Bo Burnham: Inside 2021
If you had an existential crisis after watching Make Happy then get ready to be damn near suicidal, but in the funkiest way possible with Bo Burnham's instantly iconic comeback: Inside.
Making the most meta return to comedy in history, the agonisingly self aware White Boi shows these past few years have changed him and turned him into an even more agonisingly self aware White Man. And in true return to form brings us to hell and back with him…

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events 2004
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I can't even begin to describe how much this story means to me. And while I mostly refer to the books when I say this I unabashedly add the film to this. I understand how Dan Handler, as well as many others felt about this adaptation, but I'm speaking now in place of my 9-year-old self. That kid was going through a lot at the time, but a lot of those problems seemed to be drowned out in a world…

Poor Things 2023
The biggest waste of potential of great resources.

This is one of the worst cases of Born Sexy Yesterday trope I’ve ever…

He Loves Me… He Loves Me Not 2002
I watched this with my mum as a teenager because we were fans of Audrey Tautou. At first I'll admit I was disappointed, believing this would be an ordinary rom-com without much of the com. I was ready to rant about what waste of Tautou's potential it was turning out to be. However, something else was bothering me. Something I couldn't shake off about the storytelling.
Then I got halfway through the film.
Needless to say I was left scarred,…

The Piano 1993
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
To say I was disappointed by this is the understatement of the year. What a waste of potential. Potential in beautiful cinematography, score, acting and even in a story whose premise could have gone a million more interesting ways. Or at least not one so repulsive at every turn I thought I’d be sick at times. To call this a “romance” when it’s literally just a woman being sexually abused nonstop played as “tenderness” and “passion” is incomprehensible. To call…
