The Program movie review: on your bike and follow the money (LFF 2015)
Pretty much strictly for fans of Ben Foster and Chris O’Dowd, who are both superb here. Probably not for fans of Lance Armstrong (if he still has any left).
Year: 2015
Where Are the Women? Crimson Peak
A fantastic example of how a film can integrate the “traditional” sides of women’s lives into wider depictions of their hopes, dreams, and deeds.
Crimson Peak movie review: humorous gruesome

So deliciously carby…
Where Are the Women? Pan
