Director Olivia Wilde welcomes us into a phenomonal four-hander with her latest piece, The Invite. Old-fashioned in its stylish Allen-esque design and yet wickedly relevant in its playful probing of contemporary relationships. Incredibly funny and quietly moving. The score is sublime. What a film!

Shane Meadows' iconic revenge film Dead Man's Shoes is getting a @secondsightfilms.bsky.social release in August! It's one of my all-time favourites so speaking to him about it back in 2023 was a huge highlight for me. Here's a reminder of that interview! cinemaperspective.com/2023/08/25/d...

One week deep into the World Cup, today’s #ThrowbackThursday review is footballer biopic I Am Zlatan! cinemaperspective.com/2022/06/14/f...

Emily Blunt & Josh O’Connor elevate sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s latest imagining of extraterrestrial contact. It’s Nolan-esque in its convoluted storytelling but stays true to the director’s signature sense of wonder. The score typically swells. The final act is cinema magic.

DEAD MAN’S SHOES: LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY released Aug 10, preorder now! Featuring new audio commentaries, cast & crew interviews and more! Plus 120-page book, graphic novel & art cards! Std Ed also available. bit.ly/DeadMansShoe...

Today’s #ThrowbackThursday review is Good Luck with to You, Leo Grande! cinemaperspective.com/2022/06/23/f...

Just realised Finding Emily’s Spike Fearn was in Aftersun

It might look like another glossy Netflix romcom but Office Romance has a script packed with tired transatlantic “humour” & dick jokes that could’ve been left for the next Austin Powers sequel. Tonally this is all over the place and it’s romantic leads go together like cottage pie & pancakes.

💡 NEW REVIEW! 💡 Kane Parsons’ abstract horror Backrooms is in cinemas now… cinemaperspective.com/2026/06/06/f...

Today’s #ThrowbackThursday review is romantic drama All of Us Strangers! cinemaperspective.com/2024/02/03/f...

With a vibrant style and cool indie soundtrack, there’s a real passion for Manchester in Alicia MacDonald’s charming rom-com Finding Emily. Its story has the comforting, familiar rhythm of a Richard Curtis classic and yet it feels very contemporary in its storytelling. Fearn & Rice are fantastic 🐝

🩸NEW REVIEW! 🩸 Curry Barker's supernatural horror OBSESSION is out now in selected UK cinemas! cinemaperspective.com/2026/05/22/f...

With his latest film Her Private Hell dividing audiences at Cannes, today’s #ThrowbackThursday is Nicolas Winding Refn’s fashion thriller The Neon Demon! cinemaperspective.com/2016/10/29/f...

Finally getting around to watching this. Perfect kind of film for a Sunday afternoon.

A wee Keanu kick!

"I’ve got to figure out ways to change the game somehow so that my frustration isn’t eating up so much psychic real estate.” I interviewed Steven Soderbergh about THE CHRISTOPHERS for @bigissue.com – available now in print and online. www.bigissue.com/culture/film...

🧨 NEW REVIEW! 🧨 Ben Wheatley’s comedic action thriller Normal is out today. I wasn't that big on it. cinemaperspective.com/2026/05/01/f

I love me a romcom and thought Finding Emily was absolutely lovely. It's charming and funny, and Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice work brilliantly together. This put a massive smile on my face. In cinemas from 22nd May. Review: missflicks.com/2026/05/13/f...

Today's #ThrowbackThursday review is Mike Flanagan's horror sequel Doctor Sleep! cinemaperspective.com/2019/11/13/f...

Full of mystery, jump-scares, and nastiness, Damian McCarthy's folk-horror tale Hokum follows a cynical American author who retreats to a creepy guest house in Ireland to finish his latest novel. Is the hotel actually haunted or is it the writer himself? A great genre piece & genuinely unnerving!

Today’s #ThrowbackThursday review is comic thriller Sanctuary! cinemaperspective.com/2023/03/29/f...

Evolving from magazine spreads to digital content, legacy sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 is just as glossy as its iconic original. It’s refreshing to see women defined by their ambition rather than family and behind all the fun quips, it puts a stylish nail in the coffin of contemporary journalism.

Returning to the cinema after a three week hiatus to see this oldie at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social!
