Infinitum: Subject Unknown 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd March 2021 by Sarah

Jane is trapped in a parallel universe and is forced to find a way to alter her reality before it is too late. Read my interview with Matt & Tori Butler-Hart and my (very spoilery) article on the film. After a year on pause, it turns out a life of endless possibilities might not be… Infinitum: Subject Unknown Read More

The Personal History of David Copperfield 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

31st January 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There is little to criticise in Armando Iannucci’s pacy, exuberant, free-thinking and hilarious film, though as a keen baker I had to turn away when faced with Uriah Heep’s mother’s “heavy cakes”, a seemingly never-ending procession of giant overcooked monstrosities with which England’s dark satanic mills could easily have been built. Beyond those inedible indelicacies,… The Personal History of David Copperfield Read More

Trailer: The Last Tree – identity and belonging, from rural Lincolnshire to inner London

Shola Amoo’s second feature, the semi-autobiographical The Last Tree, is an accomplished, absorbing and witty film about Femi (Sam Adewumni), a Black teenage boy struggling to create his own identity and sense of place from disparate memories, experiences and expectations.

The Last Tree (Sundance London) 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th June 2019 by Sarah 1 Comment

Shola Amoo’s second feature is an accomplished and absorbing film, following the teenage Femi as he struggles to create his own identity and sense of place from disparate memories, experiences and expectations. Little confusions, which for teenagers can still loom large, are woven into far more serious choices. There’s a sweet scene when Femi, walking along… The Last Tree (Sundance London) Read More

Persona 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

30th April 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Having watched The Seventh Seal last week – my first Bergman movie – and managed some semblance of understanding (with help I hasten to add!), tonight I was ready for Round 2. And I have to say I’m still chin-stroking, and I came out of the cinema six hours ago. In that time I could… Persona Read More
