December 2021 Last Night In Soho (18) Edgar Wright’s latest film combines a wonderfully vivid depiction of swinging sixties London, a compelling cold case whodunnit and eerie (and be warned, bloody) psychological horror to great effect.

Spencer (12A)

Forget all previous screen portrayals of Princess Diana; Kristin Stewart’s uncanny performance has to be seen to believed and is unlikely to ever be bettered. She completely inhabits the character from the inside out, revealing the anguish of her broken marriage, her unhappiness with her place in the royal family and her allencompassing love for her children.

Quant (12A)

Travel back to the 60’s with this revealing and entertaining celebration of the incredible life of one of the most influential icons of the 20th century, fashion designer Dame Mary Quant.
