  Mandy 2018

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 May 2024

  An excellently acted cult story that expertly evolves into a gorey 70s fantasy revenge quest. Exciting new stuff from a director that makes us feel like we’re in capable hands despite being so early in his career. Plus great visuals

  Men 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 24 May 2024

  A tale of complex grief that creates a visual stunning reminder that the scariest thing really is man complete with some beautiful descents into surrealistic madness. The surrealism tends to drag as it often does though.

  Silver Linings Playbook 2012

  ★ Watched 26 Jul 2023

  A movie supposedly about mental health that does not touch the fact that one of the main characters has a crippling gambling addiction and gambled away the family home on a sports game. Not to worry though. They save the day by going double or nothing on a bet with their incompetent friendly neighbourhood bookie. All adversity is entirely derived and avoidable. This is made worse by the fact the acting chops of the cast make this film aggravatingly mildly enjoyable.

  The Lobster 2015

  ★★★★★ Watched 26 Jul 2023

  Strange in a very novel way which made the viewing experience captivating and thought provoking. Equal parts uncomfortable and funny as the best satires should be.
