Broken English (dir. Jane Pollard & Iain Forsyth)
Broken English is a documentary that feels like it’s fighting against itself. It mostly succeeds as an analysis of Marianne Faithfull’s life but the overarching concept in which it is framed gets in the way of this on multiple occasions. #LFF
Jay Kelly (dir. Noah Baumbach)
There’s a lot to like about Jay Kelly. Clooney steals the show with a brilliantly honest performance whilst Baumbach works wonders with both his direction and script. A genuine love letter to a golden age of actors we don’t see anymore. #LFF
Tuner (dir. Daniel Roher)
Tuner is the film I didn’t know I needed in my life. A brilliant blend of comedy, heartfelt drama and crime thriller escapades that feels near effortless in execution. All of it topped off with very genuine performances across the board and pitch perfect direction. #LFF
The Voice of Hind Rajab (dir. Kaouther Ben Hania)
This is easily one of the most stressful and emotionally draining films I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s a harrowing but important watch that everything should try to see. #LFF
Ballad of a Small Player (dir. Edward Berger)
What a film to start the day with. Edward Berger delivers an energetic, fever dream of a film that at times can be a bit much. Farrell is brilliant in the lead role but overall it took me a while to fully click with its madness. #LFF
Love, Brooklyn (dir. Rachael Abigail Holder)
I wanted to like this one but unfortunately outside of some great performances from André Holland and DeWanda Wise everything else didn’t work for me. It could be the pacing or its lacklustre dialogue but either way it left me rather underwhelmed. #LFF
Ultras (dir. Ragnhild Ekner)
Ultras is a fascinating watch. One minute football fan culture can be seen as a beautifully unifying experience and the next it can seem utterly terrifying and Ekner balances both aspects perfectly without favouring one over the other. #LFF
Fwends (dir. Sophie Somerville)
This is a delight of a film. Fwends is a light, quirky and reaffirming little comedy drama that effortlessly captures two friends reconnecting after a long time. A really lovely watch. #LFF
Only On Earth (dir. Robin Petré)
Though its core purpose is as clear as day, Only On Earth struggles a bit due to a lack of cohesion. It delivers stunning cinematography and a powerful message but for a documentary like this it needs more than that to achieve its intended impact. #LFF
As it is #LFF time again and I don’t use Twitter anymore, this will be where I post my initial thoughts on films I see at the festival.

STRANGE JOURNEY: THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR (2025) Review
"Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a poignant and emotional look into the origins, success, and legacy..." says Aaron.
At the moment, this is what my planned #LFF line up is looking like like.
Obviously between now and October some things could change/be added but I’m pretty confident this will be my itinerary for the festival.
Our review for Tron (1982) is now up as we start building towards Tron: Ares! Expect reviews every Tuesday...

I am truly baffled by the amount of people who attended Dua Lipa’s gig at Wembley and don’t know who Jamiroquai are.

Ncuti, you have been a truly fantastic doctor in every way. You brought so much energy and emotion to the character. Thank you 🙏

I don’t know why, but nu-metal music just scratches an itch in my head every time I listen to it.

Ngl from the episodes I’ve seen so far, this newest season of Love, Death & Robots is rather underwhelming.
