Film Review - Bird
Bird is a visceral coming-of-age tale that soars thanks to its naturalistic approach to both performances and on-screen craft.
Europa Europa Film Fest 2025 Review - They Will Be Dust
if you’re into making a mockery of death, ethereal dancing, classical art allegories, and ‘tacky’ playlists then They Will be Dust is the film for you.
Europa Europa Film Fest 2025 Review - Julie Keeps Quiet
What stands out the most is the ironically loud message of Julie Keeps Quiet.
Film Review - Heart Eyes
Heart Eyes is certainly a commendable addition to the horror-comedy genre, offering a refreshing take on the slasher formula without reinventing the wheel.
Film Review - Presence
Stephen Soderbergh […], makes a return to experimental filmmaking with Presence: a modernised ghost story serving as a deliberate subversion of the genre itself.
Film Review - Queer
Though Queer has all the ingredients of a great drama, its delivery misses the mark.
Film Review - 10 Lives
If you’re looking for a film to watch with your family, this one won’t set your world on fire, but it’s sure to incite some excitement from younger audiences all the same.
Film Review - Grand Tour
If you enjoy thoughtful films and would like to explore a movie that doesn’t follow the “rules”, or give everything to you on a silver platter, this may be the perfect film for you as you escape the hot summer weather with a drink and an ice cream in an air-conditioned theatre.
Film Review - Babygirl
Reijn suggests that pleasure has an interstitial quality, making it neither good nor evil, only a key part of life.
Film Review - Companion
Dating and relationships, especially in the modern world, can be a real horror.
Film Review - Wolf Man
As far as January horror movies go, you could do worse, but howling about Wolf Man, you will not be.
Film Review - The Brutalist
Nothing in the film really ‘fails’, per se, and if there were a universal, objective checklist of things that make a Good Movie–there isn’t, by the way–The Brutalist meets them all.
Film Review - We Live in Time
We Live In Time is a contemplative and slow-burning exploration of love, time, grief, and the human condition.
Film Review - Moana 2
“What lies beyond” Moana 2’s eye-catching animation and lavish island and ocean scenes, is a celebration of culture and identity that Disney has somehow gotten right after so many ill-fated attempts at representation in recent times.
Film Review - Sonic the Hedgehog 3
For the fans, Sonic 3 remixes and updates one of the most popular Sonic adventures in ways that bring a new speed to a classic narrative.
Film Review - Kraven the Hunter
As I watched Kraven the Hunter, I couldn't help but reflect on my experience with the Sony universe on the whole. Is it really possible that this was ever going to work?
Film Review - Anora
Anora is a technical masterpiece - Baker’s approach to casting leads the audience to believe they’re watching a documentary instead of a drama.
Film Review - Parthenope
In Parthenope (2024), Paolo Sorrentino explores youth, beauty, and the fleeting nature of desire, in an homage to the intoxicating allure of the Mediterranean coast, and living in the shadow of the male gaze.
Film Review - The Room Next Door
This film proves that the rich cinematic style of Almodóvar transcends all kinds of language barriers.
