This was the first film that I watched at the Manchester Film Festival. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but I am glad I tried something new as this heartwarming tale left me pleasantly surprised and even quite moved. It’s a good example of if you make the effort to watch…
This film surprised me a lot, as you wouldn’t expect a comedic film to work with the main theme being PTSD, a mysterious communication with a dead army friend and a fractious relationship with a grandfather. It shouldn’t hold together, but in fact it works like a charm. Merit is a US veteran who learns…
“I have low tolerance for people who bitch, but if you make an effort, I can teach you the rest.” This is what Officer Harmon (Troian Bellisario) says to her rookie on his first day on the job as a patrol officer on the streets on LA. This Amazon Prime TV Show doesn’t waste any…

This is the harrowing story of Jamie Miller. The first two episodes immerse us in the procedural details, both detectives DI…
Going to Glasgow film Festival has been an unbelievable experience. For someone who hasn’t been to a red carpet or festival before everyone was really welcoming and very helpful. The first film that I watched was REINAS and here is my review of it. REINAS (QUEENS) – I have never been a huge fan of…
“We will not be Silent”. ” Stand Up and Resist”. “Truth, Freedom and Honour”. These words are the bedrock of this morality tale that is also a true story of speaking truth to power. I didn’t know the true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, but it can’t be repeated enough so that…
Over the Shoulder was delighted and lucky to sit down with film actor, theatre performer and business entrepreneur Charlie Hamblett to discuss his experience in Harlan Coben’s, MISSING YOU Netflix series.
