London Film Festival: Blaze Review

“You are not broken”: Del Kathryn Barton tells the charming but potent story of a child’s road to recovery — Del Kathryn Barton’s debut is lightning in a bottle; I have seen nothing like it and I doubt I will again.

London Film Festival: Joyland Review

“Sometimes I feel I have nothing that’s my own. It’s either borrowed or stolen from someone else”. — Saim Sadiq’s Joyland is not only impressive for its current prestige, being the first Pakistani film to premiere at Cannes Film Festival. Nor is it only impressive for then winning the Jury Prize and the Queer Palm awards. …

London Film Festival: EO Review

Jerzy Skolimowski takes us through the deep and dark world of animal cruelty and exploitation. — Joint winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, EO, made its way to my home city and it was just as harrowing as the first time I watched it. Jerzy Skolimowski’s masterfully soulful film forces us to experience a complex and cruel world through the lens of a donkey. …

I feel like this is in the same vein as upcycling trends where people thrift clothes just to resell for twice the price. This is another layer of disrespect to artists that is so exacerbated thanks to social media trends.

Final Cut: A Biting Comedy and Commentary

As impressive as a 30-minute continuous take may be, I found myself in a daze watching Final Cut, wondering whether I’d walked into the wrong theatre or if the wrong film was showing. Michel Hazanavicius promised me a zombie cult horror and what I saw in those 30 minutes was…

James Gray’s Armageddon Time: Cannes Review

The feeling of being on the cusp consumed much of the late 20th century. In the United States, the constant threat of nuclear war and the Reagan administration, it would have been impossible to feel that some existential implosion was not on the precipice.

From social faux pas to admin nightmares, my year abroad stripped my character down and built it up again. — My mother used to tell me that there’s no use bashing your head against a brick wall, ‘it doesn’t hurt the wall’.

A Reading Slump Antidote: 7 Fast-Paced Books to Get You Back on Your Feet

It’s inevitable that we all fall into the ever-frustrating reading slump. Let me show you the books that were my godsend — We always jump into the new year with a tremendous sense of hubris or resignation. By March, the true colours of our endeavours become undeniably apparent. January is the time for overambition, eagerness, and golden-hearted delusion.
