Directed by Thom Lunshof Starring Hadewych Minis, Violet Braeckman, Oona De Kok, Aus Greidanus Jr. Fenna (Hadewych Minis) is living alone, in what looks like an industrial cathedral, which actually turns out to be an enormous offshore wind turbine, one of the few structures still above the waters in this post-climate change world.

Directed by James Nunn Starring Madison Davenport, Tracey Bonner, Joaquim de Almeida, Michel Curiel, Samantha Coughlan, Olivia Bernstone, Jim Meskimen, River Codack This was part of the Midnight Madness where, as the film festival organisers put it, we watch “f**ked up movies”, and the “Hungry” is, as some of you will have guessed, is as in the old family game “Hungry Hungry Hippos”, but of course they...

Read MoreReview: The Dog Stars is Watchable Yet Adds Nothing New
The thing about post-apocalyptic movies is that, so far, Earth has avoided living through any of the kind of apocalypses depicted. This enables filmmakers to come up with myriad ways to play out the events. However, almost all of these films include familiar tropes: the anxiety that leads to rage as resources dwindle, which then leads to poor choices and murderous intent. In the same way that many films...

Directed by Stanley Kramer Starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson, John Tate “Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, you’ll come a waltzing, Matilda, with me…” When I was a teen, back in the 1980s, the Doomsday genre was pretty well-established, from works like the BBC’s unbelievably powerful and bleak Threads dramatisation of a nuclear attack on a...

This century there have been eight stand-alone live action films, soon to be three Spiderverse animated movies and a modern Disney cartoon series. That hyphen has become ubiquitous. Here comes a new movie. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a great responsibility for new (to Spidey) director Destin Daniel Cretton. Cretton meets these...

Read MoreReview: The Last One For The Road – “feels like a Pinocchio-esque fever dream”
Ever since leaving my homeland twenty years ago, I must confess with great shame how Italian films have mostly eluded me, especially if they don’t manage to find a UK distributor. And yet, every time I make an effort to seek them out, I’m usually impressed by how vibrant our cinema can be. That’s exactly what happened with Francesco Sossai’s second feature, “The Last One for the Road (“Le Cittá di...
