Alice Through the Looking Glass: Film Review
May 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment
My reaction to 2010’s Alice in Wonderland was distinctly average – it was ‘meh’, alright but forgettable – so I wasn’t massively looking forward to this sequel, which has taken a big six-year gap and switched directors from Tim Burton to James Bobin. The box office takings were huge, but this sequel still feels unwarranted.

Crimson Peak: Film Review
October 18, 2015 by Leave a Comment
I am not a big fan of horror movies, nor do I see everyone’s fascination with Guillermo del Toro. But I love Mia Wasikowksa, Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain individually so having them all in Crimson Peak was just a dream for me, not to mention them being dressed in the most stunning costumes. Crimson Peak is stylish, spooky and oozing in gothic atmosphere and tension.

Madame Bovary: LFF Film Review
October 20, 2014 by 1 Comment
As a huge fan of Mia Wasikowska, I simply had to go and see Madame Bovary at the London Film Festival. She is superb in it, like the rest of the cast, in this adaptation of Flaubert’s classic novel.
Wasikowska stars as Emma Bovary, a woman who has just married a small-town doctor and moved to a rural village in 19th Century France. She soon becomes disappointed in her life and embarks on affairs to advance her social status. She also buys expensive goods beyond her means and her lavish lifestyle soon brings the Bovarys into debt which they cannot repay.
