The Hunt at #lff - thought provoking piece - couldn’t sleep reliving the drama. Thomas Vinterberg triumph. Mads Mikkelsen very moving.Go see

#TheSapphires is predictable and fluffy but fun. A nice, warm start to a cold Sunday. #LFF

#TheSapphires: Familiar but delightful Australia crowd-pleaser about a 60s girl singing group. Funny, touching, toe-tapping. Love it. #LFF

Charlotte Rampling isn’t first pick for a delusional dreamer, but directed by son Barnaby Southcombe in I Anna she packs a killer punch #LFF

REALITY really takes flight during the hilarious but brief moments it equates the hopes of reality TV contestants with religious fervour.

West of Memphis was outstanding. Absorbing and compelling doc about justice gone wrong. (I may have cried a little at the end.) #lff

West Memphis 3 doc was very good. Focuses on how they were freed and the emergence of a new suspect. Some amazing characters. #lff

#RustandBone is almost too painful to watch (too much for one poor person at #LFF today) but visceral, gripping & hugely affecting.

Rust and Bone verdict: Another cracker from Audiard, fast becoming one most reliable directors around. 5 Stars #LFF

West of Memphis is a fascinating look at the US justice system. Long, but engrossing. #LFF

sacrificed the sunday lie-in to see #thesapphires @bfi #lff this morning - was worth it though as @bigboyler is a true gem!

Beautifully filmed, Jeremy Teicher’s Tall As The Baobab Tree questions the awkward balance of African tradition and youthful education. #LFF

Hosoda’s Wolf Children = phenomenal. Why aren’t more people talking about this? Pure delight from frame one & emotionally devastating. #LFF

Hey I kinda loved The We and the I. It’s exuberant and truthful and I want the soundtrack. Very nice. #lff

Grassroots was superb and the kind of film I love #LFF for. Superb cast too. Having the best day!!

I thought IN THE HOUSE was Ozon’s best film in years. It’s so witty and tightly constructed. #LFF
