film reviews:
Dear Evan Hansen (12A)
A touching and tender drama that's a decent musical too no less.

Part autobiography, part self-help book, it's a curious mix that doesn't quite work.
Coal Black Mornings by Brett Anderson
Suede's front man beautifully recalls his life leading up to Britpop-dom.
Parsnips, Buttered by Joe Lycett
How to complain with style and panache.
Gironimo! by Tim Moore
Not quite nul points for otherwise brilliant travel humourist Moore's latest labour of love.
Who Is Tom Ditto? by Danny Wallace
