A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)

Though I’ve watched some of Paul Feig’s other movies, I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a fan of his. While I appreciate the female-lead humour in most of his body of work, and the sincerity he promotes in his protagonists, I never felt anything more than a vague fondness for what he has done so far. This has changed with A Simple Favor, a stunning thriller than … Continue reading A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)

The Festival Review – Disgusting Yet Oddly Warming Froth (Rating: 7/10)

Against my better judgement, I have a soft spot for The Inbetweeners. The ultimate show for watching with the sound turned down after your parents have gone to bed when you’re too young to understand half of it, it remains a wealthy source of sayings for British teenagers and young adults.

So to alleviate my sadness, I decided to go see one of the American releases they actually chose to broadcast: The Happytime Murders, or The Spy Who Dumped Me. After a Twitter poll encouraged me towards … Continue reading The Spy Who Dumped Me Review – Violent Comedy Is Nothing New (Rating: 5/10)

Christopher Robin Review – Enjoyable And Sincere But Ultimately Forgettable (Rating: 7/10)

I have to admit, I’m getting tired of irony lately. From the smug fourth wall breaking in Deadpool to the internet becoming increasingly self-referential and meaningless with its in jokes, I’ve started to crave sincerity in the media I consume. Characters who mean what they say, an original idea put forward, and most importantly a sense that the people involved in the creation of whatever movie, … Continue reading Christopher Robin Review – Enjoyable And Sincere But Ultimately Forgettable (Rating: 7/10)

Favourite Film By A Female Director: The Breadwinner

Here’s a review of The Breadwinner that I wrote for a competition where you had to submit a review of a female-directed film. Hope you enjoy! Though released only last year, The Breadwinner has earned its place in the canon of significant cinematic contributions by female directors. Utilising multiple varieties of animation to tell its story, the film uses its unique and beautiful visual style to … Continue reading Favourite Film By A Female Director: The Breadwinner
