Signs of Life (2025)
Potts is like a version of Audrey Tautou’s Amelie that has seen more to cause her pain than wonder. The narrative places her in real and potential danger, and even at the end we’re not quite sure if she’s in the clear, but this is a film that punctuates even its darker moments with unexpected comedy. In some points you won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but this is a film that quietly earns both responses. The Movie Waffler. Eric Hillis. Q&A with Joseph Millson, Director and Elliot Millson, Cinematographer
Amadeus (1984)
4k Restoration. It still soars, but now it seems richer, more expansive. Amadeus reminds us that movies can be lyrical as well as vulgar, ambitious as well as playful, brilliant as well as down and dirty – just like Amadeus himself. Chicago Tribune. Michael Wilmington

Nuremberg (2025)
Nuremberg benefits not only from a terrifying performance from Crowe in a larger-than-life role like those that defined the early part of his career, but also from the ensemble of actors. The Wrap. Michael Creith.
