The Critics

Telling tales out of school

Is it really about sex, race, generational hierarchies — or the changeable nature of student-teacher relationships?

Communication breakdown

Young journalists will learn nothing from this drivel

Toffs, trials and tradecraft

A bore film

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is not just ahistorical, it is dull

Defend the arts … before it’s too late

It will take more than a new government and a bonfire of policy documents to put things right

Rebus at the school of hard Knox

The tropes are popular, because they work

Without a twist

This weather-based thriller is all hot air, but who doesn’t enjoy a warm summer breeze?

A full Platée

A daring production of a daring work

The exec on an unfiltered journey

It seems dangerously liable to foster neuroticism and credulity
