I’m very glad I procrastinated on writing this review, as recent events (the US Election) have added a new colour to the film. A good film speaks to the times, a great film speaks to all times. Gladiator, and its sequel, are those kinds of films. Regardless of the

A comprehensive and detailed account of the history of the Turkish/Greek Cypriot conflicts in Cyprus, “The Divided Island” is at times a very tough watch, but it is a vital one. Especially in the current political climate across the world, generations are often emotionally removed from the consequences of

In a strangely emotional and predictably hilarious 1.5hrs, ‘Grand Theft Hamlet’ stages Shakespeare. I say that clear-eyed, as I know there must be parts of the film that simply could not have been organic. However, the story they told of isolation, loneliness and a search for order and expression

Written by Anna Shakour/Анна Шакур English Review - SPOILER ALERT! A Cinderella story where the clock strikes 12 a little too early… Anora is one of those films that you just KNOW is going to be great. It is what the trailer shows and more - romantic, chaotic, entertaining,
In the midst of the American Presidential Election, the subject matter of this George Clooney-produced Documentary couldn’t be more pressing.

Ghost Story! It’s actually a ghost story you guys, fair warning! Adapted from the August Wilson play, ‘The Piano Lesson’ is theatre.

SPOILERS - BEWARE & SLIGHT TW: Graphic Birthing scenes Before watching the sequel to the 80’s gem, I’ll be honest I didn’t have HUGE expectations for how it would turn out. I would have been happy with a solid but not too flashy storyline, some funny call-backs
