The Digital Fix Article: The Nun Review

Bandersnatch Review – An Ambitious And Engaging Thriller (Rating: 8/10)
Though I never had any doubt that I’d end up checking it out, I did have some doubts about the hype around the ‘choose your own adventure’ structure of Bandersnatch. Not because it sounded like a gimmick, but because I had already played series like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games, who used a similar idea to great effect several years ago. The … Continue reading Bandersnatch Review – An Ambitious And Engaging Thriller (Rating: 8/10)
Bird Box Review – Confusing And Messy, Yet I Kept Watching (Rating: 5/10)
While I was looking for the featured image for this review, I kept coming across news articles about how Bird Box has been ‘Netflix’s Biggest Hit Yet!’, bringing in over 45 million accounts, and subsequently even more viewers. Upon first hearing this, it sounded impressive – if only movies like Widows had brought in such a huge crowd. Then I remembered that there’s a pretty key difference … Continue reading Bird Box Review – Confusing And Messy, Yet I Kept Watching (Rating: 5/10)
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)
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Review – The Definitive Spider-Man Story (Rating: 10/10)
I think everyone at this point agrees that the Spider-Man franchise is not one that requires another reboot anytime soon. With four actors now having played the character since the turn of the millennium, it’s fascinating to me that audiences haven’t been hit with intense Spider-Man fatigue, with many reviewers still claiming that the friendly neighborhood superpowered teen is their favourite hero by far. What’s … Continue reading Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Review – The Definitive Spider-Man Story (Rating: 10/10)

Nae Pasaran Review – Solidarity Forever (Rating: 9/10)
The atrocities that took place in Chile throughout the early 1970s are not something I was ever informed of in my British school. Along with the Peterloo massacre and the more gruesome details of Imperialism, it seemed to be conveniently left out for the comfort of those in power. Nae Pasaran was an eye opener for me, as well as a fantastically accessible and charming documentary, … Continue reading Nae Pasaran Review – Solidarity Forever (Rating: 9/10)
The American Meme Review – All That’s Facetuned Is Not Gold (Rating: 7/10)
It’s a familiar story: some naive individual aspires to a life of glitz and glamour, only to discover that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. The American Meme takes this premise and applies it to the fledgling world of internet influencers, placing notorious socialite Paris Hilton as the creator of this new type of stardom. Whilst I don’t 100% agree with that premise, … Continue reading The American Meme Review – All That’s Facetuned Is Not Gold (Rating: 7/10)
