Saint Maud (2020)

If there was one film I was looking forward to seeing in 2020, it was Saint Maud. Thanks to the global pandemic, it was one of the many films that was delayed and just under a year later, I finally have been able to see it. Directed and written by Rose Glass in her feature… Read More Saint Maud (2020)

When Laura’s father, Felix (Bill Murray) comes to town, Laura finds her doubts grow until she isn’t sure what… Read More On the Rocks (2020)

A Ghost Story (2017)

One of the most beautiful and somber films to come out of the 2010s is A Ghost Story written and directed by David Lowery. Premiering at Sunday’s Fil. Festival and distributed by the much-loved A24, A Ghost Story follows a young married couple C (Casey Affleck) and M (Rooney Mara) and the aftermath of the… Read More A Ghost Story (2017)

Robert Eggers: Double Feature

In my series where I look at the emerging directors this century, it was only matter of time before I discuss the work of horror director Robert Eggers. Usually associated with his A24 cohort Ari Aster, Eggers’ two films are psychological studies of its characters with a darker colour palette than Aster’s work. His 2015… Read More Robert Eggers: Double Feature

Ari Aster: Double Feature

Following on from my previous post on Jordan Peele (which you can read here), I thought I would discuss another writer/director whose work in the horror genre has caused waves in recent years. Ari Aster is a writer/director who has used the horror films of the past to inspire and create horror films for modern… Read More Ari Aster: Double Feature

The Lighthouse (2019)

Robert Eggers’ follow-up to 2015’s The VVitch is a mind-bending mesh of chaos, insanity and broken masculinity. Starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two lighthouse keepers who are stranded on the island after a storm hits, The Lighthouse shows the men’s mentality break and crumble in a fashion never before seen on film. Co-written by Eggers and… Read More The Lighthouse (2019)

Uncut Gems (2019)

I have said this once and I will say it again. When Adam Sandler puts his mind to it, he can turn out a star-studded performance that most dramatic actors can only dream of. He did it in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2003 Punch-Drunk Love and he’s done it again in the mind-warping Uncut Gems, directed by Josh… Read More Uncut Gems (2019)
