The Killer – Film Review
I enjoyed David Fincher’s thriller about a deadly perfectionist for what it is, a stylish, sleek, superbly directed and acted procedural that doesn’t have a lot going on beneath the surface… and that’s ok.
In the Mood for Love – Film Review
After a long break, I was back at the Astor Theatre for this sumptuous, melancholy romantic drama about unconsummated love in the 1960s Hong Kong.
Private Life – Film Review
Infertility is a topic that rarely if ever makes it into the movies, but this bittersweet comedy-drama about a middle-aged couple trying to conceive goes all in on the difficult and sensitive subject, with intelligence and humour.
Knock at the Cabin – Film Review
This apocalyptic thriller is a disappointingly mediocre M. Night Shyamalan offering, a very silly movie that takes itself way too seriously and is neither great nor memorably awful.
Aftersun – Film Review
A deceptively simple, gentle and ultimately heart-wrenching story about father and daughter, brimming with hidden darkness and questions that memories cannot answer.
Past Lives – Film Review
Gorgeous, mature and delicately bittersweet romantic drama about childhood sweethearts reconnecting over the years.

Oppenheimer – Film Review
Christopher Nolan’s brilliant, expansive film about the life, work and disturbing legacy of a complicated, haunted man was one of the most intense cinema experiences I’ve had in a while. It may not be completely free of Nolan’s worst traits, but it also feels like the mature, contemplative film he’s been building towards throughout his entire career.
