  • Good BAFTA, Bad BAFTA: Whose Oscar Race Is Heating Up?

    March 14, 2022

    Last night’s BAFTA handed out their film awards in the first in-person ceremony in two years. Australian star Rebel Wilson hosted the awards, with winners that were surprisingly competitive. Dune led the pack with five wins in technical categories, while fellow front runners CODA, The Power of The Dog and West Side Story came away [...]

  • Turning Red review: Another straight-to-streaming Pixar hit

    March 11, 2022

    It hasn’t been a great pandemic for Pixar. Turning Red is the third film to miss cinemas entirely, heading to Disney+ in the wake of the Omicron variant. Like Soul, it seems unfortunate that a film breaking a lot of barriers should miss the big screen, being the first Pixar film to be solely directed [...]

  • Red Rocket review – a fascinating story of sleaze

    March 10, 2022

    Like 2017’s Oscar nominated The Florida Project, director Sean Baker once again deals with people at the other side of The American Dream in a story that is miles away from anything you’ll currently see at the cinema.  Simon Rex stars as Mikey, a former LA porn star who returns to his hometown in Texas [...]

  • Ali and Ava film review – a wholesome modern British romance

    March 8, 2022

    British director Clio Barnard returns with her first film since 2017’s Dark River, and it’s an uplifting story of a second chance at love.  As the title suggests, this is the story of Ali and Ava, two lost souls who seems to find each other in their bustling Bradford community. Ava (Claire Rushbrook) is a [...]

  • The Duke is a gentle farewell to British cinema great Roger Michell

    March 8, 2022

    A long-delayed film finally getting its release is a weekly occurrence at the moment, but British comedy-drama The Duke arrives with some sadness.  It is the final film of Roger Michell, the beloved British director of Notting Hill, Venus, and Enduring Love, coming just five months after his passing. The BAFTA winner’s final bow is [...]

  • Even after 50 years, The Godfather is still the Don Corleone of movies

    March 8, 2022

    Even half a century since its release, it shouldn’t be difficult to convince you why The Godfather is worth catching this weekend for its anniversary.  It’s The Godfather – the title itself is practically a synonym for good cinema. Adapted from Mario Puzo’s novel, Francis Ford Coppola had to fight to get his vision on [...]

  • The Batman – Robert Pattinson stars in a new twist on a familiar hero 

    March 7, 2022

    Strap in, everyone, blockbuster season has officially begun. It’s the first opportunity for Hollywood to return to some kind of normal release schedule since 2019, and who better to bring back the crowds than The Dark Knight himself?  Robert Pattinson’s debut as The Batman is the 8th Batman-related film in the last decade. It won’t [...]

  • Cyrano is a sweeping and sentimental musical

    March 7, 2022

    The 19th film adaptation of French play Cyrano de Bergerac brings with it to cinemas an advantage. This new version, directed by Joe Wright (Darkest Hour, Atonement), is based on the well-received 2019 Broadway musical by Erica Schmidt. She serves as screenwriter here, while the production’s lead Peter Dinklage is also on board.  The Game [...]

  • Here Before review: Andrea Riseborough shines in tense drama

    February 22, 2022

    British star Andrea Riseborough has made thirty films in the sixteen years since her movie debut, fitting in a variety of projects. A fine supporting player in big names like Oblivion or Birdman, it’s smaller films such as horror-thriller Mandy or drama Luxor that allow her to really shine. The latest in that line is [...]

  • The Real Charlie Chaplin is an honest take on a cinematic genius

    February 21, 2022

    Over a century on from his most famous film The Kid, Charlie Chaplin remains a singular figure in the history of cinema. In the film hub of Leicester Square, his statue has been standing since 1981, a short distance from London’s BFI IMAX, located on Charlie Chaplin Walk. Like Marilyn Monroe or James Dean, his [...]
