Not worth it
Although Mr Solomon is relatively knowledgeable and manages to get the participation of interesting interviewees, his whole show is undermined by his rather ridiculous superficial comments (in reaction to the Bafta nomination of The Lives of Others, he said 'this movie is sooo last year'. Funny that, I thought the important criteria was the film's intrinsic quality rather than how long it'd been talked about) and his rather dubious personal opinions which too often are thrown in lieu of an educated, well-constructed and objective review. And i won't even mention the perhaps most annoying voice ever to work on radio. If you want a more intelligent and less nasty view of films, try Kermode/Mayo, Filmspotting or the BBC Film Programme. All are more entertaining, more intelligent and more broad-minded.Read full review »

More reviews of The Guardian's Film Weekly
This is surely the most informative, and charming Film podcast available. Jason and Xan keep you up to date on current releases, have personal chats with directors and actors and make you chuckle at their charm. If you are into film and want a good laugh, this is for you. I'm hooked.Read full review »

No rational and well structured description of the films for review, pompous comments, wildly subjective viewpoints abound, inconsistent and the Edward Snowden film given reverential praise because it is a Guardian Story. Needs to be much much better.
