    Enemy at the Gates

    ★★

    If it was just a film about a battle between two snipers it would have been excellent, but this back-stabbing, love-triangle mess is painful to watch most of the time.

    I watched this film when I was a lot younger, and re-watching it now, I think the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia were doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    The Substance

    ★★★★½

    A brilliant genre flick where somehow the most unbelievable part of it is the finished build quality of the hidden door to the bathroom she creates! 

    From a director that just loves films and the filmmaking process; beautifully crafted, flowingly stylistic, and deeply thought provoking.

    ★★★★½

    Cutting satire of modern food and cuisine, with an intriguing thriller plot unravelling underneath. 
    Ralph Fiennes at his finest and Anya Taylor-Joy as a brilliant counter.
