Traitors is a new World War II drama which looked stylish from the trailers, and I thought was going for an Allied-style approach, as that’s a modern WW2 movie, but is it as entertaining in its own right? Well, it’s sort-of WW2, since it’s 1945 and the war is coming to a close. You’d think […]

Call Me By Your Name takes place in Northern Italy, over the summer of 1983 and centres around 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), and the older, Oliver (Armie Hammer), who’s hired to help Elio’s professor father (Michael Stuhlbarg) with his research into Greco-Roman culture. I knew nothing about the topic he’s studying, but I figured […]

Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins) and Zelda D Fuller (Octavia Spencer) are the facility’s resident cleaners, the former being a mute and the most curious about […]

Arrival: In a word… Weeeeeeeeeeeird! But that wouldn’t make much of a review. In a nutshell, it’s another film where aliens arrive on Earth, but one that’s centred more in the mould of drama than action, and begins with a dark, foreboding score by Jóhann Jóhannsson, particularly the additional track from Max Richter, On the […]
