'THE TRAVELLERS'

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

On to the comps - and kicking off today is our giveaway for 'The Travellers', a poignant, funny and heartwarming family story from acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Beresford. Stephen Seary, a charismatic and successful stage designer, returns to his small hometown in Australia to say goodbye to his dying mother. What was to be a quick trip descends into chaos, drama, and at times downright funny moments as Stephen navigates family responsibilities, a difficult relationship with his father, old friends and past lovers, all while trying to return to Europe for a major opera contract. To win one of five double passes to see 'The Travellers' in cinemas, click here now.
'BILLY ELLIOT'

TOP MARKS FOR THE TEEN COMEDY.

'Billy Elliot' first hit cinemas 25 years ago, and even now, it still connects with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. It's a lot of kids' first "it's okay to be different" narrative - and that's why it still has an impact. Click here to stand on pointe and relive the best of 'Billy Elliot' in Chris' retrospective review.
'SE7EN'

A DARK MASTERPIECE.

30 years on, David Fincher's thriller 'Se7en' sees few films as dark as it, but also few as intoxicating, making it one of the greatest American films and a cinematic icon. It's a gothic American nightmare that holds you in a vice-like grip and never lets you go, even as the discombobulating credits roll. It's an absolutely perfect creation. To send a shiver down your spine as you experience 'Se7en' with Daniel, click here now.
While you're visiting the website, there are also some great films out now in cinemas and on digital, so check out all of our reviews below - and if you've seen any of them, we'd love to hear your thoughts on our Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
