2021 Reviews – French Exit
I went in blind, baby! My new favourite way to see a movie. I saw this movie’s poster with Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges sitting a seat part in the backseat of a fancy car, and that was good enough … Continued
2021 Reviews – Malcolm & Marie
Zendaya and John David Washington. John David Washington and Zendaya. I’m keen, whichever way you slice it. I’m late to this, but Foxtel keeps advertising Euphoria and emphasising that Zendaya is exceptional, although I haven’t seen it for myself; and … Continued
2021 Reviews – The Little Things
After two slower and somewhat tranquil films, finally again, something that looks like it’ll have those meaty stakes I can sink my teeth into. I thought One Direction had already taught me everything I’d need to know about the ‘little … Continued
O Academy, Where Art Thou?
Let’s start with something easy; Parasite was the best movie I’ve seen released in 2019. At the 92nd Annual Academy Awards last year, it was a well-deserving winner of the Oscar for Best International Feature Film. Heck, it was so … Continued

2021 Reviews – News of the World
It was around this time last year that I was sitting in the cinema with a Tom Hanks movie in front of me; A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood. And here I am again, for News of the World. I … Continued
2021 Reviews – The Dig
If Principal Skinner was writing this introduction, he would probably say something like, ‘all upcoming readers that liked The Dig will be rewarded, with a movie review about an archaeological dig. Conversely, anyone who did not like this movie will … Continued
2021 Reviews – Shadow in the Cloud
I’m just looking to have a fun time at the cinema. Seriously, I’ve seen some serious movies in the past month, but Shadow in the Cloud looks bonkers; it looks like Tomb Raider meets Suckerpunch – I’m down. A popcorn … Continued
2021 Reviews – Pieces of a Woman
Well, the thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone. The hip bone’s connected to the backbone – which pieces of a woman are we talking about here? I’ve quickly fallen behind in some reviews for 2021, but anyone who knows … Continued
