A joyous watch, despite some cringe and dated elements. The shot of Jess curling the ball round the washing line of saris was too good. Above all, a lovely celebration of cultures.

The Royal Tenenbaums 2001
Thought this might go the way of a lot of Wes Anderson – amusing and beautifully stylised yet a bit hollow – but it really won me over as it progressed. So many memorable moments and quirks, and what a soundtrack. Gene Hackman was also brilliant, RIP

Mickey 17 2025
Absolutely bizarre… Anyone expecting another Parasite will be disappointed, but certainly cut from the same cloth as Okja and Snowpiercer. Enjoyed the political commentary but was very on the nose at times. Robert Pattinson really drives it with a stellar performance, and the plot of course lends itself to showcasing his range.

Past Lives 2023
Really moved me. The camerawork is stunning, with so many memorable panning and tracking shots, the composition of each frame delicately crafted. It leaves a lot unsaid, but that’s the beauty of it; the depth of their connection is intimated through every micro-expression and moment of silence. This is a real love story, you can keep your One Day.
