Review by Katie McKenna Going to the cinema alone is one of my guilty pleasures. A lot of people ask me why I love seeing films solo so much and I usually give them a pretentious answer like; “having other people around ruins the immersion”. That’s not the truth. It’s because I cry easily atContinue reading “Everything Everywhere All at Once”

The Batman
Review by Cat Earley When Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut finally hit cinemas in 1992, audiences were relieved to see – among many other things – that the infamous voiceover had been axed from the film at last. After years of waiting, fans could finally enjoy the ice-cold Harrison Ford experience that hadContinue reading “The Batman”
The House
Review by Alexander Garrett Can you charge rent on the laughter of children? Pay interest on a home-cooked meal? Watching TV in the bedroom, cuddling on the couch. Stair-lifts, hide-and-seek, faded photos on the mantle, empty cans in the garden. Arguments, eviction notices, and cockroaches under the stairs, breeding in the rotting fetid darkness. GoodContinue reading “The House”
The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert
Review by Niamh Muldowney Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary series, The Beatles: Get Back was an astonishing piece of work, synthesising over sixty hours of footage and over a hundred and fifty hours of audio, into a nearly eight hour Beatles marathon. The sprawling documentary, constructed from Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s footage of the songwriting sessions leading upContinue reading “The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert”
Death on the Nile
Review by James Mahon Kenneth Branagh is back as Agatha Christies’ brilliant Belgian (not French) detective Hercules Poirot in Death on the Nile (Kenneth Branagh 2022), after the relative success of his recreation of Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express (Kenneth Branagh 2017). With Branagh remaining in the director’s seat and Michael Green once againContinue reading “Death on the Nile”
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
Review by Cat Early Upon the announcement and subsequent release of Michael Showalter’s new biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021), it would have been an understatement to say that my initial reaction was to be somewhat skeptical of it. We are, after all, living through an era in which biopics have become immensely popularContinue reading “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”
Memoria
Review by Ciaran Drohan In the mid-1970s, a friend visited Brian Eno while he was recovering in hospital after a car crash. Before leaving, she put on a record of classical harp music, however the volume was quite low and the music blended into the sound of rain, hospital machinery and distant chatter. This momentContinue reading “Memoria”
Nightmare Alley
Review by Cathal Eustace Nightmare Alley was fun, sexy and I liked it. However I only liked it– let me elaborate. This film will not be a classic but who can foretell the future– Regardless there’s nothing exceptionally strong in the narrative. You could watch the first 30 minutes of the film and predict theContinue reading “Nightmare Alley”
West Side Story
Review by Sophie Furlong Tighe Hollywood’s perverse obsession with remaking beloved films has claimed another victim, it seems— West Side Story. There’s much to roll one’s eyes at, before even entering the theatre. Can’t we make new films? Would that be so bad? However, with Tony Kushner (author of Angels in America, among other masterpieces) andContinue reading “West Side Story”
