Misbehaviour Review

This is a film that I’ve been intrigued about for a while. Last year, when I was in London for a weekend with my dad, I saw a scene of this be filmed and researching the events being depicted I was fascinated. This felt like a film that was right up my alley and the…

Onward Review

I’ve made it clear many times in the past that I’m a Pixar fan, but that’s not to say I’m above criticising their work. Films like Brave and The Good Dinosaur have been underwhelming and I probably won’t watch the Cars sequels. With Onward, I was worried that it would go along this route of…

Portrait of a Lady on Fire Review

Celine Sciamma is a director whose work I think shows the true universal appeal of international cinema. Through films like Girlhood and Tomboy, she has created films that have a real universal feel.

Universal decided to abandon the Dark Universe, going in the opposite direction, working with Blumhouse to make lower budget straight…

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) Review

Dolittle Review

Dolittle is exactly what you expect when you hear about a film that has undergone massive studio interference. It’s not exactly the worst film, but you can see a lot of tonal issues over the course of the film and it’s obvious that this is not the film Stephen Gaghan originally wanted to make. I…
