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.
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.
Memoir of a Snail – Film Review
Adam Elliott’s stop-motion animation about a snail-collecting outsider is an offbeat and bittersweet saga, shifting between tragedy and comedy in a story about the shells we place on ourselves.
Beetlejuice – Film Review
In honour of Halloween, I thought I’d check out yet another 80s classic I’ve never watched before, a ghoulish supernatural comedy from Tim Burton that may be slight on story and characters but is still utterly charming and inventive.
The Omen (1976) – Film Review
It’s the spooky season, so I thought I’d revisit this iconic horror film that had scarred my childhood.
