  The Vanishing 1988

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 May 2024

  A deeply haunting film with effortless cinematography. Whilst there is a simmering sense of evil throughout, nothing can prepare you for that final revelation…. Easily one of the scariest non violent films ever

  Baby Reindeer 2024

  Highly compelling for the viewer. I sincerely hope it was cathartic for the writer. Brilliant piece of work

  Perfect Days 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Mar 2024

  A film that quietly immerses the viewer like morning mist. The environment and the daily routines are felt in such an organic and relatable way. 

  It’s somewhat disappointing yet unsurprising that others see the protagonist as invisible. But the triumph of his spirit and his contentment offset any real sense of pity.  

  A wonderful and transportive film that is a beacon of hope for people everywhere.

  Kill Your Friends 2015

  ★½ Watched 26 Jan 2024 2

  A very lazy and deeply unimaginative adaption of a decent novel. 

  It is like a series of automatic knee jerk reactions to the text. Everything one would expect and nothing more. This is not helped by lacklustre acting and a total lack of visually interesting shots. 

  For me this is a missed opportunity.

  The film not only suffers from a lack of rich cinematography and good acting. It also could have done with some original concepts and subplots added in…
