The London Film Festival runs throughout October - but tickets are on sale now - I work weeks in Oxford and am too busy in October to go and see anything - but if I could, I would certainly work my way through this list that Little White Lies has put together.
Particularly interested in 'My Life as a Courgette' a stop motion animation about a children's orphanage. Not listed is La La Land which I will be very sad to have to wait until next year to see!
The jury is well and truly out as to whether this has the best or worst title in the festival line-up. What we will say is that we caught this Céline Sciamma-penned claymation at Cannes this year, and it is utterly wonderful in every way imaginable. Though it’s brightly coloured and extremely funny, it explores the lives of young children taken in to a suburban orphanage and is unflinching when it comes to discussing the reasons for them being there. This is Pixar-level great, even though there’s no way America’s finest would tackle such dangerous, politically-trenchant material. Book tickets
