Derek Elley on Looking for Eric (above, Ken Loach and Eric Cantona) in Variety:
&#34;&#8230; helmer Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty&#8217;s ninth feature together is  a curious hybrid: Three movies &#8212; boilerplate, socially aware Loach;  personal fantasy; romantic comedy &#8212; wrap around a central core of a  hopeless soccer fanatic who&#8217;s given a second chance to sort out his  life. As in many of Laverty&#8217;s scripts, problems of overall tone and  character development aren&#8217;t solved by Loach&#8217;s easygoing direction,  though when it works, Eric has many incidental pleasures.&#34;

Anthony Kaufman on A Prophet at indieWIRE:
&#34;If James Toback’s petty-criminal tale Fingers inspired Jacques  Audiard’s previous The Beat That My Heart Skipped, it’s Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas [...]]]></description>

Helen Mirren in The Queen (top); Forest Whitaker in The Last King of England (bottom)

Perhaps there&#8217;s something I&#8217;m missing here, but the Orange British Academy of Film and Television Arts has decided that Kevin Macdonald&#8217;s The Last King of Scotland is the outstanding British film of 2006, coming out ahead of United 93, Notes on a Scandal, Casino Royale, and Stephen Frears&#8216; The Queen. Yet, that very same Orange Academy has picked The Queen as the best film of the year, defeating Little Miss Sunshine, Babel, The Departed, and &#8230; The Last King of Scotland. Go figure.
There were few surprises at the 2007 Bafta ceremony held at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House this evening, unless one considers a Helen Mirren victory [...]]]></description>
