Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Voice of Silence Review

So for the last of the films I saw at the Glasgow Film Festival, I wanted to watch another Korean film, given that there was a focus on Korean cinema at the festival and, looking at what was on offer, this stood out to me. On paper this looked like a really good dark comedy,…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Spring Blossom Review

Whilst there is still one more film I saw at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival, I wanted to get my review of the closing film done first. As I watched the opening film, Minari, I wanted to make sure I saw the closing film as well. Unfortunately, I ended up being disappointed with this. The…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Cowboys Review

Continuing with my reviews of films from the 2021 Glasgow Film Festival, Cowboys was one of the films that immediately stood out to me when I saw it on the programme. I’d heard good things about it and I thought it would be an interesting watch and it ended up being a really strong film.…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Sweetheart Review

With the next film I chose to see at this years Glasgow Film Festival, I wanted more of a straight up comedy and looking through what was on offer, this film stood out. This looked like a good little British comedy, and the film itself is a good bit of entertainment. The film follows April,…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Truman and Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation Review

I wanted to make sure I saw at least one more documentary at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival and, looking through the films that were on offer, this one stood out. Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams are fascinating figures and a film exploring their friendship should be fascinating. Unfortunately though, aside from a few interesting…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Black Bear Review

This is going to be a bit of a hard film to review. I had heard good things about this, but it is a hard film to talk about as halfway through the film radically changes. If I want to do my usual plot synopsis of this, it would be disingenuous as it would skip…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: My Favourite War Review

With any film festival, I want to try and see any animated films that they have on offer and this time there looked to be an interesting one with My Favourite War. Now I think animation can do some great things with documentaries, as films like Waltz with Bashir have shown and there are some…

Glasgow Film Festival 2021: Minari Review

Like many other film festivals recently, the 2021 Glasgow Film Festival has gone online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst I wish I was in Glasgow for this, I also know that there are some films that I wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Case in point, the opening film this year,…

2020 Film Round-Up

So we’ve come to the end of 2020 and thank heavens it has finally happened. With everything that has been going on in the world, this has been one of the worst years in recent memory and it doesn’t look like things will lighten up any time soon. In the film world, numerous films have…

Wonder Woman 1984 Review

I’ve made it pretty clear in the past that I think the DC Extended Universe has had a pretty shaky start, especially when compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve only thought about half of the DCEU films released so far have been good, and I consider Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide…
