Rating: 4.5/5 Action, Adventure, Comedy One of many female-centred films that came out last year, The Spy Who Dumped Me is a new twist on the genre.

Rating: 3.8 Drama, Romance There is probably only one way you heard of this and that is about how critically panned this film was.

2 stars Romantic Comedy Home Again was advertised as a modern rom-com, one where a single mum, played by Reese Witherspoon, has just turned 40 and has a romantic relationship with someone who is 15 years her junior (Pico Alexander).

2.5 stars Drama, Romance, War I have to admit, I don’t think I would have watched this if it hadn’t been for a quote from the novel it’s based on. The quote is as follows, in case you were wondering, “They felt a strange happiness, an urgent need to reveal their hearts to each other

4 stars. Comedy, Drama, Romance Their Finest has one of the most interesting settings for a story I have ever heard of; the propaganda films department in England’s government during WW1. Enter newcomer Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton), who has just landed a job as a writer – the woman writing “the slop”, which means the
