This year delivered an extraordinary range of films that transcended genre, narrative, character, and creative expression, all culminating in unforgettable experiences that reminded us why nothing […]
‘Anaconda’ – Review
Jack Black and Paul Rudd are more than ready to go native, plunging headfirst into the jungle for Anaconda: a wild, unhinged, and gloriously self-aware remake-of-a-remake that fully embraces its own stupidity. Loud, ridiculous, and relentlessly entertaining, this is exactly the kind of sunburnt, beer-in-hand summer blockbuster chaos audiences could use right about now. Doug […]

‘The Housemaid’ – Review
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.

‘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 […]
