Snakes and God feature heavily in this trailer, so if you suffer from ophiophobia or theophobia maybe give this one a miss (but remember those terms for your next pub quiz). The trailer for this tale of god-fearing, snake-rearing folk (below) feels slow-moving but creepy, with closed doors and an increasingly scared young woman, plus… Sssssss….. I mean shhhh! All quiet for the “Them That Follow” trailer Read More
Wonder Woman 1984 – first look poster
*** My four-star review is now live *** Like an ass-kicking C-3PO stuck in a kaleidoscope, my favourite female superhero looks ready to take on anything. The new movie is out on 5 June 2020, and sees Diana Prince facing down a new enemy: The Cheetah. I ????????????❤️ this poster (particularly the dazzlingly gorgeous colour scheme), though at… Wonder Woman 1984 – first look poster Read More

Ad Astra trailers: the answers we seek are just outside our reach…
*** my review is now live (slightly spoilery) *** …and you’re going to have to wait until September for them too. Sorry. Still, these trailers are a great introduction to the much-anticipated movie. I love trailers about space that have soaring music, and movie stars with fishbowls on their heads dangling off the outside of a… Ad Astra trailers: the answers we seek are just outside our reach… Read More
Animals (Sundance London) 3.5 stars
It’s rare to find a film that combines such huge respect for the gorgeousness and grubbiness of female friendship with such dizzying disrespect for the human liver. They’re connected in this film of course, though I still feel drained just thinking about the sheer quantities of white wine consumed by best friends Laura and Tyler… Animals (Sundance London) Read More
A Vigilante 4 stars
I like this movie’s title – a vigilante, not the vigilante, which would have positioned this as just another exploitation piece. Sadie, herself a survivor of horrific abuse at the hands of her husband, is not out for acclaim but wants to sink into the grey shadows. It also suggests there are more out there,… A Vigilante Read More
Le Mans ’66 has a trailer! (And a new title)
*** Read my 5-star review *** Le Mans ’66 – called, much more sensibly, Ford v Ferrari in the US – has its first trailer (no poster yet though there is one for the US title). Here’s the synopsis: The remarkable true story of the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby and the fearless British-born… Le Mans ’66 has a trailer! (And a new title) Read More
I Love My Mum 3 stars
Bickering – so easy to do in real life – is a vastly underrated acting skill. I Love my Mum, the new comedy from writer-director Alberto Sciamma, is soundtracked to the constant hum of tiny aggressions and endless reproaches, a stuck record that needs a kick in order to jump forward. Olga (Kierston Wareing) and… I Love My Mum Read More
Late Night (Sundance London) 3 stars
When late night chat show host Katherine Newbury is told she’s being replaced, she finally has to face her writers’ room. Literally, as most of the men in there have never even seen her in the flesh before. Those men are all white, and privileged, though not as hirsute as I was expecting. They’re lazy,… Late Night (Sundance London) Read More
Corporate Animals (Sundance London) 3 stars
Imagine The Descent crossed with The Office, but nastier. That’s Corporate Animals. It’s uneven, but often brutally hilarious, as horrible boss Lucy (Demi Moore) forces her key employees into a team-building exercise exploring caves in New Mexico. Always wanting to push her employees on to greatness, even if they don’t want to go, Lucy declines… Corporate Animals (Sundance London) Read More
Always Be My Maybe 3.5 stars
Sasha Tran (Ali Wong) is magazine cover-famous. She’s a top chef with a successful LA restaurant, another about to open in San Francisco, and a New York venue coming later. Her childhood friend friend Marcus Kim (Randall Park) is lamppost-famous. His flyers for his 15-year-old band Hello Peril have finally reached the other side of San Francisco,… Always Be My Maybe Read More
Secret Life Of Pets 2 3 stars
Cute animals in movies often become scene-stealers. Jonesy the ginger cat in Alien. Daisy the floppy-eared beagle in John Wick. Black Phillip the satanic goat in The Witch. Okay, not that last one. In The Secret Life Of Pets 2, it’s Rooster. He’s not actually a rooster, he’s a Welsh sheepdog, wonderfully voiced by Harrison Ford. He… Secret Life Of Pets 2 Read More
