Bonus reviews this week of The Fire Inside, a punchy boxing biopic of Claressa ‘T. Rex’ Shields, the real-life underdog fighter who became the first woman to win an Olympic gold in the sport for the USA—and Bring Them Down, a tough rural drama of old wounds and farming feuds in the West of Ireland, starring Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott.
And, this just in—One Frame Back this week is all about newsdesk dramas. We hear your favourite films to deal with all things print & broadcast from newsroom romances to tense procedurals. Which movie will grab the headline? More on that story later. Meanwhile we’ll be bringing you the highlights of the weekend’s TV movies on the Watchlist—and don’t miss a classic bit of Deer Hunter bashing on the Notlist too.
Our ongoing search for the world’s worst drivers continues in your correspondence, taking us to the faraway land of.... Croydon??? Plus questions schmestions on awards snubs for horror movies, interview walkouts, and who deserves a biopic.
