Hannah Sayer writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Hannah Sayer I am in my second year of studying English Literature at Royal Holloway University of London and I’m passionate about all aspects of film, television, theatre and art. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I graduate, but writing for UK Film Review has been great for improving my writing style and I’ve been able to see some really good and interesting independent films I otherwise wouldn’t have got the chance to see. I’ve always been interested in all different genres of film and how they are made, so being a film reviewer has been perfect in getting some of my own knowledge out there from reading countless editions of Empire and Little White Lies. Some of my favourite films are Blue Valentine (2010), Rebecca (1940), American Beauty (1999), The Piano (1993) and anything directed by Christopher Nolan, David Fincher and Nicolas Winding Refn.

Watch Hollow at the 2022 UK Film Review Festival. See the UKFRF 2022 lineup and buy your festival pass. Hollow Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The main subject here is one's desire to get even. The film suggests that the idea of revenge will not bring peace, but will instead create more suffering for those who pursue it. This is not a pleasant viewing, but it is a powerful story, with strong emotions and deserves a lot of praise. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.

Connor Slatkoff Sharpe writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Connor Slatkoff Sharpe Originally from the West Coast of Canada, I have recently moved to Edinburgh in the last year. I'm 23 years old, and have a background mainly in film and theatre acting (four years of conservatory theatre training in University to make myself thoroughly unemployable). I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of a wide variety of projects as a stage and screen actor, from work with Disney to performing Shakespeare in the park in cities across Canada. I've always had a passion for writing, and as someone who is a fanatic film and TV lover, those subjects are almost always what I find myself discussing. My favourite film is without a doubt The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, closely followed by the other two films in the trilogy. Other favourites of mine include Children of Men, Se7en, Snatch, Aliens, Terminator 2 Judgment Day, Gladiator, Return of the Jedi & The Dark Knight.

Watch Cha at the 2022 UK Film Review Festival. See the UKFRF 2022 lineup and buy your festival pass. Cha Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW Thomas B. Tran and Joy Sung Kim share indelible chemistry, and their on-screen family relationship completely convinces. Tran brings a curiosity to Jiho – both surrounding his Korean heritage, and his growing awareness of racism around him. It is clear from Tran’s performance that he is torn between his respect for his grandmother and his frustration at their treatment in the world.

Student film reviews written from schoolchildren in the UK. Reviewing movies for UK Film Review. Student Film Reviews Here at UK Film Review, we like to do two things - promote the movies of filmmakers, and promote the film reviews of the people who love watching movies. This includes filmmakers from across the globe, and writers from across the UK. A hobby for some, a passion for others, film reviews can do more than just tell you whether a movie is worth seeing at the cinema. Film reviews are all about exploring the tireless efforts of a filmmaking team, who have worked, collaboratively, for months or years on a project in order to present it to an audience. Such efforts deserve us really delving into them, discussing the elements which worked for us, and those which didn't. Film reviews are also not about ignoring all other opinions. In fact, a room of 20 people all watching the same movie will more than likely have 20 different opinions about that film. Which is not to say any of them are right or wrong...after all, film reviews are just opinions! Below you will find one of our favourite Student Film Reviews which was submitted to UK Film Review for analysis.
