Flux Gourmet
Review by Sarah Murnane Flux Gourmet (Peter Strickland, 2022) is an independent movie that fails to hit the mark. The film follows a group of artists who join an institute dedicated to culinary performance. The ‘culinary collective’ made up of Billy (Asa Butterfield), Elle (Fatma Mohamed) and Lamina (Ariane Labed) gradually deteriorates in the search toContinue reading “Flux Gourmet”
Bullet Train
Review by Alex Garrett !!Spoilers Ahead!! No matter how pretentious and contrarian my opinions about films may be, ultimately, I am a simple man.

Min’s ‘technosapien’ Yang quotes Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: “what the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.” His human owner-slash-guardian, Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith) asks if Yang believes the same logic applies to humans whenContinue reading “After Yang”
Blackbird
Review by James Mahon If Michael Flatley’s recently released self-directed and produced film Blackbird (Michael Flatley, 2022) was a satire of the spy film genre it would be a ‘tour de force’.
