Critics' Choice

Fay Maschler

With a single dessert and just two glasses of wine our bill was kept in check - but the effort of doing so was not much fun

Andrew O'Hagan

This is a film with beautiful performances and a visual style that urges you towards reflection

Henry Hitchings

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

Reader reviews

Squiz, Islington

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.

I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.

I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Spanish local: El Pirata is hidden away on Down Street, Mayfair

Charles Campion tracks down the best places in London to eat croquetas.

El Pirata
5-6 Down Street, W1

Given its very Mayfair style and tucked-away location, El Pirata is often overlooked. A loyal clientele enjoy good tapas including different croquetas. Friendly service. £20pp ex-drinks (020 7491 3810).

Barrafina
54 Frith Street, W1

Crowded (what do you expect with 23 seats and no booking) but wildly successful tapas bar. Good tortillas, good fresh fish, good croquetas - just add a cold beer. £25pp ex-drinks (020 7813 8016).

Salt Yard
54 Goodge Street, W1

Why are croquetas confined to Spanish menus? Small, savoury rissoles usually made with cheese, here there are sometimes croquetas made with black pudding. £15pp ex-drinks (020 7637 0657).
