The Duke 93.8%
Film

The Duke retells a long-forgotten moment from modern British history when, in 1961, an irritating bolshie know-it-all from Newcastle called Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent) stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery which was worth £140,000. This is a warm-hearted film which is funny and unexpectedly touching, too.

There Is No Evil 73.6%
Film

Four stories from contemporary Iran, all linked by the theme of capital punishment and suppression of freedoms, make up this Berlin Golden Bear-winning drama from Mohammad Rasoulof. There is great technique in the storytelling, and Rasoulof’s outrage at the state-sanctioned murder gives the film passion.

Spencer 48.6%
Film

This intense, bold film plays out over three days at Christmas, ten years after Charles had married Di and on the cusp of their split. They can barely look at each other and Di’s behaviour spirals to near-madness. Kristen Stewart’s remarkable performance makes this a “fable of true tragedy”.
