FILM REVIEWS
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2020)
An enchanting and groundbreaking study of falling in love and the Female Gaze. Although set two-and-a-half centuries ago, it is a timeless story at once articulate and sensual, enlightening and breathtaking.
The Lighthouse (2020)
The Lighthouse is an awe-inspiring testament to the silver screen while remaining utterly original. Caught between arthouse and the thriller genre, it crashes through you until you’re hollowed out and chilled to the bone.
The Personal History of David Copperfield (2020)
A relentlessly charming celebration of diversity, creativity and inspiration. Armando Iannucci’s wacky take on the Dickensian classic is led by a sparkling cast that brims with vim and vigour but fails to develop any meaningful character relationships.
Emma. (2020)
With the rhythm of a picturesque carriage ride through the country, there is always something to keep your attention in August de Wilde’s new adaptation of Austen’s comedy-satire. Perky, fresh and finely-tuned.
1917 (2020)
1917 is what cinema was made for. It’s relentlessly impressive, at once innovative and reminiscent of a classic. The bold cinematography pairs with a wholly-satisfying story to create a richly-textured, life-affirming film.
Jojo Rabbit (2020)
Jojo Rabbit is a real treat, a laugh-out-loud comedy offering a refreshingly clever and creative take on a part of history we know so well. It’s vivid, heartwarming, expertly crafted and relentlessly enjoyable.
Little Women (2019)
Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s nineteenth-century classic novel is not as revolutionary as it is being made out to be, but it is effervescent, vivid, moving and inspiring, grounded by stellar performances.
