Motherland: Last Christmas review

Ultimately this mismatched bunch, acquainted only through an accident of their children's shared schooling, realise that they actually have a valuable friendship after all. What a nice surprise that a warming sentiment can push through all Motherland's delicious cynicism.

The Duke review

The latest entry in the 'truth is stranger than fiction' genre is The Duke - the final feature from versatile director, the late Roger Michell. This is the story of the improbably named Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), an irascible campaigner for pensioners' rights, women's suffrage and, in his spare time, a would-be playwright. Quite why his script The Adventures Of Susan Christ never found an audience is anybody's guess.
