Vivarium (London Film Festival 2019) 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th November 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Vivarium (London Film Festival 2019)

Everyone has their own line in the sand which they will not cross when it comes to settling down. Mine is those massive white canvasses with children in stripy knitwear leapfrogging over their siblings while mum and dad laugh heartily to one side. (I cling to the hope that when looked at from the corner… Vivarium (London Film Festival 2019) Read More

Trick Or Treat 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

Trick Or Treat

I loved the characters in Halloween crime thriller Trick Or Treat, particularly new dad and ex-criminal Greg – who moans so much about the dullness of life with a wife and new baby he doesn’t even let up while driving round with brutal henchman Clarence in a quest to find his ne’er-do-well brother Dan, and… Trick Or Treat Read More

Good Heart – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019)

At the start I didn’t understand what was happening but then I realised. The pictures look like they’ve been drawn with crayons. It’s from Russia but it doesn’t matter because the family in it just grunt. There is a family of Stone Age people and when the boy goes to collect apples he comes back… Good Heart – kids’ review!

The Farewell (Sundance London) 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

21st July 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The Farewell (Sundance London)

The Farewell is writer-director Lulu Wang’s second feature, and it’s a funny, bracing, tender and profoundly moving film. “Sexy but poor” is how Billi (Awkwafina) describes herself half-jokingly to her mother, visiting her parents while trying to avoid the apartment she always owes rent on. Her parents also live in New York, the whole family… The Farewell (Sundance London) Read More

Playmobil: The Movie 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th July 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Playmobil: The Movie

I have a soft spot for Playmobil, and not only because it’s easier on parental feet when you tread on it in the dark than arch-nemesis Lego, which like its tie-in films is considerably sharper-edged than this smooth German rival. But while Playmobil:The Movie lacks the bite of the Lego films, this is still a colourful,… Playmobil: The Movie Read More

I Love My Mum 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd June 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I Love My Mum

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

Always Be My Maybe

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.

Hereditary 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Hereditary

A creaky floorboard and a clicking tongue. Two sounds you don’t want to hear when you’re alone in the house and the only tongue clicker you know of is your dead sister. “I never wanted to be your mother” Annie says to her teenage son Peter (Alex Wolff), “it wasn’t my fault and I tried… Hereditary Read More

Bird Box 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

27th December 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Bird Box

A stern and cold-voiced woman tells two 5 year olds named Boy and Girl that they’re going on a dangerous journey and if they don’t do what she says she will hurt them. It’s a frightening opening to this film about motherhood, not just because of the calamity it hints at but also because this… Bird Box Read More
