CODA
I must’ve watched a different film from everyone else, cause this was fine, not a best picture winner. On the surface this film could’ve been

Turning Red
What is it with amazing, animated films about generational trauma lately? Turning Red is another delight from Pixar, opting for a more fun, poppy story

Bergman Island
The most postmodern film ever, filled with metaness, intertextuality and an abundance of homages to Bergman yet it lacks any semblance of narrative. This film

The Batman
I’m simply in awe of this film. In a time where we’re saturated with the onslaught of comic book films that seem to rehash the

The Worst Person in the World
“I feel like a spectator in my own life.” This film best put, feels like a mirror to the audience. We’re not all Julie, but in

The outfit
This would’ve made a fantastic play. The Outfit is a smart, witty crime thriller helmed by a delightful performance from Mark Rylance. Penned by Graham

Uncharted
Y’know what, it wasn’t that bad. As a huge fan of the games I had zero expectations going into this, I didn’t like any of

Belfast
A Kenneth Branagh film with no Dutch angles?!? I’m shocked. An emotional resonant and cute picturesque account told through the eyes of a child of living

The Lost Daughter
2021 has been a fantastic year for directorial feature debuts and The Lost Daughter is another fantastic addition into this set of films. A masterful

Being the Ricardos

tick, tick… BOOM! is a masterful debut feature film from Lin Manuel Miranda, confirming that he can tell a beautiful and touching story through the

The Last Duel
After seeing House of Gucci, I was feeling trepidatious with the prospect of sitting down and watching another 3-hour Ridley Scott feature, but my fears

Licorice Pizza
Licorice Pizza is the comedy film of the year, a genuinely non-stop fun ride that completely immerses you in the world of 70s LA. PTA

Don’t Look Up
McKay is certainly not subtle with what he’s trying to do with this film, yet I don’t think that stops Don’t Look Up from being

Encanto
Encanto is another charming, colourful delight from Disney animation that really makes you wonder why we aren’t getting more wonderful original stories like this and

Spider-Man: No Way Home
A film franchise hopes and dreams to have a film in their catalogue that transcends what a normal film is, to become something more, to

House of Gucci
Possibly one of the worst directed films in recent memory, and what’s more surprising is that it’s coming from one of the world’s most prolific

West Side Story
There’s something so oxymoronic about the buffest guys you’ve ever seen doing ballet in the streets of New York. Spielberg directs the shit out of this

Scenes From A Marriage
The stress caused by the show is really a testament to the execution of this remake though. Scenes from a Marriage feels just like that,

Eternals
Eternals marks the 30th project that takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and promised to deliver something we’ve never seen before from Marvel. Helmed
