House of Gucci – Review Carmen Paddock November 27, 2021 Reviews When a film takes every chance at extravagance, the chance of falling is equal or greater to the chance of flying. House of Gucci takes this gamble, and while it might not pay off entirely, the big-budget...
Bliss – Review Chris Edwards February 5, 2021 Reviews Imbued with playful telekinetic powers, seeking vengeance on roller-skaters is just part of the mischief Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek get up to in Bliss, a slick and thoughtful dissection of reality. Who can...
The Roads Not Taken – Review Josefine Algieri September 10, 2020 Reviews This film was previously reviewed in February 2020 as part of our Berlinale Film Festival coverage. The gradual loss of a person to dementia is an incredibly painful process to witness; Sally Potter draws...

Lessons In Love – Review Madeline Joint September 28, 2015 Reviews Lessons in Love is not just boring, it's not just crude, it's hopelessly pointless. The film is horribly alienating – equating Lord Byron's romantic rule breaking with a privileged professor who sleeps...
Everly – Review Stephen O'Nion June 27, 2015 Reviews Everly has a decent gimmick: one woman, one apartment, one daughter to save via a duffle bag full of cash. Its action compressed into that one location, there exists a recognisable awareness of the need for...
