100 Nights of Hero

☆☆☆☆ As children, we were all brought up on fairytales in one form or another, whether through books or films, they surrounded us. But as we grow older, we tend to drift away from those fables that once shaped our imagination. 100 Nights of Hero, however, invites viewers to return to that childlike wonder, drawing […]

The Naked Gun

☆☆☆½ After 31 years, we’re introduced to Detective Frank Drebin’s son, Frank Drebin Jr., as he steps into his father’s famously clumsy shoes to solve a murder case and keep the Police Department from being shut down in The Naked Gun. I have to admit, this was the most fun I’ve had at the cinema […]

F1 The Movie

When the concept of an F1 film first came about, I can’t lie, I was sceptical. The sport is so interesting in itself, I couldn’t imagine how a film would work and whether it would do the sport justice, but after seeing the film, I can promise it did not disappoint. I had the incredible […]

Autumn

Autumn captures a family’s coming-of-age journey through a series of poignant snapshots, each framed around the eldest son’s visits home after leaving to study abroad. Speaking on the film, director António Sequeira said, “Growing up in the countryside of Portugal, I witnessed firsthand the struggles of its people, who often feel left behind in an […]

Bob Trevino Likes It

Every so often, a film comes along that hits me right in the heart — and Bob Trevino Likes It is one of those films. Lily (Barbie Ferreira), a twentysomething who feels utterly alone in the world—abandoned by her mother and let down by a father who never truly steps up—finds herself reaching out online […]

The Minecraft Movie & Nostalgia

The Minecraft movie is better if you’ve played the game — but best if you grew up with it. Since seeing the film on Friday, I have heard the question, ‘Is it actually good, though?’ a lot, which, to be honest, is a difficult one to answer. Firstly, because taste is subjective, and as I’ve […]

The Brutalist

The idea of going to see a 3h 35m film in the cinema is slightly daunting, we are accustomed to being comfortable and shorter films play into it, with even films clocking in at over 2 hours feeling long sometimes. But the first time I watched the teaser trailer for The Brutalist, I was enthralled, […]

A Different Man

Perhaps any potential risk is worth the reward? ‘A Different Man’ discusses the lengths we would go to, to become ‘conventionally attractive’ but also that what we consider ‘better’ is not always what it seems. I had to sit on this film for a few days – I think it began brilliantly, Sebastian Stan makes […]

The Outun

‘The Outrun’ is a complex yet beautiful adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s memoir by the same name. Unlike many stories portraying the battles of addiction in a linear fashion, the film shows it exactly as it is, not only how it affects Rona, the protagonist of the story, but also those around her – this is […]

The Iron Claw

’I guess it’s because I used to be a brother. And now i’m not a brother anymore.’ This post is a little bit delayed because I actually saw The Iron Claw at the end of January but went on a little holiday! The Iron Claw is inspired by the true story of the Von Erich […]
