William Shaw recommends
The Square of Sevens (2023)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"This is such a glorious adventure, full of scheming and betrayal, with a delicious whiff of magic at its heart. Our hero holds only a few cards, and she must play them exactly right if she wants to survive."
You Can Run (2023)
Trevor Wood
"A tour de force. From behind the twitching curtains of a small divided village a force of unlikely ne'er do wells come together in this edgy, electrifying modern thriller. Once again Wood proves himself a brilliant champion of the underdog."
No Place to Run (2022)
Mark Edwards
"This is a belter of a story. A big screen high tension adventure."
