"Doctor Strange is a visually impressive, well-acted and narratively subversive comic book film. Pencil this one in the win column."

By Josh Fielding Apologies, this was meant to be up yesterday but I won last-minute tickets to a performance of Lazarus, a musical set to David Bowie songs. If you live in London, I highly recommen…
