Quentin Tarantino is back for his (supposedly) penultimate film. After a short spree of two Westerns, Tarantino is now tackling the Hollywood of 1969. Steve McQueen is still being cool, Bruce Lee is still kicking…

I can picture the more standard, Hollywood version of Share in my head: it’s full of long diatribes, tearful wishes, and happy resolutions. A24’s Share, however, is far more cynical and rough, challenging its audience to accept its…

There’s a scene in Dead Poets Society (1989) where English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) has his students walk around a courtyard to demonstrate a lesson in conformity. If you put some people in a line…

The 2019 Academy Awards are here, and I’ve already thrown multiple tantrums about how idiotic some of the choices are…but that’s besides the point. The nominations saw Roma and The Favourite lead the pack with…

Back in 2013, both Steve McQueen and Alfonso Cuarón made two incredible films, competing against each other at the Academy Awards. McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave was an incredibly moving period piece about the greatest injustice in…
