Film Review: Nancy

For some years now, I have been a frustrated fan of the British actress Andrea Riseborough. She’s clearly a huge talent, but one who always seemed to turn up and be the best thing in movies that were anything from disaster (Madonna’s misbegotten W/E, in which she shone against all...

The Week in Movies: November 19th – 25th 2018

Just a couple of reviews this week, both from my catch up on 2018 titles. Megan Leavey In this fact based drama, Kate Mara plays Megan Leavey, who, at 20, joins the Marines out of a sense that her life isn’t going anywhere. She ends up training as a dog...

The Week in Movies: November 12th – 18th 2018

The Nutcracker and the Four RealmsDisney’s latest would be blockbuster isn’t another live action remake of one of its animated classics. That’s not to say it’s particularly good though. This version of the fairytale perennial is based both on the story by ETA Hoffmann and the ballet by Tchaikovsky. It...

Film Review: Suspiria [2018]

It’s important for a critic to understand and to state their bias, so I should say upfront that I love the original 1977 version of Suspiria. Dario Argento’s hallucinatory masterpiece is one of the most beautiful horror films ever made, and to my mind one of the greatest. This only...

The Week in Movies: November 5th – 11th 2018

The Hate U GiveFilm is a reactive medium, but because it is expensive and time consuming to make it’s also often a slow one. The Black Lives Matter movement began in 2013 but this year we seem to have seen a glut of films that feel like they are responding...

Film Review: Mirai

I’m not fond of the tendency to label any interesting new anime director as ‘the next Miyazaki’. Partly this is because I’m a far bigger fan of the Studio Ghibli films by other directors but it also just strikes me as an easy crutch, and to apply it to filmmakers...
