  Ready or Not 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Aug 2019

  Tense, bloody, hilarious, and packed with pitch black commentary on the elitist class, Ready or Not has more than the makings of a perfect cult film! Impeccably shot, beautifully directed, and with a very committed performance from the A-game cast (especially Samara Weaving), this is a cinematic experience I will never forget.

  Midsommar 2019

  ★★★ Watched 27 Sep 2019

  One of the most unsettling films of the decade. Ari Aster’s talent shines here in creating an eerie, uninviting and tense atmosphere in a daytime setting. The strong cast elevates the otherwise directionless characters (mainly the supporting crew), slow pace and generic Cult-centered storyline.

  Blinded by the Light 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Dec 2019

  An absolutely delightful little film from the genius mind behind Bend it Like Beckham. A tale of identity, finding ones voice, and the journey of being accepted in a society historically unkind.

  For a British-Pakistani to identify with the words of an All-American musician like Bruce Springsteen - what can possibly be more weird yet wonderful than that?

  Guns Akimbo 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Sep 2019

  Daniel Radcliffe gives one of the best performances of his career as a goofball turned badass in this balls-to-the-wall, 80s synth driven video-game esque good time of a film. A blast from start to finish, with a grim yet playful supporting performance from Samara Weaving.
