The Oranges

Director: Julian Farino

Starring: Hugh Laurie, Leighton Meester

Film USA - Drama

Trailer | Showtimes

Review of Catherine Shoard

'What The Oranges most needs it a bit more acid in the mix to perk it up. It tastes like Sunny Delight, when what you really wanted was a screwdriver.'

Review of Peter Bradshaw

'As the nation recovers from its Newsnight affair, there could hardly be a more relevant movie than this new one from 43-year-old Danish director Thomas Vinterberg about a wrongful accusation of child abuse. Vinterberg has created a drama-thriller with the atmospheric grip of a horror film'

'here's a bit of drag in the opening act, and Fox would rather talk about social politics than foreign affairs, but it's a film full of tenderness, resting on a tremendous, sad performance from Knoller.'
