Festival
James Hawes‘ Holocaust drama “One Life” will be the American Express Gala at the 67th BFI London Film Festival.
The film tells the true story of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to WWII, rescued 669 children from the Nazis. Fifty years later, in 1988, Winton is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England. It’s not until a live television show “That’s Life” surprises him with the surviving children – now adults – seated all around him that he can finally make peace with the loss he had carried for five decades.
The cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Lena Olin, Romola Garai, Alex Sharp, Marthe Keller, Jonathan Pryce and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Hawes said: “This film pretty much begins and ends in London and says so much about the people of this city, its heart and its history.

PBS released the first trailer on Saturday for the new Masterpiece series “Roadkill,” starring Hugh Laurie as a scheming U.K. politician.
The four-episode series, set to premiere on Nov. 1, stars Laurie as Peter Laurence, a “self-made forceful and charismatic politician,” according to PBS’s description of the series.
“Peter’s public and private life seems to be falling apart – or rather is being picked apart by his enemies. As the personal revelations spiral, he is shamelessly untroubled by guilt or remorse, expertly walking a high wire between glory and catastrophe as he seeks to further his own agenda while others plot to bring him down.”
Created by Michael Keillor and written by “The Hours” writer David Hare, the series also stars “Peaky Blinders” alum Helen McCrory as well as Saskia Reeves, Iain De Caestecker, Pip Torrens, Millie Brady, Danny Ashok and Sidse Babett Knudsen.

MaryAnn’s quick take… There’s lots to like in this mostly sweet British Muslim rom-com. Pity, then, that it tries too hard, instead of trusting its characters, and sabotages itself. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Oh my goodness, it’s a romantic comedy about a guy who’s about to hit 30 and is desperate to get married. This is because he’s Muslim and hence coping with cultural and religious pressure to pair up, which sucks, but if women have to deal with this, it’s nice to see that turned upside down for once. (No one should have to deal with this, though.) But he’s not having much luck on the Internet dating scene in Manchester (the English one, not the New Hampshire one) because he’s divorced, which comes with...

This indie comedy about Muslim people looking for love in Manchester suffers from terrible production values, wasted talent and a critical lack of laughs
There’s something desperate in this Manchester-set indie comedy about the British Muslim dating scene; the cast are lumbered with a bafflingly lame and leaden script and plodding direction that wouldn’t pass muster for TV in a thousand years. In a gallery of not-funny cartoon characters, signposted on screen by their dating-website handles, two people are supposed to stand out. Danny Ashok plays Shahid, a shy, nice guy who is divorced (a real no-no in his community) and looking for love. He has a day job selling computer printers, but is supposed to be a standup comic – a very rash fictional invention at the very best of times – competing for the imaginary TV show Muslims With Talent. Asmara Gabrielle plays Fatimah, a hardworking Gp who...

Finding Fatimah is a tale of one man’s struggle to find love against the odds.
All young Muslim Shahid (Danny Ashok) wants is to find a life partner but, after five years of trying, he is still struggling to find ‘The One’. The aspiring stand-up comedian is about to hit 30, and his printer business is grinding to a halt, but there’s something else that is rendering him well and truly Un-dateable… he’s divorced.
And now his ‘divorced tag’ is all people see.
Using an online match-making site, Shahid sees no option but to select ‘never married’ on his profile, and when he falls for the bold and beautiful Dr Fatimah (Asmara Gabrielle), he must decide when and how to break the news.
Funny and heart-warming, Finding Fatimah is a hilarious look at the modern British Muslim dating scene. Written and directed by Oz Arshad, the film stars Danny Ashok,...
