Dallas Buyers Club | The Invisible Woman | RoboCop | Mr Peabody & Sherman | The Patrol | Lift To The Scaffold
Dallas Buyers Club (15)
(Jean-Marc Vallée, 2013, Us) Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto, Denis O'Hare, Steve Zahn. 117 mins
What McConaughey loses in body mass he gains in compassion in this drawn-from-real-life drama, which cleverly disguises its awards-friendliness beneath thespian commitment and non-issue-movie storytelling. Diagnosed with Aids in 1980s Texas, McConaughey's rodeo-loving electrician takes matters into his own hands and devises his own grey-market treatment programme for the ravaged gay community (in partnership with Leto's lovable transgender cohort, Rayon). The authorities don't approve; the Academy probably will.
The Invisible Woman (12A)
(Ralph Fiennes, 2013, UK) Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones, Kristin Scott-Thomas. 111 mins
Working to Claire Tomalin's biography, Fiennes gives us a tale of two Dickenses: the charismatic literary celebrity and the self-absorbed love rat. But the passion of his secret affair with Jones's teenage actor is smothered by repression,...

Director Tom Petch's debut is a thoughtful war movie about a British army patrol in Afghanistan
First-time British writer-director Tom Petch makes a powerful impression with this tough, smart war movie on a shrewdly managed small scale, about a British army patrol in Afghanistan. A small unit is deployed for what everyone hopes will be just three days in dangerous country, but a surprise night-time attack from the Allies – perhaps the Americans or even the British Sas – provokes new activity from the Taliban. Simply by virtue of its position, the unit finds itself open-endedly committed as part of a horribly dangerous and exposed frontline mission unfortunately named Operation Icarus. The men become increasingly demoralised and insubordinate. Owain Arthur is lippy Welshman Taff, Nicholas Beveney is the brooding Sol, Nav Sidhu is grumpy Smudge and Ben Righton is their well-spoken Captain Richardson, who makes a crucially misjudged decision to go...

The 3rd edition of the London Indian Film Festival (June 20 – July 3) features World Premieres of two provocative British films, Tooting Broadway (June 22) and Arjun & Alison (June 30) with the entire cast and crew of both films attending.
Tooting Broadway is a racy urban flick about Tamil and Caribbean gang rivalries set in South London and the conflicts within the central character torn between his loyalty to his increasingly dangerous mates and the need to escape to a better life. The fast paced story features a star-making turn from Elizabeth Henstridge, Britain’s latest export to Hollywood.
Director Devanand Shanmugam says: “Tooting Broadway was born when Producer Joshua Clement pitched his idea to me over one of our creative brainstorming meetings. He suggested that we make a film about the Tamils living in the UK, which is connected to our Tamil backgrounds and it was a good idea because no British or...
