About us
We go and see the best and most interesting films around.
We usually meet for a while before the film to eat or drink, chat about what's been happening, and to discuss the films we've already seen.

"Lee Chang-dong’s masterfully directed follow-up to Burning finds four strangers’ lives entwined by hidden desires and repressed emotions.
"A chance meeting introduces filmmaker Ye-ji to Mi-ok’s family, whose lives have been affected by her husband’s unemployment. They’re perfect subjects for her documentary on workers who have been made redundant, leading them to spend more time in Ye-ji and her husband’s world."
— Watershed summary"Possible Love ... unfolds with surprise and inevitability held in such perfect balance that each moment feels like it’s telling you something you’ve always known, but have just never thought of before."
★★★★★ Jessica Kiang, Variety... in its exploration of the subtler issues of class, the thorny realms of desire and freedom that most films ignore, it’s one for the ages"
★★★★★ Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine"Possible Love is as dense as our best literature, filled with rich character beats that feel of a piece with what came before and where these characters are going next. It leaves these people not with a period but an ellipsis. Some have probably been changed by this brief chapter in their lives, while others might barely remember it. You won’t forget it."

We're going to see Danny Boyle's new film Ink.
- In 1969, Rupert Murdoch acquired British tabloid The Sun, hiring Larry Lamb to change the paper’s fortunes. Out of this devil’s pact, British journalism and society were forever changed.

ABOUT THE FILM
"The music churns, the camera flies, flashes of the past and the future intrude alongside visions of events that may or may not be real. We feel the excitement of these characters, but we also sense that they’re gleefully opening the gates to hell."
★★★★★ Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine"Ink works as both a fictionalized snapshot of a lost world and a forensic exploration of what happens when you give the people what they want, instead of what they don’t know they want. It’s a movie about the beginning of an end, brought about by enterprising men who just wanted to sell papers. So thrilled by the lede they were writing, they gave zero forethought to the kicker."
★★★★★ Stephanie Zacharek, Time"Ink is Danny Boyle at his best — it feels like early Danny Boyle, propulsive, captivating, brash, profound, and controversial."
★★★★★ Andy Howell, Film Threat"Mostly it’s just a very compelling yarn, galvanized by a terrifically bullish performance from Jack O’Connell."
★★★★★ Guy Lodge, Variety8 attendees
