I must admit, I did not think there was a darker story hiding beneath the opening act of Pimpinero — I thought, uncharitably, that I was witnessing the crowning of a new, gritty Amazon franchise to rival ‘The Fast and the Furious’, or ‘Narcos’. Soon, it became evident that was not

The premise is rather simple - an older CEO, played by Nicole Kidman, soon finds out that one of the new Interns (Harris Dickinson) can tame dogs with a stern hand — which is code for ‘He’s a Dom’. They start an affair - Miss CEO, real name Romy, wants

As I entered the Press Screening, a TIFF Volunteer struck up a conversation with me - she lobbied to work this shift, to work this very screening, and would stand through the entire thing, just to see the film. There were murmurs on the street that it would be People’

In one of the best films at the festival, ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ brings to the western consciousness the question of Sudanese sovereignty in a world intent on keeping the land’s people dispossessed and removed. Through poetry, painting, remembering and a lot of song, people can learn of the strength
If you’re anyone of quality in my audience, then the stories contained in this film are not new, but they are presented with far more flair and grandeur than we are used to from our phones. Away from the international diplomatic political interpretation of events, From Ground Zero comprises

The Assessment makes a couple turns away from what seemed to be a fantastic premise — what’s the implication of the state meddling in reproduction? Instead, it watercolours over how hard parenting is, how hard apocalypses are, how terrible climate change is, the generals vibe of post-apocalypse tyranny, and the

SPOILERS below. ‘My Sunshine’ is a movie that sucks you in with the premise of innocent pre-teen love, then flips you over and guts you alive by showing you the reality of a gay man in a small town in what I assume to be an 80s/90s Japan, being

It was only 20 minutes in when I asked myself the question, ‘Did this guy rip off the play ‘Constellations’? Reader. The guy literally wrote ‘Constellations’. We Live in Time seems like a pretty typical take on a love story, with tragedy and ups and downs. The time bendiness reminded

What a feast of two episodes, at the edge of my seat the entire time only to drop the twist right when we’re leaving. As it should be. The Listeners is very deceptive, for reasons that will become obvious when you see the second episode, but for the first

I am not yet a mother, but to look with the eyes of one through this movie was at once a warning and a love letter. A true treat. Amy Adams once again earns her status as the most nuanced and intelligent performer of her time, putting in a fantastic

Ok, so the joke is over. That failed Venezuelan coup was actually very serious. Ok. Kind of serious. Ok. Listen. Ok, hold on. Men of War will give you a very clear and incredibly well organised and probably accurate account of the entire situation — one that seemed so opaque at

Any fan of Almodóvar will enjoy the hallmark trappings of his craft within this story — color, exposition, composition, socially inappropriate humour and fascination with death and disease from the dignified position. However — because of course — the script feels as if it thinks in Spanish and speaks in English. The characters
