Isn’t It Romantic 4 stars
I’m delighted to say that Isn’t It Romantic doesn’t have one original idea in it. You’ll have seen them all before, in a thousand romcoms – but director Todd Strauss-Schulson has taken those ideas, chucked them into the air then watched them fall to the ground in perfect order, a bit like if Rebel Wilson did… Isn’t It Romantic Read More
Lost & Found (Short Film) Short Film 5 stars
Of course I’m not crying, I’ve just stabbed myself in the eye with a crochet hook.

Her wealthy father (Eric De… Racer And The Jailbird Read More
The Lobster 3.5 stars
The Lobster raises so many questions. How does society manage relationships, and even if we think we’ve escaped those expectations can we really be free? What’s the best way to get bloodstains out of clothes after a nosebleed? And what would Colin Farrell look like if he wore massive white Y-fronts and worked in an office? Yorgos Lanthimos’ film answers the… The Lobster Read More
