New edition of the Cinematic Sense Monthly newsletter! I talk about the first award ceremonies of the year, Letterboxd's new Video Store and Billie Eilish's new concert film (in 3D - AND with James Cameron)... cinematicsense8.wordpress.com/2025/11/28/n...

Another multi-review for Cinematic Sense. This time, I look at SLY LIVES (insightful doc with a distinct angle) and SORRY, BABY (one of the best films of the year)... cinematicsense.home.blog/2025/11/24/f...

New review for Cinematic Sense. Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein is merely OK, but Jacob Elordi is great in it... cinematicsense.home.blog/2025/11/14/g...

REBUILDING: No surprise here, but Josh O'Connor is captivating yet again in this simple but humane story of devastation, community spirit and personal transformation. Review for @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social... loudandclearreviews.com/rebuilding-f...

Fantastic review. One of your best #Trier #SentimentalValue

For Cinematic Sense, my review of Jafar Panahi's Palme d'Or winning IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT...

My review of WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY for Cinematic Sense...

My review of THE SECRET AGENT for Cinematic Sense...

This very assured debut provides a look at a dictatorship through a child’s point of view. Read @danielallen.bsky.social's review of Hasan Hadi's THE PRESIDENT'S CAKE from the BFI London Film Festival! #LFF loudandclearreviews.com/the-presiden...

DRY LEAF: A three-hour meander through Georgia's rural villages, shot on an old Sony Ericsson? Only Alexandre Koberidze could pull this off - and he does. Artful, distinctive and singular filmmaking. For @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social... #LFF #LFF2025 loudandclearreviews.com/dry-leaf-fil...

LUCKY LU: Operates like a modern version of Bicycle Thieves in a just-as-uncaring gig economy world. However, there is a point where the grim inevitability of the film's events becomes unrelenting misery. Doesn't grab me as it should, even with Chang Chen's noteworthy performance. #LFF #LFF2025

Time for another catch-up review. This time, I looked at SEED OF THE SACRED FIG (very good), THE EXTRAORDINARY MISS FLOWER (OK if one-note) and LAST SWIM (marvellous). For Cinematic Sense... cinematicsense.home.blog/2025/08/20/f...

Cinematic Sense turns 6 today. Every year, I use this anniversary to review a classic film that I adore. This time, I’ve written about Peter Bogdanovich’s thrilling, Barbra Streisand-starring screwball comedy WHATS UP, DOC? cinematicsense.home.blog/2025/08/16/w...

It’s Saturday Night and I just watched SATURDAY NIGHT… it’s not great. boxd.it/aKXspP
