“Just because a man is an ally doesn’t mean that he is on your side.” I didn’t know much about the Nuremberg Trials that began in 1945, so this film turned out to be a genuinely insightful watch. I’ve always enjoyed war films, especially in recent years. Darkest Hour and 1917 were both brilliant and I’d comfortably add…
Tell Me Lies season three is back on Disney Plus, and it’s darker, messier, and more toxic than ever. The first three episodes have dropped, and while the season remains addictive, it’s starting to feel familiar and I’m still not fully convinced where it’s headed. Some twists might be predictable, but the performances and tangled drama…
“It really was an adventure of a lifetime.” Those are the final words spoken in One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, and they land with the kind of weight only a decade-long journey can earn. I started watching Stranger Things when I was 15 years old. Now I’m 25, and like the cast who grew…
“There are at least two sides of every story. Yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers, which means that someone is always lying … People might recognise my face; they maybe even know my name, but they will never know who I am.” That idea becomes the backbone of His and Hers, a thriller…
Movies this year have truly started out with a bang, and People We Meet on Vacation was easily one of my most anticipated films. I’m happy to say it really did deliver. From the opening moments, it felt like the kind of romance movie we don’t get enough of anymore. Originally a novel by Emily Henry, this…
I loved this show, which is why the overwhelmingly harsh critical response feels so baffling. Big newspapers and TV review shows really need to broaden their horizons. Nearly every review I’ve read has given Lynley a poor rating, and while critics are free to disagree, some of the reasoning feels unnecessarily severe. I also didn’t realise until…
Who would have thought that Ricky Gervais would finally seem old hat and dare I say it, boring. The creator of the hugely influential The Office and my personal favourite Extra’s has made some great stand up shows for Netflix as well as his hilarious time hosting The Golden Globes, but Mortality can’t be added…
I know this is a slightly different kind of review than what you might usually read, but no one really talks about comedy anymore. And honestly, I think right now we could all use a good laugh. With how negative the news cycle is and how much bad stuff people are constantly reading, comedy feels…
Run Away is a slow burner and honestly, it needs to be. This isn’t the kind of story you rush, because every layer is there for a reason. At the centre of it all is Simon Greene (James Nesbitt), a successful, devoted husband and father of three whose solid, comfortable life starts to unravel when his…
In my opinion, Stranger Things ended in the best possible way. Endings are hard especially for a show this loved, this long-running, and this layered but somehow the Duffer Brothers managed to pull it off. The finale was intense, emotional, clever, and most importantly, satisfying without being over-explained. The final fight scene alone proves how strong the…
