Venice Film Festival: The Brutalist (2024) - Film Review - flickfeast Brady Corbet’s 225 minute long testament to the experience of the “American Dream” by a Hungarian architect called László Tóth, entirely shot on 70mm, is an achievement as towering as the imposing Bru...

Out this weekend, #TheBrutalist “is a modern masterpiece. One that many will come to look back on as landmark piece of American cinema”

Wolf Man (2024) - Film Review - flickfeast Do you remember the infamous “Dark Universe” photograph? The one with assembled Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp and Sofia Boutella like one of those Vanity Fair covers? The one t...

“A lean, mean, nasty thrill ride that will leave fans hungry (like the Wolf) for more of Leigh Whannell’s personal Dark Universe”

Review of Nosferatu that reads:
Nosferatu? More like Yes-feratu.
Audiences will succumb to the darkness that permeates through every frame of Eggers’ adaptation of this classic vampire tale.
The cinematography, production design and score are all stunning, generating a sumptuous Gothic atmosphere dripping with menace.
The cast on the whole are great, with Skarsgard adding another iconic villain to his repertoire.
However the film’s only misstep is the casting of Aaron Taylor Johnson. He sticks out like a sore thumb, with his delivery and demeanour at odds with the tone created by the others.
Thankfully it is not enough to disrupt the dreamlike quality woven in this blood-curdling, beautiful nightmare.

#Wicked - This return to Oz is oddly flat in terms of visuals and choreography but the musical adaptation truly soars (defies gravity even) when focused on the relationship between Elphaba & Glinda.
Erivo is soulful and nails the big moments but it is Grande who impresses and a delightful surprise.

A great night celebrating the best of film and TV at the #BAFTAScotAwards
There is a LOT of fantastic arts and culture being made in Scotland and it should be supported at all levels in terms of funding, production and exhibition.
