CODA (2021) Review

April 1, 2022March 31, 2022 Ben

There is a strange balancing act that CODA attempts for the first two-thirds at least. On one hand you have a movie which seemingly tells a straight and realistic story of a CODA (child of deaf family), as Emilia Jones’ … Continue reading CODA (2021) Review

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) Review

March 2, 2022March 1, 2022 Ben

It seems that gone are the days of the “classic” Disney Princess and if young girls want a role model that kicks-ass, is assertive and holds the responsibility of the whole world in her grasp, Disney is one of the … Continue reading Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) Review

Spencer (2021) Review

February 16, 2022 Ben

Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer will be recognised as one of the all-time great biopic performances.

Promising Young Woman (2020) Review

November 6, 2021November 3, 2021 Ben

Some roles can define careers and most will ultimately lead to the big Oscar win, or at least a nomination. For Carey Mulligan, it is no different and her role as Cassandra in Promising Young Woman could very well be … Continue reading Promising Young Woman (2020) Review

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Review

June 3, 2020 Ben

An interesting person does not always make for an interesting movie. Mr (Fred) Rogers is the perfect example of this. The documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” captured the life, essence and appeal of Mr Rogers perfectly, showcasing his impact on … Continue reading A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Review

No Country for Old Men (2007) Review

March 1, 2020 Ben

I’ve never been on the Cohen brother’s bandwagon. Where some people see genius, I see convoluted plotting, snail-pace story-telling and sometimes arrogant stylised techniques. Aside from the True Grit remake and parts of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, I don’t … Continue reading No Country for Old Men (2007) Review

Rocky Month: Rocky II (1979) Review

April 23, 2019April 23, 2019 Ben

Rocky was a movie that didn’t need a sequel. It ended as the perfect underdog story and showcased one of Sylvester Stallone’s best performances. The film was a huge success, winning Best Picture at the Oscars, so a sequel seemed to … Continue reading Rocky Month: Rocky II (1979) Review

Oscars 2019: Roma (2018) Review

March 12, 2019 Ben

Whether you enjoy Roma or not will be entirely dependent on whether you enjoy movies that lack any actual narrative. To say that Roma has no story may be oversimplifying things slightly and a disservice to director Alfonso Cuaron but if … Continue reading Oscars 2019: Roma (2018) Review
