The Carrier – RDFF review Sian Brett October 5, 2015 Reviews High voltage action from The Carrier will have you on the edge of your seat, and - even more impressively - it does so with a tiny budget. Without the luxury of big visuals and big effects, the same level...
Meet Pursuit Delange – RDFF review Sian Brett October 5, 2015 Reviews Seemingly attempting to be Withnail & I, Meet Pursuit Delange joins together several genres, and even more plots in its strange attempt to be funny. The jokes are terribly outdated, with race, sexuality...
Happy 140 – RDFF review Sian Brett October 4, 2015 Reviews Strong performances from the entire cast make Happy 140 the intense character driven drama that it is. A bit twee at times, the falling apart of a friendship when money is thrown into the mix could have been...
