A Witty, Wrenching Coming-of-Age That Proves Laughter and Grief Can Coexist

Every year, there’s that one film that blindsides you. At Sundance 2025, Sorry, Baby was that film. The kind of quietly revelatory, emotionally complex, and tonally daring project that reminds you why you brave the lines and shuffle between screenings in the cold. An astonishing and idiosyncratic debut from writer-director-star Eva Victor, Sorry, Baby isn’t just a great first film — it’s the confident announcement of a singular new…

A Harrowing Masterclass in Objectivity and Outrage

In a year brimming with standout documentaries, The Perfect Neighbor emerges as one of the most emotionally potent and politically urgent films of 2025. Directed by the award-winning Geeta Gandbhir, the film premiered to thunderous acclaim at SXSW and has continued to haunt audiences ever since. It’s not just a documentary—it’s a gut punch. A quiet scream. A mirror held up to an American reality we too often try to look away from.…

Screams, Smoke, and Sonic Shrapnel

Warfare isn’t just a war movie—it’s a sensory ambush. Directed with haunting precision by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, this real-time boots-on-the-ground thriller based on memory doesn’t pull punches—it hurls them with military-grade force.

Joseph Quinn’s screams? Still echoing in my brain like post-battle tinnitus. His performance is feral, guttural, and unforgettable. The entire cast is blisteringly good, but it’s the sound design that deserves a Medal of Honor. From deafening gunfire to chaotic radio…

Camp, Carnage & Cotton Fields: Sinners Sings with Soul

Ryan Coogler, you magnificent man. Sinners is a fever dream dipped in blood, gospel, and glitter, and I mean that in the most reverent way possible. Yes, it’s messy. Yes, it’s long. Yes, there are Irish-dancing vampires. But somewhere between a juke t's wall-shaking blues and the Southern Gothic shadows of Mississippi’s cotton fields, this film transcends.

On paper, it's about twin brothers trying to outrun their past. In practice? It's a…

ROUND 3:
When Romance, Representation, and Realness Collide Beautifully

Some films just warm your heart, make you laugh out loud, and leave you grinning long after the credits roll—A Nice Indian Boy is one of them.

Roshan Sethi’s tender and hilarious rom-com is more than just a story about two men in love. It’s a celebration of queerness, cultural duality, and the messy, beautiful chaos of Indian family life. Anchored by knockout performances from Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff, the…

Saving the Irish language, one rebellious rhyme at a time!

If Trainspotting hooked up with a hip-hop biopic at an Irish language festival, their love child would be Kneecap. This film is an adrenaline-fueled, hilariously chaotic celebration of culture, rebellion, and the unlikeliest of hip-hop heroes. Directed by Rich Peppiatt, it tells the semi-autobiographical story of Kneecap, the Irish-language rap trio who turned their mission to preserve Gaeilge into a movement—and a damn good soundtrack.

First things first: the performances.…

When the devil’s in the details, call the exorcists!

Rarely does a film with this much hype live up to its reputation, but The Exorcist doesn’t just meet expectations—it projectile vomits over them. William Friedkin’s horror masterpiece remains as deeply unsettling as ever, a haunting cocktail of raw human emotion, theological exploration, and, of course, pea soup.

At its core, this movie isn’t just about demons—it’s about people. Ellen Burstyn’s turn as the desperate mother is a masterclass in unraveling…

A flop so funny, it’s a smash hit!

Mel Brooks’ The Producers is a comedy so outrageous it feels like it was concocted by two lunatics—and, appropriately, it’s about two lunatics concocting a comedy. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, the ultimate odd couple: a sleazy, washed-up producer and an anxiety-ridden ant who hatch a scheme to produce the worst musical ever written. Their masterpiece? A gloriously tasteless romp called Springtime for Hitler. Yep, this…

Justice is blind, but everyone here is squinting real hard.

Anatomy of a Murder is the courtroom drama that sets the bar and then pokes fun at it. Otto Preminger’s legal epic may clock in at nearly three hours, but its pace is snappier than James Stewart’s cross-examination comebacks. The movie hums with energy, balancing whip-smart dialogue, razor-sharp tension, and an ever-present undercurrent of moral ambiguity.

James Stewart plays Paul Biegler, a semi-retired lawyer with a knack for folksy charm…

Love, memory, and the art of turning heartbreak into poetry.

Watching Hiroshima Mon Amour feels like staring into a kaleidoscope of memory and emotion, where each turn reveals fragments of beauty, pain, and humanity. Alain Resnais’ debut narrative film opens like a wound—raw, unhealed, and utterly captivating. Through its fractured yet fluid structure, it explores love as both a fleeting connection and an unbearable reminder of the past.

Emmanuelle Riva is simply astonishing. Her performance as a French actress grappling…

Big hair, bigger egos, and Britain’s juiciest boardroom battles. It’s like Succession got a perm and a VHS player.

Hulu’s Rivals is an absolute delight—a gloriously chaotic, 1980s rollercoaster through Britain’s cutthroat TV industry. Think corporate backstabbing, bedroom shenanigans, and enough shoulder pads to outfit an entire decade. It’s not just good; it’s brilliantly bonkers.

David Tennant, as always, is magnetic. As the devilishly complex antagonist, he struts through the chaos with the kind of effortless charisma that makes you…
