See How They Run recap: killer, motive, fact and fiction

9th October 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A film about the search for a murderer linked to a play about a search for a murderer based on a real life case. With more layers than the massive cake that murder victim Leo Köpernik falls into at The Mousetrap‘s 100th performance celebrations, See How They Run blends a real life case of child… See How They Run recap: killer, motive, fact and fiction Read More

Death On The Nile 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd April 2022 by Sarah

Famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot investigates a series of murders on a luxurious river trip. Kenneth Branagh’s latest stab at the Agatha Christie classics is as much about the wounds and scars of the living as about the dead (though there are plenty of bodies too). And despite — because of? — its focus on… Death On The Nile Read More

Deerskin ending explained

2nd October 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Very spoilery. Check out the ending below, or scroll down for a fuller explanation and plot details. (My 4/5 review is here.) In Deerskin, every loan that Georges accepts from Denise is followed by the purchase of another item of clothing made of 100% deerskin. It’s as if — as well as shaping his film… Deerskin ending explained Read More

Deerskin 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

1st October 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Georges is a man who has one ambition – to possess the finest jacket in the world at the expense of all others. It may be 100% deerskin but Georges’s new jacket is also the G.O.A.T., an item of clothing so perfect he’s prepared to spend his (and his wife’s!) life savings on it: 7,500… Deerskin Read More

The When The Screaming Starts serial killer table — how did your favourite do?

1st September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

WARNING: VERY SPOILERY. Proceed at your own risk, as if you’ve just been shown round a motel bathroom by Norman Bates (If you’re after my review, it’s here. Or check out my interview with writer-director Conor Boru.) Cults are something of a Family business, albeit in Aidan’s case not a very financially successful one. You… The When The Screaming Starts serial killer table — how did your favourite do? Read More

When The Screaming Starts 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

1st September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A would-be serial killer decides to start a Manson-like murder cult with his girlfriend. Claire, Lady Macbeth to Aidan Mendle’s David Brent, is up front about what she can offer. “If you kill someone we can have sex,” she tells her boyfriend and murderer-in-training.

The Woman In The Window 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

25th May 2021 by Sarah

A woman with agoraphobia who lives apart from her family spies a killing in the house across the road. Film lovers, you can sleep easy in your beds — unlike Anna in this movie — as The Woman In The Window is not the great disaster you may have heard. It’s not great either, but… The Woman In The Window Read More

The Devil All The Time: the devil is in the detail

20th September 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Warning: full of spoilers, fire and brimstone. Well, spoilers anyway. My review is here. Character posters are at the bottom of the page. Despite the melodrama, multiple dead bodies and spiders, The Devil All The Time finishes – eventually – on a note that is both cathartic and hopeful. Arvin does survive. The ending is… The Devil All The Time: the devil is in the detail Read More

Unhinged: what’s it driving at?

25th August 2020 by Sarah

Oh come on, we’ve been in lockdown since March, I’m allowed a pun. Note: This is very spoilery so if you don’t want to know who dies, or how, drive off into the sunset now, with your doors firmly locked. If you want to read my – yes, four star – review, it’s here.

After a confrontation with an unstable man at an intersection, a woman becomes the target of his rage. We used to say hell is other people but now hell happens in full view of other people.

The Big Ugly trailer: Vinnie Jones’s gangland enforcer strikes oil, but has he met his match?

12th June 2020 by Sarah

I did giggle at Vinnie Jones’s menacingly growly voiceover in this new trailer for The Big Ugly (a title with room for myriad tweaks and variations) – an action revenge thriller that sees a London mobster transplanted to the US for a money-laundering oil deal. Neelyn (Jones), an enforcer for UK gang boss Harris (Malcolm… The Big Ugly trailer: Vinnie Jones’s gangland enforcer strikes oil, but has he met his match? Read More
