Review: The Lighthouse (2019)

Posted on March 13, 2020 by

THE LIGHTHOUSE is an experience, and no mistake, but it’s an experience I’d struggle to sell. Much like director Robert Eggers’ previous film THE WITCH, it’s fascinating, but it’s an acquired taste. Two lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) … Continue reading →

Review: The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019/20)

Posted on March 1, 2020 by

If there’s an adjective you don’t tend to associate with Armando Iannucci, it’s sincere. Witty and incisive, sure, but not sincere. But that’s the way he and regular co-writer Simon Blackwell play THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD, Charles Dickens’ … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Eighth Grade (2018)

Posted on February 21, 2020 by

Review in Brief: Mid90s (2018)

Posted on February 21, 2020 by

MID90s absolutely feels authentic, of a particular place and time. Any skater, or wannabe skater will see some truth here. You really grow to care for these kids, despite the often stupid decisions they make. They’re boys letting off stream … Continue reading →

Review: Birds of Prey (2020)

Posted on February 15, 2020 by
