Battle of the Sexes: Stone vs Carell, Man vs Woman, Freedom vs Intolerance
The (in)famous “Battle of the Sexes” exhibition tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs is perfect fodder for a modern-day biopic.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
Kingsman: The Golden Circle has as much unapologetic stupidity and unabashed absurdity as its predecessor … but, sadly, it’s an order of magnitude less fun.
Is ‘Mother!’ Actually Worth The Pain?
mother! is not fucking around. This is a film that well and truly earns its exclamation mark.
Gothic, Giallo, Gore: Masters of Italian Horror at GOMA
“Gothic, Giallo, Gore: Masters of Italian Horror” centres primarily around three directors with a legitimate claim to the title of master: Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci.
Frisky (2015)
Frisky is proof positive that making something like Girls is a lot harder than it looks.
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)
While Captain Underpants is colourful, comedic and … competent, it’s just not my kinda scene.
It Is Terrifying, But Not Just Because Of The Clown
There’s never going to be a version of It as terrifying as the novel I read when I was 12. But the new adaptation does well to channel the unnerving spirit of King’s novel.
Victoria and Abdul (2017)
Victoria and Abdul shoves what sounds like a truly extraordinary moment in history into a biopic-shaped box and sands away any sharp edges
Risk (2016)
While Risk is less focused than Citizenfour, Laura Poitras’ study of Snowden, this is actually the stronger film.
Girls Trip (2017)
Girls Trip is the real deal, a comedy that’s at once hilarious and emotional, crass and authentic.
