Gone Baby Gone
The way the story unfolds in this film is bizarre, causing the pacing to feel completely off.
Film & TV
Bound
This is such a strange story. First, we feel that the relationship between the two leads is going to be what the story is about. Nope. This is just the setup of the ordinary world for these two women. Yep, they like each other and they are both lesbians.
Luther
I have so much praise for the creation of this great character that Idris Elba brings to life.
Still Alice
This film looks at the impact of early-onset Alzheimer’s on Alice and her family. The decision to integrate both the impact on Alice and the way the disease is passed onto her children is bold but ultimately flawed.
Stateless
This is an intelligently written show that takes us on a journey through the lives of the main characters.
Total Control
Alex is royally screwed over by her new ‘allies’ who have dropped her into the senate. With this first cause lost she champions the death in custody of an Aboriginal girl for the remainder of the season.
The Battle Of Algiers
Some old films don’t date well because they try to show too much and we know it is fake. This is not one of those.

The Bride Of Frankenstein
This story is framed as a tale within a tale – Byron is visiting the Shelleys and Mary says that the story was going to continue.

All About Eve
The tone is set brilliantly with the introduction of the award that Eve, Anne Baxter, is about to win. The voiceover makes fun of the garish media coverage that muddies ‘other’ awards like the Pulitzer. This is a comedic drama.
The Shape Of Water
From the moment this film opens it is magical. We are underwater – but not. Everything is moving like it is under water but it is the real world.
