Boston Ben ships up back home for a blue-collar, less grand 'Heat'. It's good, occasionally better than good, but it never fully grips, lacking some secret sauce.

A unique vision created from a mix of realisms: social, poetic, magic. Or maybe a cocktail of Loach, Davies, with a dash of Fellini. Ramsay's remarkable debut feature arrived three years after she left the National Film & Television School. I was a fellow student there at the same time. And now? She's one of the most admired directors in world cinema. Meanwhile, I'm writing sketchy social media posts.

Unsubtle, yet smart. Garish, yet beautiful. Fucked-up, yet hugely entertaining. Influences all clearly on show - Cronenberg, Yuzna, Kubrick - but very much Fargeat’s own vision (following up her superb, blood-drenched debut ‘Revenge’). Does it ultimately descend into a mess? Yep, but let’s celebrate what’s great about it, which undoubtedly includes Demi. Her getting ready for a date scene (no gore, no body horror) is just heartbreaking.

An imagined, recently rediscovered, 1971 release, complete (here in the UK) with its BBFC 'AA' certification signed by departing secretary John Trevelyan. Can't wait afor the inevitable rep cinema triple bill with 'Harold and Maude' and 'Five Easy Pieces'. Beautifully made and performed, it's very funny and deeply moving. Welcome back, Alexander Payne - it's been too long.
