Social media Cyrano comedy Summerland gets a trailer

30th August 2020 by Sarah

The sun-kissed and never-been-kissed indie coming-of-age comedy follows three friends all trying desperately to find themselves, while trying not to drive off the road in the process.  Filmed on the road across America, Summerland is modern-day social media Cyrano comedy about finding yourself and where you belong. The poor cast and crew though – they’re… Social media Cyrano comedy Summerland gets a trailer Read More

29th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“Someone told me a quote about ‘being comfortable being uncomfortable’ and I think that was the best little nugget of advice I got” says Luke Newberry, about coping with the insecurity of an actor’s life.

The Miseducation Of Cameron Post 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

From trying to make teenagers “pray the gay away” to encouraging them to work out to Blessercise videos (imagine a Jane Fonda-esque aerobics queen teaming up with Billy Graham) the brother and sister behind gay conversion centre God’s Promise will do anything to suppress their charges’ sexualities. This is a movie set in 1993, though… The Miseducation Of Cameron Post Read More

Bliss! 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

5th September 2018 by Sarah 1 Comment

Bliss! is an assured and well-judged feature debut from director Rita Osei – an uplifting family film but an unsentimental one, and a movie that young girls can call their own. Searching Norway for a blond man nicknamed The Viking was never going to be easy. But it shows how deep teenage Tash’s need for… Bliss! Read More

Lady Bird 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th February 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s my age – perhaps there’s a point at which one stops identifying with the irritating daughter and starts nodding along sagely with the irritating mum – but Lady Bird isn’t a film that grabbed me. Naturally, being a woman, after all the acclaim it’s received I finished watching it thinking “is it me?… Lady Bird Read More

Princess Cyd 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th November 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, aged 17, I went for an interview at one of our better redbrick universities – to study English, no less – and confidently told the don in front of me that I didn’t really rate Shakespeare. Reader, they rejected me. But if 16 year old Cyd were real, I hope it… Princess Cyd Read More

Call Me By Your Name 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd October 2017 by Sarah 1 Comment

Languid is a term made for Call Me By Your Name, as well-off couples and teens lounge around indulging their pleasures (food, academia, poetry, cigarettes) but meanwhile everything is happening below the surface. Literally at times, as they jump into old stone swimming pools or bring up long-lost statues from the deep of Lake Garda…. Call Me By Your Name Read More
