My Year In Cinema

2023 was the year I finally decided to invest in an Unlimited cinema pass (thanks Cineworld), it’s something I had wanted to do for years and I finally decided to when I saw how many films I wanted to see were coming out this year – this is not an ad but honestly it is […]

anyone but you

Often I find it can be hard to get a romcom right – but Anyone But You didn’t have that struggle. At the end of the day, the romantic comedy genre isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s fun! and this film was exactly that. Not only did I enjoy it but I’m pretty sure everyone in the […]

Priscilla

Priscilla was one of my most anticipated movies for the later part of this year so when I got the chance to see an early preview at Cineworld I was very excited. Priscilla is based on Priscilla Presley’s autobiography ‘Elvis and Me’ and follows their relationship from Priscilla’s perspective, beginning from their first meeting in […]

wonka

As a musical movie and Timothée Chalamet lover, I was super excited to see Wonka and obviously had to make sure I was there the night it was released. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, so I went into the film fairly blind (bar the trailer and production shots) but I […]

Saltburn

I can’t lie, I was terrified to watch Saltburn – I had heard a very mixed bunch of reviews calling the film messed up and super weird and whilst it was incredibly weird it was also wonderful. I’ve been reflecting on the film for a few days and whilst narratively it is not perfect – […]

The hunger games – The ballad of songbirds and snakes

As a book and film blog, I have the perfect opportunity to talk about a film that’s recently been adapted from one of my favourite books! The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The book (and film) is a prequel to ‘The Hunger Games’ (64 years before those books began) and is essentially […]

Gerwig & Girlhood

(apologies if this post doesn’t fully make sense, its a passionate ramble) Since my first watch of Lady Bird in 2018, I declared Greta Gerwig my favourite director, which is some feat considering she only had one solo-directed film out at the time. However, I felt so connected to the film and characters she had […]

The Little Mermaid

‘The human world is a mess’ Like many other little kids, I was always into Disney Princesses and like many, I had my favourite, Ariel! I can’t name an exact reason why The Little Mermaid was my favourite princess film (apart from the banging songs) but it always has been so when the live action […]

Daisy Jones & The Six

‘I am not the muse, I’m the somebody’ I fell in love with ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ a little over a year ago after reading ‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’ by the same author. I’ve always loved the books by Taylor Jenkins Reid as the characters and stories are so real, you almost […]

Aftersun

‘I think it’s nice we share the same sky’ ‘Aftersun’ is a beautiful film from director Charlotte Wells, the film’s nostalgic tone is immediately set with Sophie as an adult looking through the home videos she filmed with her dad as she reminisces on their final holiday together. The film continues showing both their home […]
