Two days later, I am still utterly speechless. Killers of the Flower Moon is a masterclass in direction, cinematography, writing and acting, telling a harrowing yet important story about a tragic part of American history that many may not know about. It explores its themes of greed, racism, corruption and its plethora of other important topics extremely well, never once shying away from telling the ugly truth. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best, and Robert De Niro delivers…

Babylon 2022
2022 Ranked
Damien Chazelle RankedDamien Chazelle, my friend, you are on one hell of a streak. Four movies that are all incredible - bravo. I was nervous about Babylon after seeing the mixed reviews, but I needn't have been. It's as crazy, loud, in-your-face and chaotic as everybody says, but in the best way possible.

We're All Going to the World's Fair 2021
Approximately once a year, a movie comes out that I simply do not like as much as everybody else and can't get my head around why it's so widely loved; this is that movie. For once, I'm going to stick by my opinion and not be swayed by the internet; I hated it. Besides a pretty creepy atmosphere, a couple of scares and a decent lead performance, I forced my way through this movie and the run time dragged. Nothing…

Bones and All 2022
I watch a lot of films, and I enjoy a lot of films. However, it’s extremely rare for a film to come along and completely sweep me off my feet, take my breath away and remind me why cinema is the most important thing in my life.
This film means the absolute world to me, it came exactly at the right time, and I’m delighted to share my review for it. Please give it a read if you have a couple of minutes.
