Swede Caroline review
This mockumentary about the heated world of veg growers should be awful - but it's laugh-out-loud funny.

British Comedy Guide, 29th July 2021Sweetheart - BFI Flare 2021 review
This British comedy is a very BFI festival selection and not dissimilar to Days Of The Bagnold Summer in its exploration of parental relationship and the end of childhood. Sweetheart feels a little drawn out but captures the terrifying excitement and vulnerability of first love.
