Welcome to our new Review Roundup! In this weekly programme, we’ll be taking a look at the latest releases and ensuring that we only suggest the best!
Another Round (M) | BOOK TICKETS
An intoxicating look at midlife-crises, Another Round is the latest superbly crafted social study from director Thomas Vinteberg (The Hunt), which reunites him with renowned Danish star, Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Hannibal, Casino Royale) in what many critics are hailing as the finest performance of his career. Nominated for Best Picture at the 2021 Golden Globes, Another Round continues to garner incredible critical acclaim (it’s also our top pick for Best Foreign Film at this year’s Academy Awards) and is our top-choice for this week.
