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”

ANDOR SEASON 2 REVIEW
Andor season two picks up a year after the events of season one and unfolds across the final four years leading up to the events of Rogue One and the inevitable fate of the show’s central character.

ANDOR SEASON 1 REVIEW
Tony Gilroy brings Cassian Andor back to the screen in Andor, a prequel series to the beloved Star Wars film Rogue One. Set in the early days of the Rebellion, the show follows Cassian’s journey from thief to pivotal figure in the fight against the Empire. When Andor was first announced, I was extremely sceptical.Continue reading “ANDOR SEASON 1 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”
THE LAST OF US SEASON 1 REVIEW
In the build-up to The Last of Us, I found myself both excited and incredibly nervous. As a lifelong fan of the game, I was worried it would end up being just another lacklustre video game adaptation—but I’m so glad to have been proven wrong. Both leads are excellent, with Bella Ramsey in particular standing out.Continue reading “THE LAST OF US SEASON 1 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
To wrap up the 2025 film award season, I’ve ranked and reviewed all ten of this year’s Best Picture nominees. I know it’s been a month since the Oscars, but better late than never, right? 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”
THE STUDIO SEASON 1 REVIEW
The Studio was a TV show I grew progressively more excited for. With all the marketing leading up to its release—whether it was a fantastic new trailer, incredible posters, or an announcement of the guest stars set to appear—it looked like it was shaping up to be something special. And I am delighted to say thatContinue reading “THE STUDIO SEASON 1 REVIEW”
