Portrait of a Lady on Fire Review – A Breathtaking, Beautiful Lesbian Romance
Unsurprisingly, no women were nominated at the Oscars in the Best Director category this year. And it’s important to state for those who didn’t keep up with their film watching last year that this isn’t due to female directors not trying hard enough, as optimistic/ignorant commentators on awards season often like to argue.

What Did Jack Do Review – Joyful Lynchian Absurdity
Fittingly, What Did Jack Do seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere.

Parasite Review – A Mesmerising Indictment Of Western Capitalism
It feels like we’re on the precipice of huge change right now. I can’t truly justify that (I’m a film student, not a politician), but the amount of anger and vitriol and injustice in the world right now must be coming to a head soon.
