A gem of a movie that avoids any kind of happy ending and instead concentrates on getting its dramatic message across.
Drama
Dirty Pretty Things
Fine London-based drama-thriller that features an outstanding minority cast and illuminates the seedier side of the lives of immigrants.
Dark Blue
A well-acted and at times extremely violent thriller. It'll hold your attention, but offer little that's fresh.
Local Hero
Bill Forsyth's finest work of all, this is a perfect film. It might even give you an urge for a wee dram of whisky.
Real Women Have Curves
Outstandingly touching, funny and genuine story of women on the verge of discovering themselves. Proof that indy filmmakers can still produce cinematic gems.
Prince of Central Park
Above-average adolescent drama that may appeal to adults as well.
