The Dissident: Film Review
February 25, 2021
I was gripped by the Jamal Khashoggi case when the Saudi journalist disappeared after going inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018 and even though I followed the headlines closely, I learned so much more from watching The Dissident, a shocking, eye-opening documentary.

I Care a Lot: Film Review
February 20, 2021
I knew I Care a Lot would be very much my cup of tea when I found out Rosamund Pike would be playing a character as deliciously dark and wicked as Amy Dunne in Gone Girl and I was not wrong – this is my favourite new release of 2021 so far.

February 19, 2021

February 15, 2021

February 12, 2021
I love Kristen Wiig and I was so excited to see her leading a movie with her Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo for the first time. I had the highest hopes for their latest co-writing project, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar, given how much I loved their work on Bridesmaids, but I’m afraid to report that it’s bad and really not funny.

February 10, 2021
Cathy Yan’s debut feature Dead Pigs received critical acclaim and caught the attention of Margot Robbie when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018 and landed her a blockbuster directing gig in the form of 2020’s Birds of Prey – but then it never got released. Finally, after three years, Dead Pigs is coming out.

News of the World: Netflix Film Review
February 9, 2021
I love Tom Hanks – who doesn’t?! – so I happily tuned into News of the World, even though Westerns aren’t my favourite genre, and was rewarded by a heartwarming central relationship and an emotionally affecting ending.
