Born Yesterday – Film Review
This 1950 comedy-drama doesn’t quite overcome its stage origins, and its political satire may feel tame by today’s standards, but it’s elevated by Judy Holiday’s irresistible performance as a smart dumb blonde.
Flow – Film Review
You don’t have to be a feline obsessive to fall in love with this magical and unique animated adventure about a cat surviving in the post-apocalyptic world.
Love Lies Bleeding – Film Review
This sweaty and grimy thriller didn’t quite work for me overall, but I couldn’t help but admire its fearless, go-for-broke attitude.
Trap – Film Review
M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller begins with an intriguing premise, then devolves into utter stupidity. I still had fun with it, even if I was rolling my eyes at how ludicrous it was.
Megalopolis – Film Review
I finally watched Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis and found it an engrossing train wreck. In many ways it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, but this cinematic insanity is just too singular and bizarre for me to write it off.
Anora – Film Review
Sean Baker’s chaotic, funny and profane anti-fairytale about a Brooklyn sex worker came just under the hype for me, but I still found plenty to love about it, including Mikey Madison’s outstanding lead performance.
The Outrun – Film Review
Saoirse Ronan is mesmerising in this stark, tough story of addiction and recovery set against the windswept landscapes of the Orkney Islands.
Wicked – Film Review
Once in a while, a movie will turn out to be a pleasant surprise, and this year it’s the big screen version of a beloved Broadway musical that I initially had zero interest in seeing.
