"In Kingdom Come, we see an alternate future where our heroes have retired, long since withdrawn from the public eye. Yet in their wake, crime is kept at bay by a group who is anything but heroic - whose take on justice renders them as immoral and dangerous as the criminals themselves. Unable to stand aside any longer, Superman and the Justice League return to the fight, reminding the world what justice truly means."

"A fittingly weird and wacky portrait of a woman whose career was full of swerves and swoops, this feature flutters between docu-style, seemingly unrehearsed conversations with Faithfull herself in her last months; reflections on her legacy from a studio of female intellectuals; covers of her songs by eminent admirers (such as Beth Orton and Courtney Love); and little bits of staged and written dramatic vignettes, performed by the likes of Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, Sophia Di Martino and Zawe Ashton among others, all pretending to be bureaucrats employed at the Ministry of Not Forgetting."
