I went into Ocean’s 8 expecting a fun ride that would keep me occupied for a couple of hours, and that is what I received. What more can I honestly say? This is not a particularly deep film, nor one with much of a point to make, but if men can have these dumb escapist power fantasies, then God damn I’m happy we women apparently can … Continue reading Ocean’s 8 Review: A Stylish, Entertaining Genre Flick (Rating: 7/10)

It seems we’ve all been spoiled this year in terms of high-quality horror. Ghost Stories brought back the British horror tradition with a complex narrative and ingenious use of the social realist aesthetic. A Quiet Place gave some incredible tension, featuring a new spin on the monster movie with a strong emotional core. Now we have Hereditary, a film to top off and surpass these fantastic few months of … Continue reading Hereditary Review: A Masterpiece of Modern Horror Storytelling (Rating: 10/10)

However, this also meant that I approached Mary and the Witch’s Flower with a reasonable deal of trepidation, unsure of whether it could live up to the unbelievably high standard … Continue reading Mary and the Witch's Flower Review – Definitely A Worthy Successor (Rating: 9/10)

When Solo was first announced, I was over the moon. I’m a big fan of the Star Wars movies so the idea of having an entire film dedicated to Han Solo, arguably the franchise’s most enigmatic major character, was very exciting. Unfortunately though, as time went on, I found myself less and less interested in the movie, and I realised in the back of my mind that part … Continue reading Solo: A Star Wars Story Review – A Fun and Frivolous Romp (Rating: 6.5/10)
