  Black Bag 2025

  Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Accents all over the place, cheek fillers penetrating the screen, diet Ocean’s 11 score to scenes of Fassbender fishing in wellies, film of the decade maybe?

  Lynn + Lucy 2019

  Thanos: I’m the greatest cinematic villain of all time.
  
  Janelle: Hold my hairdryer.

  A Greek tragedy set in working class Essex. Fyzal Boulifa is the love child of Loach and Arnold, but still has confidence enough in his direction (the use of baby blues and the tight boxed frames that cause suffocation for both characters and audiences) that he can’t be called a rip-off of either. It’s very annoying that this is his feature film debut. 

  Also debuting is Roxanne…
