Christmas is almost here, and while most filmmakers are content to serve up cosy sentimentality and sugar-dusted escapism, Paul Feig has other, far more dangerous ideas on his mind. With The Housemaid, the filmmaker behind Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor delivers a seductive, scandal-soaked psychological thriller that slithers under your skin and refuses to let […]

‘The History of Sound’ – Review
Filmmaker Oliver Hermanus firmly cemented his talent with 2022’s Living, an intimate, emotionally resonant masterpiece led by Bill Nighy that quietly emerged as one of the decade’s defining pieces of cinema. It was sincere, deeply human, and profoundly warm: an exploration of life’s small miracles that lingered long after the credits. Now, Hermanus returns with […]
‘Eternity’ – Review
There’s nothing quite like an end-of-year romantic comedy to wrap you up in all the feels, and when A24 is steering the ship, you know you’re in for something truly heartfelt. Eternity is exactly that: a film that’s warm, tender, emotionally rich and overflowing with love in all its forms. It’s funny, it’s moving, it’s […]
‘Oh. What. Fun.’ – Review
Christmas time is here again, and we all know who the true heroes of the season are: MUMS. From wrapping gifts to knitting sweaters, from endless cooking to last-minute pottering about, and delivering all the cuddles, attention and love that make the holidays magic, mums shoulder the emotional (and literal) labour of Christmas. It’s exhausting […]
‘Die My Love’ – Review
There’s a special electricity that crackles through the cinema when an auteur decides to go all-in, and Lynne Ramsay is absolutely that kind of filmmaker. The acclaimed Scottish director has always gravitated toward the dangerous edges of human experience: toward the taboo, the uncomfortable, the brutally intimate, and she brings that fierce artistic integrity roaring […]
‘Nuremberg’ – Review
World War II began with the law. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party manipulated, rewrote, and weaponised Germany’s legal system in 1933, twisting democracy into dictatorship and stripping an entire population of their human rights. Six years later, the world plunged into unprecedented chaos and violence, costing tens of millions of lives. And when the […]
‘The Night Manager’ – Season One – Review
With the announcement that Tom Hiddleston is set to return to the world of high stakes espionage withe second season of The Night Manager, I thought it prudent to return to Season One of this high-stakes, deftly plotted and intrigued spy thriller, and as re-watch it doesn’t disappoint with its delivery of high-stakes espionage, suave […]
‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ – Review
Bruce Springsteen has always stood as a towering figure of American music: a blue-collar poet whose stories of hope, heartbreak, and the road have shaped generations. His artistry has long been defined by a raw honesty, and in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, filmmaker Scott Cooper brings audiences inside one of the most pivotal creative […]
‘Wicked: For Good’ – Review
Darlings, the moment has finally arrived. Grab your glitter gloss and your cutest pastel fit, because we are following that yellow brick road all over again, and trust me, Wicked: For Good is absolutely, positively, deliciously worth the trip. 2025’s must-watch fantasy musical sequel has landed in cinemas like a technicolour tornado, bursting with colour, […]
‘The Running Man’ – Review
Let it be said, once again and without hesitation, that Edgar Wright remains one of modern cinema’s purest pop-culture auteurs. He’s a filmmaker who thrives on velocity, vibe, and verve, someone who can fuse genres together into electrifying cinematic cocktails that feel wholly fresh while paying homage to the best of what came before. From […]
