Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

Haunted doll Annabelle is a beacon for spirits, so strap in for a whole bunch of ghouls and ghosts once she’s unleashed.

June 28, 2019 in 200 words, Film.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu Is Just Okay

Expectations are a funny thing. Had I seen Pokémon Detective Pikachu, oh, six months ago – before the first trailer set the internet into a tizzy at the prospect that this film might actually be good – I would’ve have been pleasantly surprised.

May 6, 2019 in Extended Cut, Film.

Captain Marvel (2018)

Captain Marvel isn’t quite a dud, but it’s far from marvellous.

March 11, 2019 in 200 words, Film.

Greta (2018)

Greta feels like a dispatch straight from the early-‘90s – and I’m not complaining.

February 28, 2019 in 200 words, Film.

Tangled Between Techno-Thriller and James-Bond-esque Action: The Girl in the Spider’s Web

We watch Bond movies to be transported to glossy locations and marvel at beautiful people, not to trudge through underlit apartment buildings in the depths of winter.

November 6, 2018 in Extended Cut, Film.

My Friend Dahmer (2017)

This film adeptly sidesteps the obvious dangers of either explaining or empathising with Dahmer … which, unfortunately, leaves it without much of a purpose.

October 30, 2018 in 200 words, Film.

In the Fade (2017)

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

September 23, 2018 in 200 words, Film.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

There’s much to recommend The Miseducation of Cameron Post, but on the whole it feels too dramatically inert.

September 16, 2018 in 200 words, Film.

The Yellow Birds (2017)

The Yellow Birds isn’t so much bad as bland: an unforgiveable sin in today’s crowded marketplace.

August 29, 2018 in 200 words, Film.

The Breaker Upperers (2018)

I love a lot about The Breaker Upperers.

Unfortunately, I don’t love the film itself.

July 29, 2018 in 200 words, Film.
