01.05.2025 11:30 — 👍 23 🔁 2 💬 2 📌 0Yes it's the full five gold stars from me for Warfare, because it blew my head off. It's nerve-shredding cinema, brutal and upsetting. As it should be.

24.03.2025 10:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0FLOW is finally out in UK cinemas. A hugely-deserving Oscar-winner and one of the best films you'll see this year, animated or otherwise. My review:
21.03.2025 16:54 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Tried to find the words about The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman's almost-final role: a gorgeous film which carries an extra resonance today.

Screenshot of Gene Hackman in Postcards From the Edge that reads: “Ah, you just like it ‘cause it sounds a little”
Screenshot of Gene Hackman in Postcards From the Edge that reads: “like movie dialogue”
Screenshot of Merck Streep in Postcards From the Edge that reads: “I don’t want life to imitate art”
Screenshot of Merck Streep in Postcards From the Edge that reads: “I want life to be art”
Gene Hackman single-handedly carries some of cinema’s greatest films but it is his turn in the often overlooked POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE that comes to mind when I hear his name, such an assured yet tender presence in a film that so sharply understands the joys and burdens of the job. Heartbroken.

A little late posting, but it was my pleasure to host our Empire VIP Flow event with filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis. A remarkable, staggeringly beautiful film about a small black cat, a natural disaster, and the terrifying process of trusting and accepting others.
20.02.2025 11:37 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0My main takeaways from the first six feverish hours of this season are that Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey are having a ball, the staff need more screentime, it goes darker and is a better season because of it, and Aimee Lou Wood would be great value on a night out. Some more organised thoughts here:
