In The Heights is a proper big-screen summer blockbuster and a feel-good musical that’ll leave a smile on your face. Clocking in at 2 hours 20 minutes, the film does tend to get stuck in a rut of repeating the same themes and ideas. However, the songs are pretty good, the lyrics catchy and the dazzling colours and breathtaking cinematography will l...
Who knew that a little movie involving a pig and Nicholas Cage could invoke such emotion! Pig isn’t a ghastly modern remake of Charlotte’s Web or Babe: Pig In The City, but instead a surprisingly emotional examination of a man and his best friend. The story centers on a truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregonian wilderness. However, he’s force...
Raya and the Last Dragon is a wonderful movie. It’s a gorgeously rendered, distinctly Asian-flavoured picture that combines adventure, comedy and thrills to excellent effect. The story zips by at a breathless pace, the action comes thick and fast, while the emotional climax rounds everything out with a neat little origami bow. Raya and the Last Dra...
The Suicide Squad is a real marmite movie; you’ll either love it or hate it. This superhero flick is a soft reboot/sorta sequel to the original film and while a couple of characters survive the jump to this movie (namely Harley Quinn and Amanda Waller) it’s largely a whole new ensemble to play with. An ensemble that feels very similar to that of 20...
Both epic in scale and hitting close to home, Space Sweepers tells the tale of a crew of misfits in a world aiming to leave imperfections behind. It’s 2092 and the Earth is unsurprisingly (if depressingly) in tatters. Capitalism wins the century as one corporation’s leader, a scientific mastermind and self-proclaimed saviour of the world, offers a ...
Oxygen is a clever little film, one that keeps you guessing right up to the very end. Propped up by a stunning performance from Mélanie Laurent, Netflix’s latest cerebral thriller takes inspiration from 127 Hours, Saw and Buried, blending them up together, to deliver an enthralling French picture. Gasping for air, a woman wrapped in a strange organ...
How do you move past the death of a family member? How do you replace that gaping hole in your life? And what happens if said family is a dysfunctional pressure cooker of emotion? Step forward Little Big Women. The death in question here belongs to the estranged husband of a domineering matriarch, Lin Shoying. After leaving her life 20 years ago, h...
Directed by Chloe Zhao, Nomadland is a quiet, arthouse picture that explores the nomadic lifestyle. All the highs and lows are examined in unflinching detail (including Frances McDormand defecating in a bucket), unsurprisingly picking up several Oscars along the way. The story centers on Fern, a woman who loses everything in the Great Recession. Sh...
Minari is a simple but highly effective movie. It’s a slice of life picture first and foremost, with likable characters and a lot of strong themes around immigration and hard work. The story centers on Jacob Yi, a chicken sexer who has big dreams to start his own farm. Determined to make his dream a reality, he moves his family across the country, ...
The Power Of The Dog is a slow, quiet, thought provoking movie. It’s certainly not for everyone, and you absolutely need to go into this with no distractions. There’s no hand-holding here; the themes are all scattered like puzzle pieces across the 2 hour run-time. And it’s up to you to piece them together in a way that makes sense. The beauty with ...
- The Power of the Dog" There are good films every year. If we're lucky, there are a few great films. But there are few films that actually feel like they make time stop.
- Drive My Car" A story of grief and healing, "Drive My Car" is one of those “nothing happens” movies in which everything happens. The action is largely internal, expressed through dialogue and silence and by watching the characters do what they do.
- Licorice Pizza" Paul Thomas Anderson's 2018 "Phantom Thread" was a tightly-coiled romantic melodrama (albeit with a maniacal streak), a period piece taking place in 1950s London.
- "Summer of Soul" With more than 50 hours of fragile videotape of a 1969 series of concerts in Harlem to restore and pare down, director Questlove (Ahmir Thompson) said he “just kept it on 24-hour loop, no matter where I was, in the house or in the world.
