To write: “I loved this movie” would be an understatement. Unlike many, I haven’t seen the (often criticised) trailers that “sold” some people a different movie. I have heard some things about it and then watched Cord Jefferson winning an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch it until a few weeks after that….

If there’s anything better than a court drama, it’s a unique court drama we don’t get that often. Most court dramas are great, but more often than not, they aren’t as unique because most of the time, the lines are clearly drawn between the heroes and villains. And that’s where Anatomy of a Fall comes in. It…

When I got into films, I spent hours reading through different lists of “best of all time” movies, reading various discussion forums where people would talk about classics, and, surprisingly, this movie wasn’t mentioned much. I think the first time I remember hearing about The Red Shoes was regarding La La Land (2016) and how certain scenes took inspiration…

I will be the first to admit that there are some directors I still struggle to appreciate fully, and Alexander Payne would be on that list. Let me be clear; I don’t think his movies are bad, but out of the three I have seen before The Holdovers (Election (1999), The Descendants (2011) and Downsizing (2017)) I almost loved the first one and liked…

There are some directors who are so out there that you know they will never be able to make a “normal” film, whatever that word means to you. I always say we should be grateful for them as those are usually the ones who can challenge us the most or introduce us to new ideas…

During my many years of watching and rating movies, I got used to being the outsider, not because I wanted to be different, but because my taste often didn’t align with the rest of the movie-going crowd. And then there are instances when you align identically with the rest, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is…

It’s weird writing a review for a movie many have not even heard of, let alone seen. If you think I am exaggerating, on IMDb, “only” around 14 000 people have rated this movie, and on Letterboxd, that number is slightly higher, around 36 000. Even I have only heard about it recently because one of my…
I must admit something some might find weird – I don’t watch documentaries. The reason is not that I would hate them; it’s much simpler than that. I prefer narrative movies where I can escape reality. I know (especially lately) I have been missing out on some excellent documentaries, and maybe, at some point, I…
