Just here for The Drama- A Review ★★★★.5

The show of The Drama started for me, before the film itself began. It was the 7pm screening on a holiday Friday but even still I was surprised by the numbers filing in, the buzz in the air not too dissimilar from that of a wedding congregation taking their seats with an excited expectation. In […]

Splitsville Review: A Lively Take on the Chaos and Unpredictability of Modern Dating ★★★★

Modern dating is often described as confusing, bleak and chaotic. At a time like this, comedies have the opportunity to present this experience and poke fun at it – otherwise, we’ll all go insane. Splitville (2025), directed and written by Michael Angelo Covino, is a comedy/romance about two married couples with stark problems that become […]

The Good Boy Review – A Twisted British Thriller with Bite and Brilliance ★★★★.5

Stephen Graham’s new psychological British thriller Heel works excellently to blend the bizarre with comedy in this thematically rich and nail-biting tale. Otherwise marketed under the title Good Boy, the film directed by Jan Komasa (Corpus Christi) originally premiered September 5th, 2025 at the 50th annual Toronto International Film Festival. It follows a youthful and […]

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come Review- Bloody, Familiar, and Surprisingly Worth It ★★★

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, the sequel that nobody asked for but was actually kinda good! Samara Weaving steps back into the twisted world of the high council, reprising her role as Grace alongside a charismatic Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania) who stars as the Australian’s estranged sister Faith. As we […]

Dead Man’s Wire Review: A Thriller That Lacks Tension – But Maybe That’s The Point?

Gus Van Sant’s latest film Dead Man’s Wire is a thriller that left me sitting firmly on the back of my seat, but this isn’t necessarily a criticism. Rather it’s a praise of a film that reels you in with a shocking premise, but actually leaves you with much more to mull over. Dead Man’s […]

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Review: A Must-Watch Return, By Order of the Peaky Blinders ★★★★.5

Nearly six years after the series ended, the world of Peaky Blinders finally returns to the big screen. For fans who have been waiting patiently for a continuation of the story, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man proves the wait was worthwhile. The show has always possessed a cinematic quality, so the leap to film feels […]

Sirât Review – A Winding Road to Catharsis ★★★½

Sirât truly is as wild as people say, but not in the way people usually mean. This is the first feature in six years from Oliver Laxe, who has said he “died and came back to life making this film.” That intensity sits over the whole experience. Laxe often describes cinema as cathartic. Sirât tries to reach that space, though it […]

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die Review ★★★.5

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a man is sent back in time to present-day LA to prevent a sentient AI from taking over the world and ushering in the apocalypse. This is not only the plot of the better part of the Terminator franchise but also the simplest description of the new […]

Wasteman Review- A Raw and Intense but Honest Prison Drama ★★★★

It would be a lie to say there is a small part of me that is getting fed up with seeing the same cast in film after film, especially when they end up playing very similar characters repeatedly. That’s because it’s not a small part, it’s a big part of me that feels that way. […]

The Moment Review: The Vulnerable Side of a Party Girl ★★★.5

It’s the summer of 2024 and Charli XCX launches brat — arguably one of the most iconic pop albums in recent years. Its impact hasn’t faded; if anything, it’s grown louder, sharper, and more culturally embedded. I remember spotting the neon green brat posters plastered across the Tube and wondering what on earth it was. […]
