This morning is about watching Argo and marvelling at the continued reinvention of Ben Affleck #LFF

Comliance #lff. Though set in a fast food establishment absolutely no waste. Taut and thought-provoking

Excellent work from The Sessions last night to raise the bar. Now it’s up to Argo to take the roof off. Come on, Ben. You can do it! #lff

Argo has got me out of bed quicker than anything has in a long time. #lff

Just saw #Argo at #LFF impeccably directed by Ben Affleck, who also stars. It has the worst haircuts & best lines in festival #recommended

ARGO was fantastic. Brilliantly told & performed in equal measure. Affleck is a true directing talent. #LFF

#Argo has to be best in festival.Simply awesome. #LFF

Saw Kelly + Victor at #LFF last night. A beautifully crafted film directed by Kieran Evans, based on a brilliant book by Niall Griffiths.

ARGO has heist movie swagger and belated thrills. Affleck fancies himself as The Quiet American Hero. Oscar talk says more about Oscar. #LFF

mexican school-bullying drama AFTER LUCIA builds like a horror & lost all credibility toward end. very OTT! so limited emotional impact #lff

The Sessions - Needless to say it’s an incredible performance by Hawkes but it has so much depth that it becomes something way bigger #LFF

In Another Country by Hong Sansgoo is laugh out loud funny. Isabelle Huppert delivers in comedy of cultural differences, love and lies #lff

Really loved #Argo, had even hardened uk film critics laughing and on the edge of their seats first thing this morning #LFF

White Elephant: Argentine slumdog priest drama reminds us that if you want to to make a difference in a nasty situation, it’ll cost you #LFF

Loved SIMON KILLER. Seedy, stylish, funny, dark and a superb performance from Brady Corbett. #LFF
— Jonathan Hatfull (@JonathanHatfull) October 17, 2012
Simon Killer. A deeply unsettling character study of a sociopath. Straight away one of my festival favourites. #LFF
— FilmScrapbook (@FilmScrapbook) October 17, 2012
Happy New Year, Grandma! - A sly comedy that remains compelling as it pulls off some surprisingly dark twists. Terrific performances. #LFF

Blown away by #fillthevoid. Intense, complex, powerful, emotive. Need to see it again asap. Kudos to @clarestewartbfi for picking it. #lff

Just watched stunning, powerful and beautiful documentary Canned Dreams. I’ll never look at a tin of ravioli the same way again #LFF
— Tim Hodges (@TimPHodges) October 17, 2012
Just went to see SIMON KILLER as part of London film festival. Can’t seem to shake it! Amazing film #LFF

Ira Sachs’s KEEP THE LIGHTS ON is a gorgeous and very subtle playing out of a ten-year love affair between two men #lff
— Nick James (@filmnickjames) October 17, 2012
The We and the I - vaguely humourousand well intentioned, undermined by being about 7 hours long. #LFF
— Judith Allen (@jaaed01) October 17, 2012
Michel Gondry ‘The We and the I’ is probably one of my fave films at #LFF set on a bus in Da Bronx.
— Florah Uddin (@FlorahUddin) October 17, 2012
Affleck’s real triumph with ARGO is in the way he ensures the tonal shifts don’t jar. The direction is confident and accomplished. #LFF
— Craig Williams (@craigfilm) October 17, 2012
Argo is brilliant. A fantastic, audacious ‘true’ story. A funny, squeaky-bum thriller. Ben Affleck directs, stars and has a good beard #LFF
— Mark Porter (@markporter77) October 17, 2012
John Goodman’s angry response when asked why he did Argo; “I was led to believe I would meet Matt Damon” #LFF
— Seymour Goldfarb, Jr (@Beggar_So) October 17, 2012
My London Film Festival: “Rust and Bone” which I have totally fallen in love with and “Argo” - a great American film, thanks @bfi ! #LFF
— Russell Dean (@rdean01be) October 17, 2012
Spanish thriller The Body is absolutely superb. If you like Hitchcock and Poirot you will LOVE it. #lff
