Film Review: Companion
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation While it’s reputation as a dumping ground hasn’t been completely unfounded, in recent years January has slowly but surely also developed a reputation for putting stranger, more out there affairs for studios who may not be confident in their overall success. Just two years ago saw the release of M3GAN…

Film Review: The Brutalist
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Made for only $9.6 million, The Brutalist feels like a towering feat. It is in itself a statement; a huge, monumental picture that feels huge and monumental while only using a fraction of the resources that is normally given to a feature like this. Very fitting that a film about…

Film Review: Wicked
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Getting a Wicked movie always felt like something of a weird pipedream. Seemingly in development for a decade and talked about for even longer, by the time it got to our movie screens it almost feels like a nostalgia property rather then a hot of the Broadway ticket adaptation that…

Film Review: Better Man
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Like a lot of non-European folks, I was mostly unfamiliar with Robbie Williams prior to this film, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. While Take That was a musical staple in the UK, their success never truly translated to the US, and because of that despite Robbie Williams…

Film Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation I’m finding it difficult to start my writeup this time around. Normally how these things go is “unfunny one liner to grab your attention, explaining the premise, and then launching into tirades about nothing”, which works for about 95% of the things I write without fail. Rinse, repeat, post, see…

Film Review: A Different Man
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Aaron Schimberg’s A Different Man, which begins on a man’s face being scanned for the possibility of treatment, is one of the most unique films of the year simply by the means of it’s execution. Steeped in old school cinematography stylings that wouldn’t feel out of place in something like…

Film Review: Kneecap
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not exactly fully verse in the complex geopolitical landmine that is Northern Ireland. My experience with it is completely tangential and mostly through screens, news, and media; I’m witnessing it mostly through others eyes rather then my own. It’s interesting though how…

Film Review: The Seed of the Sacred Fig
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Mohammad Rasoulof has more guts then anybody else alive right now. The Seed of the Sacred Fig is worth watching regardless of it’s quality simply cause of the things that director Rasoulof had to go through in order to get it made. Rasoulof has been arrested by Iranian authorities several…
