Film review: How To Build A Girl, Amazon Prime
Channel 4 decided to stop making Caitlin Moran's semi-autobiographical sitcom Raised By Wolves after two series, but maybe if they had carried on it might have turned out something like this.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th July 202012 Days of Christmas Specials 9: Upstart Crow specials
What could be more Christmassy than a couple of feature-length Upstart Crow specials starring Emma Thompson, and also, (independently I might add) Kenneth Brannagh? I'll tell you: Nothing!
Rhianna Evans, The Comedy Blog, 22nd December 2019Last Christmas is the perfect Brexit festive movie
Thank you, Last Christmas, for showing us who we are, and for allowing us to laugh at ourselves. Whether you meant to or not.
Hadley Freeman, The Guardian, 7th December 2019Why is the terrible Last Christmas box office gold?

Dylan B Jones, The Guardian, 21st November 2019Last Christmas: review

Emilia Clarke shines brightly in this twinkly London rom-com.
BBC, 16th November 2019Emilia Clarke and Emma Thompson on Last Christmas
One thing we definitely aren't going to do in this article is give away any spoilers about Last Christmas. Apart from anything else, we're quite scared of Dame Emma Thompson.
Steven McIntosh, BBC, 14th November 2019Last Christmas review
Whilst George Michael's music isn't incorporated as effectively as one might wish, Emma Thompson and co-writer Bryony Kimmings take inspiration from the titular song for arguably the most telegraphed ending you'll see all year. Still, the 'good will to all' theme ensures that Last Christmas, for all its syrupy stylings, has its heart in the right place.
