What our reviewer said \u201cTelevision for grownups, television to pay attention to and to entertain you enormously.\u201d Lucy Mangan<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cYou half-expect a young Al Pacino to walk into shot.\u201d Jack Seale<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cA sure-footed and completely bingeable thriller with an edge of unpredictability that holds you doubly fast to your seat.\u201d Lucy Mangan<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cIt\u2019s a poignant and poetic urban pastoral about young masculinity, Muslim and south Asian communities, and the seedy and insidious new petty harassment of racial profiling and facial recognition tech.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day, like all MCU movies, always gravitates towards apocalyptic but weirdly temporary destruction in the digitally confected big city. It\u2019s an entertaining spectacle.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cIn our modern age, the movie and music businesses routinely consider China as the key element of the all-important Asian market, but in 1985, Michael and Ridgeley were the Kirk and Spock of the charts, going where no pop act had gone before.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cIt is brilliant and audacious, with one of the most extraordinary final sequences in modern cinema, and all in a manner which Hollywood in the succeeding decade would learn to call \u201chigh concept\u201d. Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThere is something very melancholy in the shots of the gaunt tenements, uncool denims and boxy Trabants on the gritty streets of Berlin\u2019s Prenzlauer Berg.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cGaining Ground is a wonderful slow burn of a book and Barfoot\u2019s originality and control remain exciting, nearly half a century on.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cOne delight of his capacious, looping narrative is the room it leaves for delightful cameos by remarkable individuals, including several women.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cHis brief flirtation was not with socialism so much as with a socialist: the dazzling, unattainable Lea Barba. Their comradeship unfolded between bookshops and the smoky tables of a bohemian nightclub owned by her communist father.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cFaye gives face and voice to the human capacity for endurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThe cultural obsession with the AI-induced apocalypse conveniently redirects attention from the practical conversations we could be having about how to make AI safer.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThe novel is outstandingly canny and wrenching on self-contempt, on the toilsome art of deceit, and on the contradictions we all contain.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cBeneath the Hollywood narrators, Pink Floyd-y interludes and accompanying comic books lies songwriting that proves the Tipsy singer\u2019s breakout success was no fluke.\u201d Alexis Petridis<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThe resulting album is one of Arca\u2019s densest and best: music for the body and brain that is unrelenting and unerringly brilliant.\u201d Shaad D\u2019Souza<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cAt no point does the genre- and timeline-hopping feel jarring. In fact, it\u2019s what makes the compilation special.\u201d Safi Bugel<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cFew have made a more significant contribution to the fields of contemporary, improvised and experimental music than John Tilbury.\u201d Clive Paget<\/p>\n
