Jesse Armstrong’s Mountainhead marks a strong and confident directorial debut from the Succession creator, delivering a sharp, satirical take on tech billionaires and their detachment from societal consequences. While it doesn’t break new ground, it’s undeniably entertaining and makes for a fun and engaging watch. Armstrong clearly draws inspiration from his previous work on Succession,Continue reading “MOUNTAINHEAD REVIEW”

WARFARE REVIEW
Alex Garland yet again takes on the inherently political topic of war—only to say absolutely nothing. Garland has said he wanted to depict a realistic incident of warfare, and in that respect, he absolutely succeeds. The film captures the harshness and brutality of combat, and the immediate impact it has on the soldiers fighting—but that’sContinue reading “WARFARE REVIEW”
SINNERS REVIEW
I was lucky enough to attend an early screening of Sinners in IMAX 70mm, presented by director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Göransson. Experiencing the film in the format it was shot in, alongside the creative geniuses behind it, made for one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life—one that will stay with meContinue reading “SINNERS REVIEW”
FLOW REVIEW
If you had told me the plot of Flow before I watched it, I would have assumed it was just another light-hearted family film about animals learning the value of community. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. While Flow borrows some familiar story beats, it’s one of the most original and unique films I’ve seen in years.Continue reading “FLOW REVIEW”
2025 BEST PICTURE LINE-UP RANKED AND REVIEWED

As always, I don’t think the Academy got everything right. That said, they didn’t do too bad—six of the nomineesContinue reading “2025 BEST PICTURE LINE-UP RANKED AND REVIEWED”
MICKEY 17 REVIEW
While I can’t say I didn’t have a great time with Mickey 17, it still left a little more to be desired. Buried within all the chaos is a simpler, more intimate movie—one that, if fully realised, could have been my favourite film of the year. But ultimately, it doesn’t amount to much more than justContinue reading “MICKEY 17 REVIEW”
OSCAR 2025 REVIEW
That’s a wrap on the 2025 film awards season, and what a way to finish! Anora led the way with five wins, while Sean Baker made history as the first person ever to win four Oscars in one night for a single film—and every single one was well deserved. This is only my second post,Continue reading “OSCAR 2025 REVIEW”
OSCAR 2025 PREDICTIONS
BEST PICTURE: This has been an interesting awards season with so many different frontrunners. Anora was the early favorite after winning the Palme d’Or and becoming the first contender to receive a wide release. However, momentum began to shift toward The Brutalist and Emilia Perez after Anora was shut out at the Golden Globes. Anora’sContinue reading “OSCAR 2025 PREDICTIONS”
