Wildwood Review
Wildwood is Laika’s sixth feature film, and their first since 2019’s Missing Link. The illustrious studio delivers a dark epic fantasy. Prue McKeel (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) is a young girl living in Portland, Oregon. She ignores her parents’ warnings not to take her brother Mac outside, leading to the baby being taken by a murder of […]
Elsinore Review
There’s nothing all that suspenseful about the action within Elsinore. That’s the way of things when you’re watching a biopic that turns on a singular event: actor Ian Charleson (Andrew Scott) is determined to portray Hamlet on the stage of the National Theatre before he dies of AIDS. It really happened, it was – by all […]
Klara and the Sun Review
Taika Waititi takes on the job of adapting Kazuo Ishiguro’s dark sci-fi novel Klara and the Sun and turns it into a whimsical fable. In the future, androids have been developed and sold as artificial friends for wealthy teenagers. One of these artificial friends is Klara (Jenna Ortega), an old B1 model. Klara gets her […]
The Liberation Review
The Liberation is a frustrating film. It had a series of truly spectacular performances to anchor the complex themes of the story – a story that is based on writer-director Guy Nattiv’s own grandmother’s life story. But it also has an incredibly unsatisfying ending – not unsatisfying in what happens in the film’s final fifteen […]
Street Fighter (2026) Review
The 2026 version of Street Fighter is the third attempt at starting a live-action Street Fighter film series. This attempt is a silly, campy adaptation of the popular video game series. In 1993, M. Bison (David Dastmalchian) organises a second Street Fighter tournament so he can harvest the power of the winner. His main target […]
Clayface Review
Clayface is the third film in the DCU and the most unexpected film so far due to it being an origins story about a Batman villain. Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) is a rising star in Coast City, an actor who had worked his way out of Gotham City’s roughest district. His acting career reaches […]
The Debut Review
Something happened at my screening of The Debut that has never happened at a film I’ve been at before. Following an absolute stunner of a speech from Julianne Moore’s Mona Friedman (a sequence that all but assures Moore is going to get a nomination for the Best Actress Oscar this year, if not start the race […]
Fatherland Review
I’ll admit I know precious little about Thomas Mann, the central figure that looms large both within and over Paweł Pawlikowski’s gorgeous film Fatherland. But that doesn’t matter, as Pawlikowski and screenwriter Henk Handloegten care less about diving into the biographical elements of Mann’s story – in this case, his trip to a divided Germany in […]
The Social Reckoning Review
The Social Reckoning is the spiritual sequel to 2010’s The Social Network. The sequel looks at how Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg not only knew about the social harm the platform has caused but actively encouraged it. Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allan White) is an investigative journalist who takes up a tech reporting job in the Wall […]
