Tall Girl Review – A Film As Vapid As It Seemed (Rating: 2/10)
I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, despite the widespread pre-release criticism. Even at their worst, I usually manage to find the good in rom-coms targeted at teenage girls – we’ve all been there, and I like to think that the current set of 13 year olds are getting some decent movies. But sadly, Tall Girl was everything the brutally mocked trailer suggested … Continue reading Tall Girl Review – A Film As Vapid As It Seemed (Rating: 2/10)
Modest Heroes Review – A Charming Trio Of Uplifting Shorts (Rating: 9/10)
Since establishing themselves with the spectacular Mary and the Witch’s Flower last year, Studio Ponoc (an offshoot of Ghibli) have, along with Makoto Shinkai, become the ones to watch among fans of Japanese animation. As well as full feature films, Ponoc has begun to make shorts, and intend to produce themed anthologies on a regular basis. The first, entitled Modest Heroes, is a gorgeous, heartwarming set of … Continue reading Modest Heroes Review – A Charming Trio Of Uplifting Shorts (Rating: 9/10)

Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood Review – A Nostalgic Ode To The End Of An Era (Rating: 9/10)
Quentin Tarantino is no stranger to controversy, and there remains very little that he hasn’t tackled – even when he maybe shouldn’t have done. With rape in Pulp Fiction, Nazis in Inglorious Basterds, and perhaps most dubiously slavery in Django Unchained, no taboo stone remains unturned. Next on his list, and fresh in the minds of some in the film industry, was the Manson murders, and the death … Continue reading Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood Review – A Nostalgic Ode To The End Of An Era (Rating: 9/10)

Socrates Review – A Sensitive Portrait Of Intersectional Poverty (Rating: 9/10)
In a cinematic world dominated by the MCU, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a film requires a large budget to be competent. When the average budget of a Hollywood movie is easily in the tens of millions of dollars, and entire CGI worlds have become mundane to most viewers, films that cost less than the price of a house to … Continue reading Socrates Review – A Sensitive Portrait Of Intersectional Poverty (Rating: 9/10)
Midsommar Review – A Feverish Folk Nightmare (Rating: 9/10)
I imagine most people have experienced a fever dream, but as a chronically ill person who has always been irritatingly prone to a high temperature, I’ve had more than a few in my life. What has always struck me about them is that, along with the spatial and temporal inconsistencies that feature in most of my regular dreams, they seem so unnaturally vivid. Inconsequential noises … Continue reading Midsommar Review – A Feverish Folk Nightmare (Rating: 9/10)
Secret Obsession Review – A Shallow, Trashy Amnesia Thriller (Rating: 3/10)
This was not a film I had been planning to review, but instead was one that had been thrust upon me by the greasy hands of fate. I woke up wondering what my second post would be about this week, knowing that other pieces I had written wouldn’t be up for at least a few more days. Eyes half-open, I reached for my phone, opened … Continue reading Secret Obsession Review – A Shallow, Trashy Amnesia Thriller (Rating: 3/10)
