What I think about films, TV and celebs!
I became aware of Luca Guadagnino thanks to his excellent films A Bigger Splash and Call Me By Your Name, so I was naturally going to check his remake of the 1977 Italian horror film Suspiria, even though that genre isn’t my bag and it’s not the sexy romance film I know him for. And I’m glad I did, because he has just nailed it again.
I saw The Miseducation of Cameron Post, which won the Grand Jury prize at the main Sundance Film Festival, at Sundance London just days after I had read Emily Danforth‘s novel, and because of this I couldn’t help but be nitpicky, noticing all the differences between the book and the film instead of appreciating the film for what it was.
Been a bit behind with my September cinema preview – but here we are! Better late than never! Here are my recommendations for films hitting UK cinemas this September.

The Venice Film Festival kicks off on Wednesday and I’m going to be there for the first time (AAAAAAHHH!) It is all very exciting, and here are the films I am most hyped about seeing.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post, which won the Grand Jury prize at the main Sundance Film Festival, was the movie I was most excited to see at Sundance London and to prepare I decide to read Emily Danforth‘s novel and because I only finished it a week before seeing the film I couldn’t help but be nitpicky, noticing all the differences between the book and the film instead of appreciating the film for what it was.
Sundance London, bringing us highlights from the Sundance Film Festival, is coming to the capital later this week and I cannot wait! Here are the films I want to see:
Atomic Blonde comes out today and I bloody loved it (read review here) and mostly because Charlize Theron portrays such a badass heroine who just wipes the floor with everyone she comes up against. She is basically awesome.
I loved the 2014 comedy Bad Neighbours and since it did so well at the box office it was no surprise a sequel was ordered. I was wary of it though because I didn’t think it could beat the original, be as remotely funny or be anything more than a repeat of previous events. But I didn’t need to worry – Bad Neighbours 2 is brilliant and such a laugh.
It’s that time of the month again – where I choose the releases I’m looking forward to in May. There isn’t a huge amount of good ‘uns but my picks below look pretty damn sweet.
