Film review: The Little Mermaid - Diamond edition

Can you believe that The Little Mermaid is now almost 25 years old… It seems yesterday when it came out. At the time, I was old enough to find it really sweet and memorable but now that I have a 7 year old son I watched it back and thought it can be a bit scary too. Well, having said that it is an amazing storytelling by Disney which we did not include in our list of the Best Family Films…

Film review: WADJDA (out in cinemas on 19 July 2013)

On 19 July 2013 the film WADJDA will be released in UK cinemas. WADJDA is a film from the incredible writer & director Haifaa Al-Mansour – the first female filmmaker from Saudi Arabia. Her film was also the first to be shot entirely in Saudi Arabia. I was very impressed with the fact that such controversial topic – women in the Arabic culture – was not censored by the…
