Bones and All is the newest instalment from director Luca Guadagino (‘Call me by your Name’, ‘Syspria’); a harrowing tale of two romantics on the outskirts of society in the midwest. With grim and insatiable compulsions to indulge in cannibalism, the duo explore their feelings for one another, and the world around them. The story […]
A driving theme for the directors in the creation of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was how does one cope with grief and overcome loss, and it’s affects on each character? Staying true to African tradition, the film begins with a beautiful celebration of King Tchalla’s [Chadwick Boseman’s] life. Setting the scene for a story, that […]
Black Adam, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra offered DC the opportunity to build a story around a character who could not only reinvigorate the DC Universe, but bring the idea of what a hero represents into the modern age. So the question is did it deliver. For me, without a shadow of a doubt!! For those […]
For avid twitter-gossip followers, the run-up to Don’t Worry Darling’s cinematic release may have been one of the most tantalising celebrity features ever to grace your feed.

A story that was nothing less than absolutely brilliant. Transforming the notion of story telling and creating a generation of […]
In my eyes Julia Ducouranu could do no wrong after she stunned audiences with her 2016 debut film Raw. It was shocking, proactive and above all, memorable. It was a contemporary piece of art that I thought would stand the test of time, and almost 5 years later it’s seeming to do just that. It’s a […]
The Israeli comedy ‘Honeymood’, written and directed by Talya Lavie, was the first film I watched as a part of this year’s digital London Film Festival. Without knowing anything going in, despite the length, title & genre, I was pleasantly surprised by the first film of the festival and found its darkly comedic approach a […]
The thrilling debut feature from Rose Glass is a slow-burning, horrific dive into Maud’s (Morfydd Clark) tortured and distressed psyche. With what can be described as having some of the most truly unsettling and disturbing images I’ve seen all year, Saint Maud is a tense and masterfully crafted film, which considering its Glass’s debut makes […]
