National Treasure (2016 Marc Munden)

Great acting in This Is England's Jack Thorne's uncomfortably topical drama about former TV stars accused of sex crimes, starring Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters, Andrea Riseborough (Party Animals) and Tim McInnerny, who are all wonderful, but I think Andrea deserves a special mention. With Babou Ceesay (foul mouthed lawyer), Mark Lewis Jones (Stella), Graeme Hawley, Nadine Marshall (D.I.), young Cara Barton, Lucy Speed and Ruby Serkis (yes, daughter of Andy) as the babysitter.

Munden keeps his camera at a distance, further back than is usual. Also unusual is the distinctive score by Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
