Got Film?
Cinema is all around us. We grow up watching movies, we learn from them, we share them. At Trinity Film Review, we know what makes a movie great and what makes a movie not-so-great. We want to hear you tell us why.

The Lad Goodbye
Review by Cat Earley Following their previous flick – the short film Hi, Lad (2020) – Victor Dubyna, Nolan O’Kane, and Kirk Percival of Lad Films released their first feature film, and continuation of their short in what they have self-described as a ‘stoner-noir’.

Elvis
Review by Cat Earley In an age where biopics show no end in sight, Elvis (2022, Baz Luhrmann) is one of the more predictable releases of the year. With the legacy of Moulin Rouge!
