  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Had heard nothing but good things about this film and glad I got the opportunity to see it at the cinema. The cinematography is gorgeous.

  Ralph Fiennes is superb as he always is, with a fantastic supporting cast - loved Stanley Tucci and Lithgow.

  Would not have expected a film about a bunch of men sat in a room voting to be as tense and dramatic as it was.

  Decent enough, Glen Powell is very charming. Not much more to say!

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

  Having found the original 1922 Nosferatu genuinely creepy, I was keen to see this, though cautious as I'm not really a fan of Eggers' style of melodrama.

  It looks good, but some of the scenes were Very Serious and came across as overdone. Lots of laughter in the screening I was in - at scenes and lines that were clearly not meant to be funny.

  Could not take the Vampyre seriously - the voice was just stupid.

  As he usually is, Willem Dafoe is the best thing in it.

  Saltburn 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Oct 2023

  Opening night film of the London film festival, and Saltburn did not disappoint. Barry Keoghan was superb as usual, and enjoyed the whole cast (Rosamund Pike delightful). Deliciously dark and perverse, enjoyed is perhaps the wrong word to use...but I loved it.
