  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Jul 2023

  We live in an era of Andrew Tates. One where feminism has been eradicated from the conversation by people who think it's cringe, and the thing filling its void is a worldview dominated by men who refuse to understand women. This is an era where men are afraid to reckon with the very real nuances of masculine socialisation, even as it becomes more and more important for them to do so. Gender impacts all of our lives. It is one…

  Five Broken Cameras 2011

  ★★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2022

  'Within the space, an olive tree had stood,
  A sacred shade, a venerable wood,
  For vows to Faunus paid, the Latins' guardian god.
  Here hung the vests, and tablets were ingrav'd,
  Of sinking mariners from shipwrack sav'd.
  With heedless hands the Trojans fell'd the tree,
  To make the ground inclos'd for combat free.'
  -The Aeneid, Book 12

  Harrowing and hard to watch but completely and utterly necessary. A story about innocent people having their livelihoods uprooted and taken away from…

  "A bukkake of blood"

  A remake of Heathers by and for the clinically insane. We were promised a bukkake of blood and it's precisely what we got in every sense of the term. It's Troma, so there's a trigger warning for anyone and everyone. Even with it's undeniable mean streak though, there's a specific kind of hard-to-explain sensitivity to it's raunchy and sometimes evil sense of humour. Generally, most of the laughs come from bad people getting what…

  We're All Going to the World's Fair 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 May 2022 2

  The film I've wanted to make for the longest time but could never put into words. I'm not even mad because I feel genuinely inspired by this and I'm glad Jane Schoenbrun was the one to make it.

  In the best way possible, feels like a 3am YouTube conspiracy binge. It shares as much of it's DNA with LonelyGirl15 and the Mandela Catalogue as it does with Lynch, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Shunji Iwai. Truly unsettling in a "can't keep your…
