I’ve made it no secret in the past that my favourite director working today is Christopher Nolan. His films are some of the best examples in modern film in the use of time and structure to play around with the audience, putting the audience in the right frame of mind for twists and suspense. For… Continue reading Dunkirk Review
The Big Sick Review
Once again, I went to an Odeon Screen Unseen event. Of the ones I’ve been to so far, I’ve had a pretty good track record.
