When its director, Kenneth Branagh, and star Lily James were in town last week for its press…
The early hours of Monday morning saw the culmination of this year’s movie awards season – and the end of a fiercely competitive race for the top trophies. The two front runners were Boyhood and Birdman. But who won on the night? London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, has the low-down.
After a disappointing showing at the BAFTAs earlier this month, the team behind Birdman had…

Disney’s first animation of 2015 arrives in the UK this week with something of a fanfare.
