Katalin Varga

Impressive as it is, though, you can't help feeling it's essentially a festival favourite that will be more admired than enjoyed.

Like a folk tale crossed with a thriller and road movie. Without a doubt it is one of the best new British films of the year, if you can justly call it fully British.

Superb central performances in this tragic drama.

The film's timelessness... gives the story a mythic simplicity and power.
