Boiling Point movie review: out of the frying pan…

Fri, Dec 03, 2021

An electrifying work of high-wire cinematic theater, a one-take, one-location wonder. Documentary-esque but even more immediate, simultaneously intimate and explosive. Stephen Graham is glorious.

loaded question: what’s your favorite bit of shocking movie dialogue?

Mon, Nov 29, 2021

My choice is the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the question. If you’ve seen the 2005 ITV miniseries Secret Smile, you probably know what line of dialogue I’m talking about.

Shepherd movie review: gothic shaggy dog

Fri, Nov 26, 2021

Elegantly gloomy but ultimately unsatisfying gothic rural horror that is all too-static mood. Tom Hughes makes a valiant go of a descent into madness, but the character is little more than his misery.
