The Lost Daughter (2022) – Movie Review
The Lost Daughter, in its normalcy, feels as tense as a thriller because anything could happen, anytime. Watch it for the atmosphere, or the performances, or the story, but don’t let it pass you by.
Petite Maman (2021) – Movie Review
A moving tale of childhood.
Nightmare Alley (2021) – Movie Review
Half gothic horror, half swanky noir, Nightmare Alley is a lot of cinema. It is written to fit together like clockwork, designed and shot to look like the best classics.

All the accolades will make you think there must be something about Belfast. I suggest you look elsewhere.
The Disciple (2021) – Movie Review
It was hard for me to engage with the specific in The Disciple, but the general is filled with universal emotions.
The Tragedy of Macbeth (2022) – Movie Review
The Tragedy of Macbeth is so much my jam that if I didn’t know better I’d think it was made just for me. This is an endorsement as much as it is a warning, because it could very well be that everything that I like about this project is what puts you off.
The Man with the Answers (2021) – Movie Review
A road movie that succeeds in building a compelling protagonist but falls short with his foil.
Moffie (2021) – Movie Review
A harrowing denunciation of homophobia and violence in the army, too impersonal to fully land.
Being the Ricardos (2021) – Movie Review
An interesting looks at the makings of classic TV comedy, marred by miscasts and an oddly dour mood.
