Another version of the subject of an isolated community (again on an island) whose residents begin to realise that something is not quite right with their “perfect life”. The discovery of one’s own sexuality after getting off the daily inhibitory “medicine” is likable, and the feelings between the characters are…

“Thanks, Costa. Thanks for another film in which someone is dying of cancer. You have surpassed all others, with several patients dying at once. Thanks for the tons of enriching dialogue with them involving the film’s protagonist, a renowned author/philosopher with a nascent brain tumor. And thanks for those few…

No fearful symmetry. Will we first be served meatloaf, a sweaty thigh, frail autistic lamb, or a piece of stepfather’s pig? Given the skills of the hungry kitty, which is better at smashing phones calling 911 than hunting, we can’t expect any surprises from the menu. It’s probably clear that if Briana Evigan had been…

A minimalist social drama that follows the everyday life of a young Portuguese woman with no hobbies, friends or kindred spirits, doing shift work at a warehouse in Scotland. Sorting goods on shelves, cooking, having conversations with her colleagues at work and in the employee dormitory. At first glance, On Falling…

Seemingly the perfect autumn film. A tribute to classic gothic horror, a trendy cast, beautiful costumes, stunning production design... and yet it doesn’t work nearly as well as it could. It wasn't necessary to create another adaptation of a classic, but the script that Guillermo del Toro prepared with Matthew Robbins…

Another thoughtful, top-notch affair from the excellent Agatha Christie, who has nothing to be ashamed of in this adaptation. The central theme, which is compelling in its own right and leaves you eagerly awaiting the denouement, is supported by excellent music, a believable cast and a great deal of suspense. After…

Filth is a very specific film, for which it is hard to find words. The plot is identical to its synopsis and it is more or less about ordinary days in the life of a totally unorthodox, sex and drug addicted, sarcastic, mentally disturbed detective trolling literally everything around him. There's a lot of…

A laid-back family comedy that's fine for kids, but a misery for adults. The humour is infantile and mediocre and some scenes were downright cringe – I believe that if similar comedies were targeted older audiences they would be more acceptable. I do appreciate Edgar Ramírez's efforts at comedy, which he wasn't even…

You would think that the plot of the series would copy the original film, but it doesn't (unfortunately?) and as a result I'm glad I didn't have to watch the same thing a second time, but I'm not exactly thrilled either. The axe fight in the dark car is ironically the most boring scene of the film for me, and the…

After a tedious opening, when we are introduced to one of the most unlikeable lead actresses of the last 30 years (read after 45 minutes), the film finally starts to reveal a bit what it is actually about. The second half is a very symbolic, surreal and somewhat illegible interpretation of dreams, different realities…
