkins, what with a carousel of Black and Asian characters circling the family. Not a hint of racism in this nostalgic wonderland; I wonder what changed in the subsequent decades?

The Larkins review

The trouble is, though it rattles along at pace, it keeps veering off the path, like a wonky pram. Some of the dialogue is especially suspect.
