BIFF: The Wild Boys (2017)
The Wild Boys is the kind of film that defies words.
Brothers’ Nest (2018)
Brothers’ Nest takes the scepticism underneath Kenny and allows it to fester and overtake the film.
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (2018)
Gus Van Sant’s latest, a modest biopic of cartoonist John Callahan, casually avoids biopic and addiction story tropes.
Check in to Bad Times at the El Royale for a Good Time at the Movies
Bad Times at the El Royale is the sort of film that’s not supposed to get made anymore: a straight-up genre flick boasting a sizeable budget and A-list stars.
First Man (2018)
It’s safe to say that a new Damien Chazelle feature is going to be one of my most anticipated films of the year. Unfortunately, First Man falls short of perfect.

Mary and the Witch’s Flower has a comforting familiarity, as though recalling the feeling of rewatching your favourite Ghibli film for the umpteenth time.
Night School (2018)
You could forgive Night School’s clichéd, uneven storytelling had it boasted even a couple good jokes …but no.
Steven Universe – Season 4
In its fourth season, for the first time, Steven Universe has unequivocally won me over.

Despite In the Fade (effectively) manipulating an emotional response in its audience, it has nothing of substance behind its thin thrills.
