    ★★★★

    A really brilliant written, designed, shot and performed piece of cinema! Mikey Madison filled this character with deep humanity and her performance was so incredibly layered. I wasn’t expecting the humour in the film, the three Armenian foot soldiers were so brilliantly performed and funny! Smart and honest filmmaking.

    A Real Pain

    ★★½

    It felt like this film was always on the verge of telling you something, but couldn’t quite get there. Not sure it’s an Oscar winning performance from Kieran Culkin.. but he was good and his character was a real pain to watch!

    Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

    ★★★

    An incredibly well produced film that’s partnered with a beautiful and understated performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, whose performances I often find don’t match the acclaim they attract. However, the film left me searching for the point of it. The film lacked that Tarantino factor we all crave when we commit to more than two hours of our lives (which we happily do) to watch one of his creations. To but it simply... this film doesn’t give me any overwhelming sense of like or dislike.

    Joker

    ★★★

    The joker is a good film and incredibly entertaining. However, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing for something less produced in all elements of its  filmmaking. Joaquin Phoenix turns in an incredibly strong performance, though at times it can creep into the indulgent. The film as a whole is a strong film, but for one reason or another it never hits that magical spot that cements it as a film for the ages that the hype built it up to be.
