When this film won pretty much every award for Best Foreign Language Film earlier in the year, this jumped up my radar on films to watch. I was already interested to see it based on how much I appreciated the previous collaboration between Thomas Vinterberg and Mads Mikkelsen, The Hunt, and I was lucky enough… Continue reading Another Round Review

The Father Review
So this is going to be a bit of a tricky review to write. I don’t really want to get into it but there are some personal experiences which made The Father a tough watch for me.

Nobody Review
This is a film that really snuck up on me. Until I saw the trailer for it a few months ago, I didn’t even know this existed but it quickly became one of my most anticipated films of the year.

I kind of guessed that after the success of Maleficent we would get more films about the Disney villains, but I didn’t really expect Cruella de Vil would be one of them. However, I was intrigued when it was announced… Continue reading Cruella Review
