A Dissection of ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and it’s Out of World Ending
ATTENTION: THE REVIEW FOR THIS ARTICLE IS SPOILER-FREE BUT THE “ENDING THEORY” SEGMENT IS VERY SPOILER HEAVY. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Let me get something out of the way before I begin discussing Blade Runner 2049. The first time I saw the original Blade Runner, I was about eleven or twelve years old and my father had […]
London Film Festival 2017: ‘The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)’ Review
After working with his muse Greta Gerwig on several projects, Noah Baumbach returns to his dysfunctional family roots with The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), creating what is basically his own The Royal Tenenbaums (and that is definitely a compliment.) The film follows three generations of the Meyerowitz family, a creative bunch who all have […]
“Loving Vincent” Review – Gigantic Achievment in Storytelling But Not Very Much Else
There’s a clear sense of ambition that film-making duo, Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, holstered while going about making this project. For those of you who didn’t know, Loving Vincent is the worlds first feature film animated entirely from oil-paintings.

London Film Festival 2017: ‘Princess Cyd’ Review
Coming-of-age stories revolving around teenage girls are not uncommon, and most of the time, we see the same cliches that never really capture what being young is actually like. But when 16-year-old Cyd (Jessie Pinnick) asks for the WiFi password not 5 minutes into her stay with her estranged aunt, I knew that Princess Cyd […]
London Film Festival 2017: ‘Lean on Pete’ Review
If Lean on Pete is reassuring of anything, it’s that Andrew Haigh is still a god at observing relationships under stress – the only difference is that this time there is no intimate bond, just a connection to a horse. That connection would lead our troubled main character, Charley, to go on a journey to find his mother […]
“Lucky” Review – A Perfect Send-Off to Harry Dean Stanton
The passing of Harry Dean Stanton crushed us all. With just under two hundred credits to his name, the man had become an icon – appearing in some of the best films ever made (Paris, Texas, The Green Mile, Alien, Repo Man) and quite a few “mainstream” films as well (The Avengers, Rango). All lovers of […]

London Film Festival 2017: ‘Ava’ Review
Lea Mysius’s debut Ava is a daring piece of filmmaking – a confident, though sometimes wavering, examination of teenage rebellion. The film begins with a stunning shot of a French beach brimming with tourists, setting a precedent of gorgeous cinematography full of vibrant colours. This beach is where most of the action takes place, and […]
