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.
It Follows – Film Review
A horror movie with a simple, original and brilliantly unnerving premise, It Follows may not be perfect but it was effective enough to wreck my night’s sleep afterwards.
The Substance – Film Review
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of body horror, but I really loved this brash, bold and obscene fable that feels like a work of singular vision despite easily spotted influences.
Thelma – Film Review
This winsome feelgood comedy featuring the most unlikely action heroine is a touching and funny tribute to the old age.
