Reviews: Love Me (2025)
I know I didn’t give Love Me that good a review, but I think it’s still worth checking out, particularly for the first half, its visuals and creativity.

Review: Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2025)
This was delightful. I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: Babygirl (2024)
I’ve been really looking forward to this one, especially because it’s what is known as “divisive”. It’s fun to finally see it and make up my own mind. I’ve been writing about Harris Dickinson since he first arrived in 2017’s … Continue reading
Review: The Last Showgirl (2024)
Pamela Anderson gives one of the best performances of the year. I’m so happy about it and so happy I got to review The Last Showgirl. Thank you so much for stopping by. If you like what I … Continue reading

Review: Small Things Like These (2024)
Cillian Murphy gives one of my favorite performances this year in the quiet painful Small Things Like These, an intimate character study with Ireland’s shameful Magdalene Laundries looming over everything. I reviewed for Ebert. Thank you so much … Continue reading
Review: No Other Land (2024)
A very tough challenging watch. But it should be watched. (In my review for Ebert I mention Green Border, directed by Polish master Agnieszka Holland, released earlier this year. See it. One if fictional – but barely – it’s really … Continue reading
Review: Magpie (2024)
There’s a lot that’s fun here, particularly the subtleties of psychology on display. You might miss the subtleties because of the style of the film and the twisty-clever plot – but for me the emotional insights were the real point … Continue reading
