Maria: Angelina Jolie in her element.

If you love anything I reccomend you, you will simply adore ‘Maria’. It is a visual feast, a compassionate and beautiful symphony of moments from the Diva’s life, a musical tapestry, an uplifting and empowering narrative, and did I mention it was GORGEOUS to look at? Angelina Jolie stars

The (aesthetic) Ballad of Suzanne Césaire

Know your history! I was born in ‘96, and by the time I was old enough to know British Music, let alone Black British Music, my tastes were decidedly set on pop. I had never been exposed to 2-Tone, or to the history of Black artists in the UK that

Anora: Ani, are you OK?

OK. The moment you’ve all been waiting for. Anora does a great job of insisting you’re not watching what you think you’re watching. Aside from the impeccably kind and respectful handling of sex workers, you are going to be told, nay, rallied into ignoring your first instincts.

I’m not going to say this film won’t surprise you. It truly will, in ways you cannot comprehend yet. The intrigue and passion and speed and patience and beauty alone will astound you. What I will say is whatever prediction you make at the start, will probably be
