Film Review – Mistress America (2015)
After the success of the loveable Frances Ha!, it is no surprise that one of the hottest tickets at this year’s Sundance Festival is Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig‘s subsequent feature collaboration, Mistress America.…
Film Review – True Story (2015)
In the past we have had some incredible dramatic pairings from famous Hollywood buddies: like Redford and Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or Affleck and Damon in Good Will Hunting. Sadly James…
EIFF 2015 Review – The Hallow
In what has been a somewhat unremarkable year for the horror genre thus far (minus It Follows), Corin Hardy‘s Irish flick The Hallow sadly refuses to buck the trend, despite some initial potential. Writer-director Hardy…
EIFF 2015 Review – The Stanford Prison Experiment
Direct from Sundance 2015, The Stanford Prison Experiment makes its way to the Edinburgh Film Festival and gives us a harrowing look at dark capabilities lurking in the human psyche – especially in relation to…
Watch Cobain:Heck Of Montage Clip Contains Unreleased Demo

Sundance 2015 Review – Last Days In The Desert (2015)
After some great highs (Tangerine, Strangerland, I’ll See You in My Dreams), my Sundance 2015 journey went out with a whimper thanks to the devastatingly mediocre Last Days in the Desert. Ewan McGregor stars as…

Sundance 2015 Review – Entertainment (2015)
Rick Alverson’s Entertainment is perhaps the most bizarre film of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Melancholy, disturbing, and occasionally unwatchable – it somehow lingers with us allowing its bleak sadness to continue to haunt well…
Sundance 2015 Review – Lila & Eve (2015)
Another feature tackling parental grief at this year’s Sundance Film Festival is the Lifetime produced Lila & Eve starring Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez. Whilst not as emotionally potent as the likes of Strangerland, Lila…
Sundance 2015 Review – Digging for Fire (2015)
Hooking us in with a murder-mystery themed premise, Digging for Fire revels in writer-director Joe Swanberg’s typical themes concerning marriage, parenting, and escaping from the routine formality of life. When house-sitting for a star client,…
Sundance 2015 Review – The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015)
Based on the graphic novel by Phoebe Gloekner, writer-director Marienne Heller‘s The Diary of a Teenage Girl feels like an energetic love-letter to the crossroads between female adolescence and womanhood. Minnie (Bel Powley), a teenage…
Sundance 2015 Review – Eden (2014)
Mia Hansen-Løve‘s love letter to nineties house music, Eden, has an undeniably astounding soundtrack and a stirring message about the power of music., but never completely engages its audience. Epic in scale, Eden, follows DJ…
Proud to be once again a…
