Yesterday Review – A Silly, Scattered, Sincere Rom-Com (Rating: 8/10)

Danny Boyle is a director with a bizarrely diverse filmography. Starting with the black humour and aggression of movies like Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, he eventually moved into more crowd-pleasing work like his Oscar-winning (though now often maligned) Slumdog Millionaire, and the biopic Steve Jobs. This isn’t to say he doesn’t have certain hallmarks; an optimistic humanism is present in even the bleakest of his films, and he is consistently … Continue reading Yesterday Review – A Silly, Scattered, Sincere Rom-Com (Rating: 8/10)

Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)

It’s not as though Spider-Man as a character can’t generate enough hype by himself – particularly after the surprise critical and commercial success of Into The Spider-Verse – but within the … Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)

Always Be My Maybe Review – Hilarious, Down To Earth, And Everything Else That Makes A Rom-Com Shine (Rating: 8/10)

These three could hardly be more different as performers, but the successes brought on by their stand-up specials for the streaming site have … Continue reading Always Be My Maybe Review – Hilarious, Down To Earth, And Everything Else That Makes A Rom-Com Shine (Rating: 8/10)

The Perfect Date Review – By The Numbers, As Expected Netflix Romcom (Rating: 5/10)

Much like A24’s ownership of Lucas Hedges and Timothee Chalamet, I feel as though Netflix has decided that Noah Centineo is simply too profitable to let escape their virtual clutches. Since starring in the surprisingly decent To All The Boys I Loved Before, the 22-year-old has become a genuine teen heartthrob, thirsted after by enough people to have gathered over 16 million Instagram followers. It’s understandable … Continue reading The Perfect Date Review – By The Numbers, As Expected Netflix Romcom (Rating: 5/10)
