House of Gucci: Review
Following my positive (yet kind of lukewarm) response to The Last Duel, I was hoping that Ridley Scott’s second directorial venture this year, House of Gucci, would turn the tables a little and give me something to chew on. On paper, it’s a lot more up my alley than The Last Duel: a Lady Gaga-led…

Spencer: Review
“They know everything.“ “They don’t.” Those were the last lines of the first trailer that was released for Spencer, Pablo Larrain’s latest quasi-biopic focusing on the intimate personal life of a famous woman, and they are quite good at setting the tone for how it unravels.

April 2020 Film Round-Up
Okay about three seconds ago I decided to start a new series on this blog, a monthly series that recaps everything that I watched this month and what I thought about it.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS EPISODE IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I have a strange relationship with the Star Wars franchise.

Marriage Story (2019): Review
As always, mild spoilers below! It’s safe to say I was very excited for this one. I’m a huge Baumbach fan, so I was highly anticipating a movie where he tackles a personal divorce story propped up by a talented cast that garnered a lot of festival acclaim. After last week’s dive into The Irishman,…
