Underwhelmed and ever so slightly disappointed by ‘The Hunt’. Pails in comparison to the mighty ‘Festen’. #LFF ow.ly/eoj3k

Feeling a bit disoriented after seeing Helter Skelter last night. Great film though #LFF

#LFF first junket down: Melvil Poupaud & Suzanne Clement for transgender love epic Lawrence Anyways =ace soundtrack & fascinating hairstyles

@bfi An enjoyable start to #LFF with Kim Jee-woon & Yim Pil-sung’s faintly ludicrous, deeply amusing anthology Doomsday Book
— Josh (@jolulism) October 11, 2012
Debut director Jake Schreier turns in a cracking script and a sparkling performance from Frank Langella for surefire #LFF hit Robot & Frank.

Is any1 else seeing the world in black&white, stopmotion people with exaggerated features & animals with smiles after @bfi last night?

Finally made it to @ldnfilmmuseum…great space. Loved the old lights/equipment standing about in corners: consider or ignore, as you wish!

Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt is an atomic explosion in small town Denmark with Mads Mikkelsen as the heart wrenching bomb. #LFF

@bfi Oh #LFF how I <3 you. And my press pass too. Love this time of year!

Just the one #LFF film today - LORE - but I have been waiting a fair while for Cate Shortland to follow up on the promise of SOMERSAULT.

Highly recommend Doomsday Book at #lff.Very Korean takes on zombies, a robot reaching Buddhist enlighten and the best asteroid for ages.

Wolf Children - Surprisingly complex and affecting kids’ fable. A smart, resonant piece of filmmaking, full of great character details. #LFF

Memories Look at Me, a simple honest unfolding of ageing, memory, loss and life. Quietly affecting. #LFF

Garrone’s Reality was about as subtle as a brick in the face, nevertheless much to admire - faith/depression/celebrity etc #lff
— Chris Blohm (@chrisblohm) October 11, 2012
Really enjoyed Reality, bleak but brilliant…Would be interesting to hear if non-Italian audiences get as much from it though #LFF

Free Angela Davis & All Political Prisoners was really interesting- the director definitely caught the mood of the time #bfi #lff

‘Lore’ is devastatingly affective, set deep in the countryside of post-WW2 Germany, less brutal yet still very real & now ingrained. #lff
— Dan B(@danbullock) October 11, 2012
LORE: Downbeat and plodding drama occasionally alleviated by Shortland’s poetic hand; but the lead isn’t sharp enough to be the filter #LFF
— David (@randomfurlong) October 11, 2012
#LFF DOOMSDAY BOOK Entertaining, ambitious, apocalyptic anthology film, but middle semi-philosophical entry at odds with two goofy ones.
— Rory Steele (@rorysteele) October 11, 2012
Room 237 is a set of utterly barmy readings of The Shining but is no less enjoyable for that. Wittily put together with good archive #LFF
— Keith Knight (@keithjknight) October 11, 2012
Excitedly waiting in the Vue Leicester Square to see Laurence Anyways at #lff
— Fleur Nixon (@TheWickedHobbit) October 11, 2012
The Hunt - tense drama wuth an assured performance from Mads Mikklesen. Recommend #LFF
— Iain Boulton (@geekplanetiain) October 11, 2012
Mentally drained after watching The Hunt, part of @bfi’s London Film Festival. Disturbing, heartbreaking brilliance #LFF
— Janet Awe (@AwesomeComms) October 11, 2012
Hats off to all involved with Broken another highlight for #LFF and it’s produced by @bfi which seems only right.
— Alex Moss (@AlexanderJMoss) October 11, 2012
Broken starring Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy is the closest thing to a 5 star movie I’ve seen all year. Loved it #LFF
— Daniel Ashtiany (@DanielAshtiany) October 11, 2012
Just watched The hunt at #lff Totally gripping from start to finish. Go watch it.

LFF has BEGUN! Get your tickets folks. Lots of good stuff there. I need to see Beasts of the Southern Wild and Amour!!!

My #LFF got off to a shaky start with Doomsday Book, three short sci-fi films touching on extinction. 1 good, 1 OK, 1 frustrating misfire.
— John Warrender (@johnwarrender) October 11, 2012
Just watched The Hunt at the @bfi LFF. Powerful performances and direction makes this a must see.
