Don’t say I don’t care about you lot – very spoilery. (My four-star review is here.) “Even sadistic, immoral assholes get old”, says Marla referring to Jennifer, who clearly has a dodgy past (or present). But sadistic, immoral asshole Marla does not get that chance. Capitalism does triumph at the end. Marla and Roman Lunyov… Caring capitalism: the I Care A Lot ending explained Read More
Witch watch: The Reckoning ending explained
Naturally this is spoilery about the full-on ending (and a couple of other things). My review is here if you want to read it. I am not a monster so I am not going to make you read the whole article to discover that, yes, adorable baby Abi SURVIVES. I know films don’t usually kill… Witch watch: The Reckoning ending explained Read More
The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland
Very spoilery, if you don’t already know that children’s parties tend to end in mayhem. (My review of the film is here.) “He’s not trapped in here with them – they’re trapped in here with him!” If you after the kind of lockdown palate cleanser that burns off the whole inside of your mouth then… The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland Read More
The News Of The World, trying to get a nation to talk to itself
All the news about News Of The World that’s fit to print, and no sidebar of shame. Warning: very spoilery about the ending! My four-star review of the film is here. Arthur Miller said “A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself,” and Captain Kyle Kidd, the ageing, war-weary storyteller who travels… The News Of The World, trying to get a nation to talk to itself Read More
Saint Maud: sex and death and God and souls
You prayed for spoilers and here they are. Very spoilery about Saint Maud and its shocking ending. Religion, sex and death is one of the ultimate horror threesomes, and Saint Maud brings them together in a devastating exploration of the effects of one woman’s breakdown. “No one sees what they don’t want to,” says the… Saint Maud: sex and death and God and souls Read More
Unearthing The Dig
This is very spoilery about the ending of The Dig, as I go a bit further into the reach of Sutton Hoo and the relationships in the film. If you’re after my five-star review, it’s here.

Pieces Of A Woman: the final bit of the jigsaw
Warning: very spoilery about the end of the film – if you want to read my review instead, it’s here.

Births are often unpredictable but she had tried to… Pieces Of A Woman: the final bit of the jigsaw Read More
The Blithe Spirit remake and the ghosts of movies past
Extremely spoilery about both Blithe Spirits and you’ll also have to simply accept that ghosts are real. (My review of the new Blithe Spirit film is here.) To misquote Princess Di, “there were three people in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded”. None of the three in Blithe Spirit (1945) or Blithe Spirit… The Blithe Spirit remake and the ghosts of movies past Read More
Locked Down ending: from hedgies & homebaking to the Harris diamond, what happened?
Very spoilery! Edgar Allan Poe may have said “There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told,” but not here. (Or read my review.) “Freedom Linda, in one beautiful moment,” says Paxton as the stand in Harrods, dithering over whether to swap the fake diamond with the real one she’s supposed to be… Locked Down ending: from hedgies & homebaking to the Harris diamond, what happened? Read More
The Midnight Sky: it’s written in the stars
I never expected to be comparing George Clooney’s cerebral offering The Midnight Sky to Gerard Butler’s fellow cataclysmic doom-movie Greenland, but we are where we are: in the middle of a pandemic, seeking solace in End Times drama. I talk about the implications of The Midnight Sky spoiler at the start, so you can stop… The Midnight Sky: it’s written in the stars Read More
Wonder Woman 1984: the truth is out there
Warning: Very spoilery, right to the end (if you want to read my four-star review, it’s here) Wonder Woman 1984 is about truth, so I’m going to come right out and say it.

Greenland: how it ends
It’s the end of the world as we know it, but how does everybody feel? This article is about who stepped up (or not) in Greenland and why, and it’s naturally very spoilery up to and including the ending, so if you’re just after my 4-star review it’s here.
