Pavee Lackeen
Imitation of life: Pavee Lackeen, the film about a family of Irish travellers, is an earnest, naturalistic attempt to bring attention to the suffering of this historically marginalised group. But does all this untarnished naturalism translates into realism? Antonio Pasolini reviews the film

It has to be one of the daftest pitches in history - an action thriller set entirely within the confines of a New York phone box, directed by high-concept king Joel Schumacher. It may not be a masterpiece, but Bob Carroll enjoyed it - in a B-movie kind of way
