  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Mar 2025

  So horrifying to bear witness to, but I’m glad I did.
  Less true crime podcasts and glamorising crime, and more of this one-shot style please. the fact you don’t look away, the banality of the setting, the fact that you as the viewer are one screen away from being a part of this world really cements the twisted way that the virus that is the manosphere and generational toxic masculinity infects youngins; it makes you understand alongside the characters the subtle…

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Jul 2023

  You go into the film, not knowing what to expect: you’ve seen some initial reviews about it being existential, pensive and pink, and you’ve had your own experiences playing with barbies and then quietly abandoning them as you’ve grown up.

  You leave a different person.

  This film ended up being a nuanced and honest exploration about femininity, womanhood and the poisonous impact of patriarchy, through the lens of a plastic doll. It made me reconsider barbies as not just dolls,…
