THE CRY OF GRANUAILE 

“An entirely unique addition to the burgeoning Grace O’Malley canon.” 4/5 – The Irish Times

THE FORGIVEN 

“Anchored by a formidable lead performance from Ralph Fiennes as an acid-tongued, high-functioning alcoholic, this slow-burning morality tale cranks up tension as grief collides head-on with guilt and a nervous quest for atonement seems destined to end in abject failure.” 6.5/10 – The Herald

“Complex tale of crime, punishment and guilt.” – The Financial Times

“Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain excel as a super-wealthy married couple squabbling their way out of Tangiers in this daringly dark drama/thriller.” 4/5 – Metro

“Starring Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain, this film has been both critically admired and rounded on as a repellent display of toxic white privilege.” – The Newstatesman
