The High Note (2020)

I’m at the point now where it’s getting more and more difficult to say the same thing about lockdown and watching things at home in different ways over and over again, so let’s just get down to it shall we? Previously scheduled for a theatrical release on May 8th, Nisha Ganatra’s The High Note became…

The Lovebirds (2020)

If there is one company that has thrived during this current pandemic, it’s bloody Netflix. With just ourselves and our remotes for company at home, the vast majority of us have turned to streaming for our film fixes. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release in April, things didn’t quite go to plan for Michael Showalter’s The…

Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020)

I don’t know about you, but the general rule for me is that if a picture makes waves at the Sundance Film Festival, it’s pretty much a certainty that I am going to be a fan. From Little Miss Sunshine to Donnie Darko to Whiplash and many more, some of my all time favourites have…

The Assistant (2019)

It’s coming up to two months now since I saw a film in the cinema, probably the longest theatre-less stretch since childhood! I am happy, however, that there seems to be a regular and steady flow of home releases to enjoy…

Les Misérables (2019)

Fun fact; Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables was one of the first films I ever covered on this blog way back when I was fresher faced, less cynical, and judging by the content of the review itself, significantly less adept at writing! With those memories and a quick jolt “oh fuck, I’m thirty” running through the…
