By Miv Evans When the Pickpocket comes on screen, it’s a case of instant intimacy, which is a rare cinematic experience. The genre is described as a crime drama thriller but, on this occasion, thrills are replaced by a lovable rogue’s unwieldy charm. It’s a spellbinding experience and, despite some plot holes and extraneous detours, no one will be switching this guy off. THE STORY Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is a quintessential New Yorker.

By Miv Evans This is an utterly compelling biopic about a young boy who developed Tourette’s syndrome before anyone knew what it was. It’s a film that has a lot to say, among which is that joy can be found, even in the darkest of places. But it also doesn’t deny, on this occasion, joy did a spectacular job of hiding itself. THE STORY Young John Davidson (Scott Ellis Watson) lives with his parents (David & Heather/Steven Cree & Shirley Henderson) and three sisters in 1970s Scotland.
