The Band's Visit

"A very enjoyable film. So different. You were right, we certainly left with smiles on our faces." Keith Edwards

Into the Wild

"A moving film, well directed and filmed. At 2hr 25min, long but held our attention throughout. Can't think of any bits that should have been taken out - they all built up the complex character of the "supertramp". Excellent!" Phil & Gill Parkman

"In spite of its length, I thought this was a very poignant story, beautifully filmed - definitely needed to be seen on the big screen. Good choice." Amanda Helm

"Totally absorbing, totally gripping, total immersion. Excellent film, beautifully filmed, moving and even more poignant to see that it was based on a true story. I came to in the Queens Theatre and wondered what on Earth I was doing there." Roger Graham

Caramel

"A gentle but vivid portrayal of life in Beirut. More a ladies film or maybe my female side is undeveloped but I enjoyed it and came away feeling good, with my faith in human nature restored." Roger Graham

Jindabyne

Honeydripper

Lars and the real Girl

"A wacky but wonderful film, with good character development. Well acted and filmed. Very enjoyable (particularly now the sound level has been turned down below the threshold of pain - we oldies are not as deaf as the teenagers seem to be!!) Congratulations to the selection committee. Keep up the good work." Mr & Mrs Parkman

The Kite Runner

Persepolis
