Another year, another film watch list and unfortunately, some of the restrictions I faced last year only came back again. But due to the job I started at the end of last year, I was even more restricted and missed out on so many films and festivals and opportunities in general.
A murder mystery with dark comedic turns, what is not to like? Full review HERE.
Atmospheric and literally intoxicating, a Viking story, folktale with twists and turns. Full review HERE.
This could be a throwaway character study set to the background of college sports but there is something far more brilliantly observed here. Deserved far more attention than it got. Full review HERE.
I would say this was better than the first Benoit Blanc case. Review HERE.
Said to be the film to watch if you’re heading into your 30s or at the start and that was pretty much spot on. Don’t let the length of the film put you off. Even if the story isn’t exactly how you’re feeling, the essence of what is happening will definitely be something you can connect too.
There is far more to say about the film. Tax and donuts aside, this is an amazing science fiction romance, mother-daughter drama that is so hard to define, which is probably why its winning people over. It’s a beautifully heart-breaking, yet so simple at the centre.
Going back to the gritty roots of who Batman is or was. More like a crime story that is every bit the detective story. Full review HERE.
This film has some fanfare at the start but soon was forgotten from people’s radar which is a real shame. Wannabe porn star from Sweden tries to make it in the business, make or literally break. Fantastic central performance and showing all side of an industry surrounded by controversy.
Director Paul Verhoeven has done it again, taken a story and gently shoved it in our faces. Based on a real person, this very much feels like the beginning of that story. Full review HERE.
