Film Reviews from a spectrum of opinions and perspectives
Film
There'll never be another Jurassic Park, the film too strong, too sharply drawn to recapture. So maybe we shouldn't try. Rebirth is in that register; beautifully shot, exciting, and understanding of the appeal of a silly diversion without much thought behind it.

A visually stunning film with superb writing, pacing and performances, Nawi: Dear Future Me is more than just a film about how selling underage girls into marriage is bad.
Sweet and Short
Directed with restraint and urgency, 'Bricked' is visually engaging and emotionally unnerving.
Festivals
'Bulldozer' and 'How to Translate a Miracle'
Deep Dive
Putting a pin on the debate pushed onto the work of every queer artist, where everything they create is treated as inherently political just for existing – much like the artists themselves –, I Saw the TV Glow (2024) is a visually stunning film that is purposely vague in its storytelling.
Festivals
Regina is a weird combination of both a coming-of-age tale and a gripping, mind-bending psychological thriller.
Reviews
A surprising, existential and experimental new entry into the iconic series that, while sometimes uneven, still provides more than enough juicy meat for horror fans to sink their teeth into.
Festivals
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
Good cinematography can obscure bad writing, and I'm not really sold on what Materialists is selling about us. The film has charm and disarms in funny little interludes, yet it's disinterested in anything besides the aesthetic.
