Nice to be able to write something positive about a British film for a change. Okay, it owes more than a little to Le Chignon d'Olga - a likable leading man lusting after the wrong girl when the right one is under his nose - but it passes a pleasant ninety minutes. James McAvoy captures the right combination of nerd and charm, Eve Hall has just the right amount of casual shrewdness to make Anyone an ideal wife and/or girlfriend and Rebecca Hall knows just how much of the character's natural warmth to conceal under a mask of indifference. The word play in the title may be a tad twee - university IS a challenge for young people away from home for the first time, geddit - but the ultimate effect is just about spot on - for one viewing.
