Novocaine is the most pure unadulterated fun I have had a cinema in a while. It's full of creative violent action that fully embraces it's premise to the max, it's hilarious throughout, and Jack Quaid oozes charm. It helps that I really bought the central relationship; Quaid and Amber Midthunder have so much chemistry it really lets you believe the romance, which is pivotal because if that didn't work, the whole film just wouldnt work as well. A really pleasant surprise, for a film I thought looked like fun anyways.

Tangerine 2015
I was introduced to Sean Baker only last year with Anora, which is an all time favourite for me. Since then I've slowly been making my way through the rest of his filmography, and he really is becoming one of my favourite working directors.

Kneecap 2024

Is méar láir ghreannmhar, chaotic, agus an-tírghrá ar an gcóras é seo agus ceiliúradh iontach ar an nGaeilge. Anois, an raibh sé stuama an léirmheas seo a scríobh i nGaeilge? Abso-fucking-lutely. An bhfuil…

Evil Does Not Exist 2023
This film was absolutely mesmerising. It's breathtakingly beautiful to both look at and listen too, with one of the finest scores I have ever heard, and the slow, meditative direction coupled with the cinematography allows you to feel like youre a part of nature. It's thematically rich, somehow endlessly gripping, and the ending (although I'm still not fully sure what to make of it as I continue to decipher it in my mind) leaves a bang of an impact and has left me still pondering the film and it's ultimate meaning and message.
