A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Antonio Campos, Paulo Campos, Directed by Antonio Campos. Boasting arguably the best, and certainly the most fascinating, ensemble of the year, and therefore ‘The Devil All the Time’ was always destined to receive a lot of attention when it dropped on Netflix. However, this is certainly not a traditional […]

The Duchess (2020) – TV Review
In recent years, multiple female stand up comedians have finally been given the opportunities that were usual saved for their male counterparts and have been able to lead (and often create) their own TV shows. This time, the honour falls to Katherine Ryan, the constantly funny guest on many panel shows and a strong stand […]
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written and Directed by Charlie Kaufman. Anyone who has seen his previous work will know that Charlie Kaufman is an incredibly talented writer who since becoming a writer/director has delved even deeper into the human psyche and his work has grown increasingly inaccessible for general audiences. This continues even more than […]
Tenet (2020) – Review
A Warner Bros Picture, Written and Directed by Christopher Nolan. When it comes to movies in 2020, there is simply no competition when it comes to the most talked about, it is Tenet. The main reason for this is that throughout the entire pandemic the Warner Bros release, spearheaded very much by director Christopher Nolan, […]
DC Fandome – Reflection
Almost three weeks have now passed since the spectacular virtual event that was ‘DC Fandome’ (and we are a few days away from the second, less anticipated part of the event), and while I did initial reaction to all the major announcements and trailers that were released, I now want to do a reflection on […]
The New Mutants (2020) – Review
A 20th Century Picture, Written by Josh Boone, Knate Lee, Directed by Josh Boone. When this film was originally shot, Fox were still an individual movie studio and were riding high off their R-Rated X-Men spin-off films ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Logan’, so giving the green light to another spin-off, this time an approximation of the horror […]
Mulan (2020) – Review
A Walt Disney Picture, Written by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek, Elizabeth Martin, Directed by Niki Caro. On the face of it, this is a film you would want to massively champion. A $200 Million Disney blockbuster, featuring an all Asian cast and is the most expensive film ever directed by a woman. However, […]
Semi-Detached (2020) – TV Review
Recent years has seen an renaissance of ‘prestige’ comedy in Britain where the likes of ‘Fleabag’ and ‘Derry Girls’ manage your perfectly mix important subject matters with genuine humour, resulting in some incredibly nuanced and enjoyable TV. However, this rise has also coincided with the fall in the ‘farce’ and ‘laugh a minute’ comedies that […]
For the Sake of Vicious – Fantasia Review
Sometimes when you see a film for the first time, you can just instantly tell that it is going to divide people, and this is certainly one of them. ‘For the Sake of Vicious’ is very aptly named, as it is packed full of seemingly senseless violence and real terror. The film has a tight […]
The Columnist – Fantasia Review
Hell hath no fury like a woman trolled! Despite any genre trappings and social media commentary that occurs here, at the very heart of this film is the female rage and the feeling of “enough is enough” when it comes to the way many men have been treating women for centuries, whether it is physical […]
