Jane Campion leads roll-call of worthy winners as Baftas hit all the right notes
The Harder They Fall, starring Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz and Idris Elba. It is a headbangingly, flesh-splatteringly freaky debut from Jeymes Samuel that reclaims the African-American side of the genre. The drumbeat of brutality became a bit too uniform for me, but it it stylishly made.
