Perfect Timing
[1 clip]

Paul Boretski

Michele Scarabelli

For a long time it seemed like all the good Canadian actors had headed south of the border and (I guessed) all the second rank ones filled the top slots and that left the dregs for the sex comedies.

The Principles of Lust
[1 clip]

Alec Newman

At last, a British movie with a degree of ambition, even if the ambition remains unfulfilled by the film’s fade-out.

Clive Owen

Saskia Reeves
