‘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 […]

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 […]
‘John Candy: I Like Me’ – Review
There are some performers whose warmth radiates so deeply that even decades after their passing, their presence is still felt; and their absence still hurts. John Candy was one of those rare souls. And in the deeply heartfelt and beautifully reflective documentary John Candy: I Like Me, now streaming on Prime Video, audiences are treated […]
‘Bugonia’ – Review
Halloween has arrived, and if you’re looking for something freakish, fearless, and wholly, wildly original, then Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia is the cinematic fever dream you need to throw yourself into. Strange, shocking, darkly hilarious and wickedly tense, Bugonia is an absurdist black comedy that twists itself into deeper and darker psychological territory with every passing […]
