I originally watched this film because I was bored and had seen one specific image from the film circling on my Pinterest. To be completely honest, I wasn’t that interested when the film first started. Still, it got more interesting as the film progressed. As someone who loves films about…

Admittedly the original animated films were not perfect cinema, but nothing can compare to the cinematic trash that was this film. I cannot comprehend the reason for creating this film, I believe it was a waste of a budget that could’ve been used on a much better film. The film…

This film is a staple when considering Wes Anderson’s career as an auteur! The use of warm, deep, comforting colours like yellow and red adds to the beauty of the film, creating the iconic autumnal style that is key to its aesthetic. Paired with the unique choice of stop-motion, it…

I think this is a film that all children can relate too, everyone wants to be an adult until they actually become adults and realise how tiring life actually is. I remember watching this film for the first time and finding it amazing, I loved every second. Directed by Gary…

This film is also co-produced by Rawson Marshall Thurber and Dwayne Johnson, marking the third collaboration between the two. In…

After sneaking into the cinema to watch this as a seventeen-year-old, this film is one that appears utterly bonkers. The film is based on the 1992 novel (of the same name) written by Alasdair Gray. The film follows a darkly comedic and surreal tale about a young woman named Bella…
