I can’t promise you’re going to leave this film feeling that goody goody fuzzy wuzzy feeling. Maybe a tiny bit. What you’ll leave the theatre with is relief. In Colman Domingo’s hands, you are always safe. However, in an incredibly rare turn of events, it’s

Kneecap is a party

Oh my god holy fuck this was amazing. So I’d never heard of Kneecap before - seated in the Imperial Core as I am, I haven’t even heard it around! Which is why this film making it to theatres, and Fassbender’s endorsement, is truly as much a

‘Hit Man’, and the new Low-Mid Budget Era

There is something so fulfilling about being right, and there, and on it, and around, and paying attention. I have been a fan of Linklater’s for a while now, and especially his approach to filmmaking resonates with me deeply. There is, simultaneously, a seriousness and irreverence that means he
