  • Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play: A tough slog at the Young Vic

    theatre

    Kimber Lee’s Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play had me right up until the moment when it didn’t.  It’s a work filled with righteous indignation about the portrayal of Asian people in popular fiction, from Madam Butterfly to Miss Saigon to a thousand other white, colonial fantasies about mystical “orientals”.  The same story is essentially acted [...]

  • The Creator review: why this slick new action film is well worth your time

    NEW FILMS

    Hollywood loves a bogeyman. In the 80s, films like Red Dawn and Rocky IV had antagonists in the Soviet Union. The internet, climate change, and terrorism are also drawn upon to provide villains. In the 2020s, AI has taken up that mantle. We’ve already seen Tom Cruise chase The Entity in the latest Mission: Impossible [...]

  • Fair Play film review: Netflix goes all Basic Instinct with new erotic thriller

    September 28, 2023

    Thirty years ago, Erotic Thrillers were all the rage as movies like Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, and Eyes Wide Shut titillated and intrigued. It’s a less popular genre these days, but Netflix is hoping for a revival with new film Fair Play. Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich play Emily and Luke, two financial analysts at [...]

  • Derren Brown Unbelievable review: Good ideas in a show that needs work

    September 27, 2023

    Derren Brown Unbelievable review and star rating: ★★★ Derren Brown may have one of the most quietly sustaining careers in showbiz.

  • Beautiful Thing, Stratford East, review: the Heartstopper of the 1990s

    September 25, 2023

    Beautiful Thing review and star rating: ★★★★ It’s a dangerous game, hauling up relics from the past and refashioning them for contemporary tastes, especially when the subject matter is this sensitive and ever-changing. Beautiful Thing was a 1993 play that was adapted for the screen in 1996 about two teenage boys who fell for one [...]

  • A Year in a Field is a profound documentary about the beauty of nature

    September 22, 2023

    It takes a bold filmmaker to truly make you stop and think about the world. Filmed between the Winter Solstices of 2020 and 2021, when the world was forced to be still, Christopher Morris filmed Boscowen Ros, a 4,000-year-old stone monolith for his ruminative new documentary, A Year in a Field. He observes the areas [...]
