BOYHOOD AND UNDER THE SKIN WIN LONDON CRITICS' CIRCLE FILM AWARDS


Up there in prestige with their cousins in New York and Los Angeles, the London Critics' Circle's film members voted to decide their top achievements in film from 2014, for awards handed out at a ceremony last night. Top international awards went largely as predicted, with Boyhood winning Best Picture and Director both; British awards went to Under the SkinTimothy Spall and Rosamund Pike, indeed making for a stronger slate, in my eyes, than their main categories.
