I loved 28 – haven’t seen the “fat lady” device before. In 12, is “to” the anagram indicator (as in becomes, turns into)? I like the clue but I have to agree with you that its construction seems to be towards the libertarian end of the spectrum.

I stared at it for ever, with all five crossing letters in place, but came nowhere close to seeing it. So a did-not-finish today.

Otherwise it seemed more straightforward than usual for Cinephile, with the clues for (among others) VANILLA, TEST and ULSTER requiring not too much effort. I liked LEAD ROLE and HIGH-RISE, which I interpreted as DavidA and Stuart.
