Plays
"A Midsummer Night’s Dream" at the Bridge Theatre
"The return of director Nicholas Hytner’s outstanding collaboration with designer Bunny Christie to the stage is one of the best gifts to receive from the Bridge Theatre this summer"
Film
Heavyweight | OBSCURAE @ Raindance 2025
A riveting and well-made character study that goes deeper on the tenuous mind-space boxers manage in the lead up to the world's most beloved bloodsport.
Film
🇺🇸Materialists is All About Love, But Less Than The Sum of its Parts

Sweet and Short
ATTAGIRL! | OBSCURAE at TriBeCa
In what can only be described as the most colourful, explosive and beautifully kitchy Short I have had the pleasure to see this year, Klimovski rampages.

Film
OH, HI! | OBSCURAE at TriBeCa

Festivals
Twelve Moons | OBSCURAE at TriBeCa
A gripping portrait of the depths you can sink to when you're grief stricken and your husband truly hates you.
Festivals
Fior Di Latte | OBSCURAE at TriBeCa
Fiore Di Latte punctures wacky with doses of real, and Charlotte Ercoli uses the madness like an easel to paint a woefully accurate portrait of addiction.
Music
Princess of Power | MARINA Album Review
Marina’s new album is an invigorating blend of past, present and future, where vulnerability meets camp to birth pop perfection
