Roma Review – A Thoughtful, Loving Portrait Of A Neglected Woman (Rating: 10/10)

Following the BFI London Film Festival back in October, the Twitter buzz for Roma was completely unavoidable. From debates on whether it’s even worth watching through Netflix on TV instead of in theatres, to discussions of how it was undeniably the best film of 2018, the hype was unbelievable. So I put it off – only for around a week after the initial Netflix release, but … Continue reading Roma Review – A Thoughtful, Loving Portrait Of A Neglected Woman (Rating: 10/10)

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of 2018

I tossed around the idea of making a top ten best or worst films of this year list, but I felt as though it might get a bit lost amongst other, more established, and frankly better critics using an identical format. So instead, here are my three lists that each contain several films I have strong feelings towards; in other words, the good, the bad, … Continue reading The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of 2018

The Princess Switch Review – A Christmas Movie At Its Most Fantastically Silly (Rating: 5/10)

Maybe it’s because I watch enough brilliant and intellectually challenging films for university, maybe it’s because I don’t have the energy this time of year, I don’t know.

The Other Side Of The Wind Review – An Embittered and Dated Final Splutter (Rating: 3/10)

I’m going to keep this review short, partly because my M.E. is wearing me down now I’m in the middle of a uni term, but mostly because I feel as though this opinion won’t be a popular one, and I don’t want to drag it out for the majority who will disagree. After watching Orson Welle’s long-lost-til-now The Other Side of the Wind, rather than being … Continue reading The Other Side Of The Wind Review – An Embittered and Dated Final Splutter (Rating: 3/10)
