  Waves 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Wow! Just Wow! 
  So many things to say about ‘Waves’ and i’m not even sure where to start but it’s so elegantly crafted, the use of aspect ratios to show the feelings of the characters during the whole film is used so very expertly and I just think that every casted member played their part so so well!  I love finding films I don’t know too much about and then just being in complete and utter awe! 
  Beautifully raw, proper ‘edge of your seat’ stuff  and a story that’ll leave you just completely destroyed and heartbroken for every character.

  ‘The Penguin Lessons’ had me & the 1000 in the cinema, laughing all the way through and…

  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Feb 2025 2

  Very pleasantly surprised by this! 
  Going into this I fully expected it to be your bog standard musical but i’m happy that I was proven wrong. It’s a different take on a classic story and it works perfectly, it has so many different themes such as how you should never judge someone by what’s on the outside but what’s on the inside and what they stand for, as well as how the propaganda spread in the news, whether it be…
