Quadratura (2020) Short Film Review
Short films often go under-appreciated due to the simple fact that there’s a lack of awareness regarding the short film as a valid medium. There’s no theatrical release, rarely is there a big name actor/director to rally an audience behind a short film. But the truth is it that there a lot of value to […]

Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) Review
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD My knowledge of this film sprouted very quickly. I had heard of writer-director Eliza Hittman developing a new project, but I lost touch with it and forgot about it before it came to fruition.

Waves (2019): Review
Probably spoilers. Read at your own discretion. Waves lives in me now. Somewhere around the forty-minute mark, it crawled inside my veins and made a space for itself in my bloodstream. If you think I’m being hyperbolic, perhaps you’re right, but that’s what it felt like to me. In fact, there weren’t many things I […]

Reacting To The 92nd Academy Award Nominees
So today, whilst I was at work, the latest batch of Oscar nominations were released. I refrained from looking on my breaks and instead waited until I was in the comfort of my own home so I could react to what was inevitably going to be a messy, yet predictable set of nominees. There were […]

1917 (2019): Review
I love movies. Gosh, I love movies. Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves may have proclaimed those words, but I have co-opted this as a placeholder for what I want to say about Sam Mendes’ latest release, 1917.
