THE INTERNET'S MOST HONEST FILM REVIEWS. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
Knife + Heart (2019)
Tackling the long asked question of where the line is between art and porn, Knife + Heart makes the most compelling case yet.

The Vanishing (1988)
Sluizer’s film is gripping from start to finish, Hitchcockian at times in its delivery and suspense.

Apocalypto (2006)
Gibson has learnt lessons from Braveheart, and proves that he really is a director to be reckoned with when he is this focused.

Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Three Days Of The Condor is held in high regard, and it's fun, but it's not essential.

Hollywoodland (2006)

Dec 3, 20232 min read
Saltburn (2023)
Saltburn is a flawed, darkly satirical, hugely enjoyable follow up to Promising Young Women for Emerald Fennell.
Dec 3, 20233 min read

Run Lola Run is a madcap experimental thriller with a constant pulsing techno score which adds to the madness.
