REVIEW: My Name is Pedro (2021)
The power of a teacher who believes in their pupils is a familiar, inspiring Hollywood go-to. From Miss Honey in Matilda, Dr. Larabee in Akeelah & The Bee, to one of Robin Williams most iconic roles as Mr Keating in Dead Poets Society. These are…
REVIEW: The Vigil (2021)
You can always rely on the horror genre to find religious rituals and turn them into an anxiety inducing, terrifying experience. Whether drenched in a Midsommar sun watching a brutal suicide custom or being sacrificed in a ritual offering to a Norse God in, er,…
REVIEW: Simple Passion (2021)
One can’t help but wonder whether Simple Passion is meant to be set in the modern world. It feels like the sort of film that would have been made in America or Britain during the 1970s. Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) immediately came to mind as an…
REVIEW: In the Earth (Sundance 2021)
It was inevitable that the pandemic was going to end up being a presence at Sundance 2021 and that it would be the first festival where the effects of Covid-19 would really be felt. It’s a festival almost entirely made up of films that were…
REVIEW: Street Gang – How We Got to Sesame Street (Sundance 2021)
It’s difficult to think of a show in the history of television that has amassed more good will over the years than Sesame Street. Honestly, it’s pretty much a tie between the Muppets and Mr Roger’s Neighborhood. And for a lot of viewers, especially younger…

REVIEW: Sabaya (Sundance 2021)
Soldiers are not the only ones scarred by war. A nation in conflict, especially when experiencing the unique trauma and destruction of civil war, is like a broken mirror. Tiny, jagged pieces of glass that can’t quite be put back to the way they were….
REVIEW: The Most Beautiful Boy in the World (Sundance 2021)
Child actors have long been a source of fascination, with a recent HBO documentary directed by Alex Winter (called Showbiz Kids) being the latest example of our need to understand “where did it all go wrong?” in many cases. Only a rarefied few successfully make…
REVIEW: Willy’s Wonderland (2021)
Willy’s Wonderland was a film that I’d heard of all the way back in 2019, after seeing The Banana Splits Movie, and have been anticipating it ever since then. But, now that it’s out, has it been worth the wait or should this film be…
REVIEW: LX 2048 (2021)
Some of the greatest science fiction films are those that spark discussion longer than their run time. Is there life beyond the stars? Do androids dream of electric sheep? What does blue milk actually taste like? In Guy Moshe’s latest, he has a dozen different…
