This film surprised me a lot, as you wouldn’t expect a comedic film to work with the main theme being PTSD, a mysterious communication with a dead army friend and a fractious relationship with a grandfather. It shouldn’t hold together, but in fact it works like a charm. Merit is a US veteran who learns…
“I have low tolerance for people who bitch, but if you make an effort, I can teach you the rest.” This is what Officer Harmon (Troian Bellisario) says to her rookie on his first day on the job as a patrol officer on the streets on LA. This Amazon Prime TV Show doesn’t waste any…
I want to start by writing this review with the second episode of APPLE TV’s talking heads show as it was the most powerful. This two-part documentary, which focuses on the struggles and hard-fought gains of black performers in Hollywood was inspirational and educational. An impressive roll call of Oscar winners and superstars told their…
This heartbreaking, frustrating and insane true crime show has knocked Netflix’s Adolescence from the number 1 spot. Gone Girls is a three-part docuseries where Director Liz Garbus examines the case of alleged killer Rex Heuermann and the trials and tribulations that led to him finally being arrested for the murder of young sex workers. The…
This was the penultimate movie I watched at Manchester Film Festival; I didn’t really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. It’s a worthy addition to a great roster of movies that were on show for the week. Persian/Indian Director Sasha Nathwani has mostly made his name making short films, and his first feature,…
“Life is beautiful and messy and complicated and sometimes it doesn’t look the way you think it’s supposed to look and that’s okay. Keep going and always be brave.” This was the whole message of this film. I think that the established film critics have got this wrong and showing a bit of snobbery and…
Julian Bird and Stephanie Okoye are appearing in this new two-hander that is making its premiere at the White Bear Theatre from the 8th to the 26th of April and they couldn’t be any more excited to start the run. Based on Julian’s real experiences, it tells the story of a psychiatrist’s struggles with poor resources and…
While a negative buzz around an upcoming movie does not mean that it will in reality be a flop with audiences, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs lives up to its poor reputation. In a way it’s worse, as it doesn’t have controversial ideas that would at least make it the subject of conversation and…
For all the people who love a period drama and likes a show that is based on true events just like me, Miss Austen could become a BBC classic. It is an adaptation of Gill Hornby’s 2020 best-selling book of the same name. It might be better than Bridgerton because it just feels more authentic….
It’s been such a long time since I’ve read critics slating a film this badly right after its release. Rotten Tomatoes critics rating is 15% and I tend to agree with them on this occasion, all pretty damning although the audience reviews are on 72%. I’m quite surprised about the poor rating because it has…
