Fantastic and imaginative exploration of how a young person might deal with grief. Brilliantly told by Patrick Ness and superbly realised by J.A. Bayona, this is one story that balances drama and CGI with aplomb. Incredibly moving, deftly handled and one of my favourite films of last year. Liam Neeson's gravelly voice is brilliantly put to use as the tree. It's wonderful, please watch it!

Lucy Fife Donaldson says: "Mark Wahlberg is pulled back into the smuggling business when his brother-in-law falls foul of a no-good gang, run by Giovanni Ribisi (who looks and sounds the meanest he has yet).

Huge epic, set during the heyday of Republican Rome, in all its ostentatious glory. The story details the purchase and selection of slaves, the harsh discipline and routine of the gladiators' school, the new comradeship balked by the realisation that a gladiator must kill or be killed. Then the film really comes into its own with the superbly staged revolt and escape, led by the slave who, with his unlikely army, holds the Roman army at bay for four years. Magnificent, masterful....a classic! find out more...
