Film Review - One Life
Ultimately, whilst its premise is much stronger than its humdrum execution, One Life succeeds in reminding us of the inherent goodness of ordinary people.
Film Review - The Zone of Interest
Devoid of all but the implication of violence, The Zone of Interest commands you to reckon with just how easy it is to turn a blind eye without even realising.
Film Review - Napoleon
If you have no interest in historical accuracy and enjoy stunning cinematography, awkward romancing, spectacular war scenes, and hate the English, then Napoleon is the film for you.
Film Review - Sisu
Offering up a gold rush of entertaining action and ridiculous predicaments for its masochistically macho protagonist to fight through, Sisu mostly sticks the landing in delivering a satisfying and fist-pumping cinematic experience.
Film Review - Benediction
Biographical films can at times garner the need to intellectualise and dissect the life of the individual and the film itself, Benediction is different. Benediction is meant to be felt.
Film Review: Firebird
A peak behind the Iron Curtain exponentially aided in submerging myself into the story, one that relished in exploring the different ways people learn to accept themselves. Some just don’t, which leads to one of the most frustrating, yet compelling, revelations Firebird presents to its audience.
Film Review: Operation Mincemeat
