“This film does what all the best sports documentaries do: find the human story, the deeper psychology behind the sporting glory”

Hill, Sky Documentaries

“For F1 fans, the race footage was gripping, while the candid shots of drivers and mechanics behind the scenes were revealing. But if you cared nothing about motor-racing, Hill was no less fascinating as a study in father-son psychology.”
Christopher Stevens, The Daily Mail

“When his wife, Georgie, says, right near the start, ‘He was one of the saddest people I’ve met in my life’, it’s clear this is going to be a film that does what all the best sports documentaries do: find the human story, the deeper psychology behind the sporting glory.”
James Jackson, The Times

The Sandman, Netflix

“The Sandman isn’t for everyone. This is hardcore geek material – portentous, pretentious and not big on humour. If you enjoy a good cosy crime binge watch then avoid.”
Ed Power, The Telegraph

“The Sandman is not short of ideas, but it smothers them all in a fug of pretension, missing every opportunity it creates for itself.”
Jack Seale, The Guardian

Mary Earps: Queen of Stops, BBC1

“It does feel like a documentary made for an England Euros campaign with Earps in the squad. Nevertheless, it channels her ambition, drive and amazing achievements into a pleasant hour that should spark memories, or premonitions, of the tensions to come over the next few weeks.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian

“While there is no doubt about either her talent or her determination, the film nonetheless has the fluffy aura of a puff piece.”
Ed Power, The i
