Boy, oh boy, do we have the film of the summer – Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino has knocked it out of the park once again (or some equivalent tennis reference – hit it into the court?). Challengers is visually rich, character-driven storytelling brought to life by beautiful movie stars, with an

I struggle to think of a movie in recent memory which has made me feel as anxious as A24’s newest thriller, Civil War. Even with a recently revitalised interest in classic horrors, I have rarely jumped as high, clung to my chair so hard, or held my breath so long for any monster or villain

Maestro, Bradley Cooper’s much anticipated biopic about Leonard Bernstein, is a jaunty exploration into the composer’s life, bursting with energy and showcasing Cooper’s potential as an influential director in Hollywood. Generally, Cooper does well to put his stamp on the film and play with various stylistic decisions, like imbuing the opening sequences with Old Hollywood

A haunting domestic drama with fantastically disturbing performances, May December was a great watch from start to finish. The film is based loosely on the prominent 90’s news story about Mary Kay Letourneau, a woman convicted of sexual abuse of her student and, later, husband and father of her children.

I’d heard Anderson was adapting some of Roald Dahl’s slightly more mature content, but was surprised to load up Netflix and struggle to find the four shorts. For a while I even thought there were

Well, I’m back. I think. After a long hiatus I’ve decided I would be doing a disservice to all my fans out there if I didn’t keep going with this project. So, after finally finishing up BBC’s adorable television show Ghosts, I’m finally sitting down to present you with my thoughts. First, a quick overview.

The movie everyone is talking about. Seriously, my out-of-the-loop dad even asked me what was going on with Olivia Wilde. Unfortunately, seeing the movie didn’t give me any further answers for him. Setting aside the drama that the cast has drummed up in the last few months, the movie itself was disappointing. It started out

As a horror fan, a Normal People fan, and someone who loves when filmmakers think outside the box, I felt obligated to watch Fresh. I heard nothing about it before seeing the title card pop up on Hulu but I didn’t need any backstory to convince me to press play. Director Mimi Cave’s debut feature
