  A Quiet Place: Day One 2024

  ★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  I love sentimentality, it’s becoming harder to find in global blockbusters - but you can’t have a film with this much death/mutilation/terror - feel so saccharine. 

  There’s a lot to like. It’s got a wonderful visual style and the feeling of an isolated New York descending into Hell is a cool one. Reminds me of Halo 3 ODST. Shame that’s just a better story.

  Girl 2023

  It’s mad watching a film you’ve worked on in the cinema - this is the first time that’s ever happened for me and I remember so much of it from behind the camera - or the bushes lol.

  The Northman 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2022

  ‘The Northman’ manages to be extremely faithful to the structure and style of Norse Sagas, whilst also satisfying more modern Hollywood storytelling. As grateful as I am that we get the scale that only big studio money could bring, I feel like Eggers’ vision is neutered by this marriage. The film truly shines at its more nightmarish and unconventional, but never revels in these scenes enough.

  That being said, it is still one of my favourite films I’ve seen in recent times, and an oddity I’m very grateful  for amidst current releases.
