Jonathan Glazer hasn't made a feature film since 2013's Under The Skin, but his big return to screens with The Zone Of Interest has certainly been winning praise and attention. And so it continued with the 44th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, where Zone took film of the year, director and technical achievement.
Yet it shared the limelight with Andrew Haigh's All Of Us Strangers, which won British/Irish film of the year, saw Andrew Scott nab a well deserved acting award and his co-star Paul Mescal go home with the award for his various excellent performances of last and this year.
Charles Melton, who has been largely unlucky at other awards ceremonies, went home with a supporting actor award, while some more regular winners such as Anatomy Of A Fall's writing team of director Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, plus Emma Stone and The Holdovers' Da'Vine Joy Randolph all repeated.
