Beating Hearts- Film Review
“It’s clear to see Lellouche cares so much as the film is wonderfully directed and there are many stand out scenes such as the dance sequence… representing the inner world of both Clotaire and Jackie once they realise their feelings are mutual.”

Anora- Film Review
“From the very first shot Anora is not shying away from what it’s about to offer the audience. Not only is it a close dissection of the life of a sex worker, but also the life of a second-generation immigrant.”

Time Cut- Film Review
“Where it has its most fun is relishing in the 2003 setting, slamming you incessantly with bops and the eccentric fashion style of the era. Juicy Couture tracksuit sets and Alanis Morissette are the films bread and butter as it does everything in its power to insist that the early 2000s is worthy of a time travel flick.”
Adam gives some rather scathing feedback on Netflix’s newest, churned out film.

“What the story brings around repeatedly is how the hyper-awareness of others’ opinions, and the fear of these opinions, was entirely detrimental to maintaining a moral society….

A Different Man- Film Review
“Though his striking looks shield him from his inner turmoil as a meek, lonely loser, the film dissects the deeper meaning of ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. It explores what it means to be attractive, how we perceive beauty, and what it signifies to be beautiful both inside and out.”
Michael reviews “A Different Man”

Poorly Chosen Narratives- Chevalier Review
“The more interesting parts of Joseph Bologne’s life, his role in the French revolution despite being a nobleman, are left to be epilogue to the hour and forty-minute feature. The audience is instead met with a drab love story between the Chevalier and the quaint singer, Marie-Josephine de Montalembert.”
Adelaide talks about 2022 film, Chevalier.

How to Continue a Franchise- Alien: Romulus Review
“Alien: Romulus is rife with hints and clear indicators of where the story is going but as a fan of the films, I found that these were not met with sighs from over predictability, instead they drew out excitement for where I knew the film was going to go.”
