Love Lies Bleeding | Picturehouse Recommends
When Rose Glass burst onto the scene in 2019 with chilling psychological horror Saint Maud, the British filmmaker cemented her reputation as an undeniable new talent. The tale of a pious nurse (played by Morfydd Clark) desperate to save the soul of her latest patient was one of that year's best films. It was an impressive debut that highlighted Glass's knack for intensely drawn characters and skilful genre flourishes.
Challengers | Picturehouse Recommends
It's game, set and match for Luca Guadagnino, whose latest film, Challengers, takes place in the high-stakes world of professional tennis.
Fantastic Machine | Picturehouse Recommends
Anybody who saw King Charles III's coronation on television last May was doubtless dazzled by the elaborate pomp and ceremony that surrounded that historic event.
Civil War | Picturehouse Recommends
Imagine this: what if America was to turn on itself and declare a civil war on its citizens? Martial law would be declared. Anyone who got in the way would be deemed an enemy of the state. Civilians and journalists would be fair game.
Back to Black | Picturehouse Recommends
At its big, tender heart, Sam Taylor-Johnson's Back to Black is a celebration of the genius that is Amy Winehouse.

"[...] Of course, it’s amusing to watch grown men think so deeply about something as ephemeral as food, and many of their lines are unambiguously funny (“Wine is the intellectual side of a meal”). But there’s also something incredibly thrilling, moving even, in seeing people so utterly devoted to pleasure, to simply feeling good, to enjoying their life right now, in this moment, in this body. That their time and place is so remote in history, their world so utterly different from our own, only adds to this poignancy of watching others live in the moment."
My full review for The Playlist
the most hardcore food porn since Big Night or Babette's Feast, and every bit those movies' equal. an absolute joy.
"Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall begins with an interview between a writer and a student interested in her work. It’s a lighthearted, almost flirty discussion where double entendres are part of a seemingly harmless game. It is pleasurable for Sandra (Sandra Hüller), the writer flattered by the attention, but also for us, the audience, as Triet’s writing always is: casual yet precise, revealing of characters’ personalities but always awake to the degree of performance in their behavior — in…
R.M.N. is Cristian Mungiu’s patient & disturbing examination of rising tensions & anxieties in a xenophobic Transylvanian village. Bleak cinematography with many unforgettable shots including a 17 minute long unbroken scene at a town hall meeting where the film’s themes finally crystallize in a simmering combustion of anger, frustration, fear & hatred. It took a bit to get going and I’m not sure everything coalesces as Mungiu suspects between Matthias‘ journey and the journey of the community. Still, it has one of the…
another wonderfully tactful panopticon of the (eastern) european society by Mungiu. the ocean of characters, words, sceneries let a topic hard to tackle with the means of cinema get to life, without falling out of subtlety.
parenthetically he creates one of the most horrific male protagonists I've seen in recent years, and has with Judith State and especially Macrina Barladeanu two mesmerising actresses by his side making this baby another sweet entry of the not-so-new-anymore Romanian wave.

Charlotte Regan's Scrapper is one of the most beautifully fun and humourous films you'll see this year. While this could have been another gritty and gloomy working-class tale, Scrapper tackles difficult topics with a sense of humour.
Georgie has almost a Kerry Mucklowe energy to her character that brightens up this story and you can't help but be invested in her. Speaking to Lola Campbell afterwards and finding out she's never even taken part in a school play before was…
