With many American critics' groups having now set out their awards lists, Sunday afternoon saw the turn of the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards. And, as it has been through those stateside awards, Boyhood once more won a hefty trio of gongs.
This being the London film critics, British film was represented more strongly, with the likes of **Mr. Turner – **via leading man Timothy Spall – and **Under The Skin **got some well deserved recognition, even for a year in which both proved divisive for audiences and critics.
Russia’s Leviathan came away as foreign language film of the year, while Edward Snowden documentary Citizenfour won its category and Julianne Moore took home another Best Actress award for Still Alice, in a line-up that saw her competing against herself for Maps To The Stars.
