‘Shell’ was an achingly beautiful,sensitive & complete film with a tough theme..Joe Mawle & cast shone last night at the @bfi #LFF screening

Given that it appears to revolve around a fairly cute dog, I should enjoy Seven Psychopaths. However, dubious. #LFF

Argo: Well written and directed but doesn’t live up to its Oscar hype. Surefire crowd pleaser tho, Affleck remains a surprising talent! #lff

It’s films like Starlet that just make it all worth it… #LFF

Argo was ace! By the numbers spy thriller, but bags of period detail, loads of laughs, Bryan Cranston tears it up. Recommend. #LFF

Joyful moment when the audience broke into applause at a key plot point. Baffleck got talentz. #lff #Argo

#Argo is proof that Hollywood can still produce a film that will knock the living daylights out of you. #LFF

Tense, daring & exciting, it’s a dazzling mix of history, espionage, politics & satire. Affleck’s most accomplished work to date. #Argo #LFF

Argo, another brilliant film, a tense spy drama with slices of Hollywood humour and excitement. Great Hollywood Story done brilliantly #lff

Joy of #LFF is refreshing your memory about film you’re about to see and being reminded it’s the one with John Simm and Shirley Henderson

Well done #LFF - Vinterberg’s ‘The Hunt’ was a heart-in-mouth tale that won’t leave my head. Oh the injustice. Oh the mass hysteria. Ace.

Blancanieves. Wow! The best b&w silent retelling of Snow White set against a backdrop of 1930s bullfighting yet. #LFF

SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS: McDonagh presents gangsters as children, is spiritual heir to Tarantino’s early promise. Bloody, ungainly, hilarious #LFF

The Reluctant Fundamentalist was much better than I expected. Well constructed, interesting and with an great turn from Riz Ahmed. #LFF

It Was the Son: wonderfully humane, funny, moving. So stylish too. First#LFF film I’d recommend to everybody this year. Rare Italian gem.

Atomic age is like a teenage Voyage au bout de l’ennui. Absolutely wonderful, I’ve adored it, one of the best of the year #LFF

THE SAPPHIRES is great fun! It’s already done big things in Australia, don’t be surprised if it makes a huge splash in the US & UK! #LFF

Just seen “Compliance” - perhaps the most controversial film in the current London Film Festival - a disturbing but recommended watch. #LFF
