First-time writer-director Beth de Araújo has achieved a shocking vicious social horror confronting the hideous racism still alive and well in modern day society. I was both shaken and unsurprised by the violent chain of events which I cannot summarise better than Rolling Stone’s headline title “The Neo-Nazi Karens of Soft & QuietCould Be Your Neig...
A tragicomedy which delivered everything I was expecting. McDonagh’s reuniting with the epic duo of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson from In Brugeshas brought us a poignant and oddly relatable battle of egos and friendship all wrapped up in a constant gnawing threat of escalation of both violence and loneliness.
Whilst I was immediately enthralled by the underwater filming and bleak yet stunning scapes of the Croatian coast, at the heart of Kusijanovic’s film lies a coming of age drama full of longing, family duty and desire. Gracija Filipovic’s performance blew me away and I was so taken by the gentle rising tensions which contrasted directly with the see...
Laura Galán builds on her stand out performance in Pereda’s earlier proof of concept short Piggy (Cerdita), delivering one of my favourite horrors of this year. The complexities of being a young girl growing up in a world which isn’t always kind lead perfectly into the gore and violence I love and crave in a great slasher film.
Part of the London Film Festival’s 2022 lineup Rove of Gems immediately grabbed me in ways in which I can’t fully express. We follow the lives of three women brought together by tragedy and punctuated by flashes of violence and dreamlike sequences of rural Mexican life. As she explained in our interview, it was never Gallado’s intention to deliver ...
This masterful father-daughter drama awakened such visceral feelings of loss within me and thoroughly deserves all of the success it has already garnered. The apparent calm of a sundrenched holiday only accentuates the melancholy haunting Calum and whilst I have a tendency to be wary of young actors, Frankie Corio clearly has a stunning career ahea...
At the heart of Thyberg’s Sundance premiering debut feature (which we spoke to her about back in June) lies a young woman trying to succeed in her chosen career and the day to day struggles which embody any climb up the proverbial ladder. I love the unapologetic look at agency and consent in a very misunderstood world where eroticism doesn’t even e...
I have a weakness for anything Viking and Alexander Skarsgård playing a revenge hungry man whose life is guided by venom was everything I wanted it to be. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the chaos and hatred playing out in a vast and harsh landscape where Amleth’s incredibly buff and anguished soul marauded without mercy.
By far my most anticipated film of the year, I devoured podcasts and articles before viewing (which I normally would avoid) but knew nothing would be able to take away from the unbelievable footage from Katia and Maurice Krafft and their unparalleled love story. Their obsession made me long for such passion and the real and unwavering love they so ...
It seemed fitting that the only film I have watched three times this year as well as delighting in the earlier YouTube installments where he garnered his famedom is my top hit. Whilst I normally err towards the dark and twisted side of films, Marcel had me right from the moment I first set eyes upon him. The titular shell, voiced by Jenny Slate, sh...
