Tell It To The Bees (2018)

From Disobedience to Lizzie to The Favourite to Vita & Virginia, it feels like the last year or so has been a better than average time when it comes to complex, interesting stories involving romances between female protagonists. The world of literature is always ripe for a big screen adaptation on this front, and just…

The Dead Don’t Die (2019)

I’ll be the first person to admit that more often than not, I am persuaded to go and see a film not because of the storyline but because of the actors in it. I am much more performance driven than director driven, and with names like Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny and Tilda Swinton…

Midsommar (2019)

It was almost exactly a year ago that I, along with millions of other film lovers, came out of the cinema absolutely shooketh by Ari Aster’s Hereditary.

Unlike…

In Fabric (2018)

It’s fair to say that if you are familiar with the work of writer/director Peter Strickland, you know exactly what to expect with each new release. With a strong style and clear thematic tendencies that are just as recognisable as bigger names like Tarantino, Scorsese or Lynch, you know that going in to a Strickland…
