Earwig: beetles about elegantly but incoherently
- Teeth made of ice? Earwig, the first English-language effort from French cult favourite Lucile Hadžihalilović (Innocence; Evolution), certainly starts off in an intriguingly oddball place. In a labyrinthine apartment in Liège, at some time in the early-to-mid 20th century, a morose scientist called Scellinc (Paul Hilton) is at work on the dentistry of young Mia (Romane Hemelaers), whose gnashers are refrozen from her own saliva and reinserted, using custom mouth-pieces, on a daily basis.

Old Boys review: Cyrano de Bergerac adaptation set in 1980s public school is sweet and satisfying
Old Boys makes this clear, even if the effect isn’t quite intentional. Old Boys, the feature debut of director Toby MacDonald who earned two Bafta nominations for his short films, sells itself as a new spin on Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac, here transferred to the corridors of a 1980s private school for boys.

BFI Flare review: Freak Show - a fantastic, feel-good and fabulous film
This year’s BFI Flare was lucky enough to host Freak Show, the 2017 teen comedy-drama starring fighting prejudice, bullies and bible belt America. Bette Midler also happens to star in it. If you need more than the phrase 'Bette Midler is in it,' here we go: Based on the novel by James St James, this is a high school tale of non-conformity, identity and simple refusal to bow to the pressures of being a boring teenage drone.
