FILM REVIEW: Chris Rock's Saw reboot "Spiral" is dizzyingly bad
I'm not too sure what Chris Rock saw in Saw, but I saw Chris Rock's Saw and it see-saws the line of being the worst Saw I ever saw.
FILM REVIEW: THE GODMOTHER IS NO MISDEMEANOR
The Godmother is a simple yet effective crime caper, carried by Huppert and Nguyen's addictive performances.
"The Bee Gee's: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" goes behind the boogie.
Irrespective of whether you're a stan, or if Bee Gee's disco falsetto is is simply Jive Talking, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is an inspiring and epic display of passion and creativity.
FILM REVIEW: “Green Book” and “On the Basis of Sex” disappoint in different ways
Is there a word exact enough to describe a movie that is so blandly competent and flavourless that to recall it would be as difficult as recalling last Tuesday’s lunch?
FILM REVIEW: "Sorry to Bother You" Requires all 111 Minutes of Your Time
‘Race relations; unions; individual success in a world of inequality; the role of radical art in promoting social change; the blurred line between compelled labour and indentured servitude – this is a highly abridged list of topics the film touches on. I could go on.‘
Film Review: Timothée Chalamet Shines Once Again in "Beautiful Boy"
Chalamet is ruthlessly convincing as a young drug addict, but does this true story feel real enough?
Film Review: "Harmony: The Five Frequencies Saga Part 1" is the title of a real movie
Sometimes whole scenes go by and the actors do a good enough job to make you feel not embarrassed
Film Review: "Blockers" is all noise and no substance
Blockers is a silly film that sadly disappoints in being anything else.
FILM REVIEW: "Lean on Pete" is unexpectedly grim and gritty
Lean on Pete is a movie about a young boy who, already on the back foot in life, slowly heads towards the very margins of American society.
A Ghost Story: an existential saga lacking in humanity
A Ghost Story takes a cosmic scope, but I can’t help feeling that it could have been so much pure and meant so much more if the lens was microcosmic. A study of grief and loss of love with grounding by Rooney Mara’s solar-plexus thumping performance would have been a brilliant thesis statement in its honest simplicity

In Part 2 of our Revelation Film Festival roundup, we review documentaries "Working In Protest" and "You've Never Had It: An Evening with Charles Buckowski"
Film Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" drags the series back to the middle
For what it's worth, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the most engaging installment of the movie franchise since the first one. Is that to say it's actually good, though? Well...
FILM REVIEW: "A Dog's Purpose" is your usual feel-good tear-jerker fare
A Dog’s Purpose: Heartwarming, heartbreaking and trying just a little too hard.
Manchester by the Sea: A heartrending portrait of grief and depression
Even if Manchester by the Sea were not so technically accomplished and beautifully acted, it would still stand as a unique work, simply because you get the ineffable sense that the director has experienced himself what he's depicting on screen – it's as personal as a handwritten poem to a loved one.
PIAF Film Review: "The Rehearsal" is not your typical high school movie
The Rehearsal allows its audience to view a haunting and raw side of adolescence that isn’t glamorised by the usual beautiful teenagers that Hollywood so often served.
REQUIEM FOR A FILM: Clueless
It has been meme-ed, and it has been copied, yet 21 years later, Clueless remains one of the most relevant feminist films of all time. We diligently review the film as part of our Requiem for a Film series.
