Time is a funny thing - I just realised that it’s been 20 years since we started Loose Lips. We were so green and keen and somehow got away with everything. As the site is slowly being redesigned, it’s been fun to look back on our many years of play… er… I mean work.

Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox reunite to discuss Back To The Future at 40 – and why it still resonates today.

“We live in a bully culture right now,” says Fox. “[The film] is all about how you stand up to them.”

We first covered the BFI London Film Festival 20 years ago for its 49th edition! Celebrating our own 20th anniversary alongside 20 years of us enjoying #BFI #LFF — let’s take a look back over the years…. #LooseLips20

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.

It also had Robert Redford’s beautiful farewell film — The Old Man and the Gun.

RIP to a legend, and to my time at the wonderful BFI LFF, which I deeply enjoyed and loved attending for well over a decade! Hopefully one day we meet again.

62nd BFI London Film Festival - Loose Lips

The 62nd BFI London Film Festival opened with Steve McQueen's heist thriller 'Widows', and closed with Laurel & Hardy biopic 'Stan & Ollie'.

The 62nd BFI London Film Festival was lowkey, but with memorable standouts: Mads Mikkelsen in Arctic, the film with the all-time best opening — Thunder Road, a screen talk by Alfonso Cuaron, The Sisters Brothers, The Favourite & Sorry to Bother You.

The 61st BFI London Film Festival was full of great films — The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Call Me By Your Name, Good Time, The Shape of Water & The Florida Project which I raved about so much, my quote made it onto the movie poster!

61st BFI London Film Festival - Loose Lips

Alongside showcasing a handful of the best from other fests, this year’s BFI London Film Festival held its own.

Loose Lips @looselips.bsky.social · 2d

For the 60th BFI London Film Festival, I repurposed many other festival reviews, as #LFF showcased the best of the rest of the fests. There were also some greats on site like Mike Birbiglia’s Don’t Think Twice & Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire. Also… MINDHORN!

I got to speak to Yorgos Lanthimos about my fave #TheLobster, which I found to be very cynical, while he claimed it was a love story for his wife. And Geena Davis held a symposium on Gender in Media.

Many great films were at the 59th BFI London Film Festival — The Lobster, High-Rise, Carol, Youth… Then there was Men & Chickens starring Mads Mikkelsen, which traumatized me with how gross it was.

The 58th BFI London Film Festival was the one where I was crushing on the talent. Brad Pitt said hello to me & my knees went weak. I realized Steve Carell is a stone cold fox. I was obsessed with Whiplash and was keen to talk to Damien Chazelle.

I seemed to follow around Tom Hanks during this #LFF from press conferences to screenings to red carpets to a BAFTA Life in Pictures interview where I had 1 glass of champagne & broke out in tears during a clip of Turner & Hooch (THAT’S the Tom Hanks film I cried at!?)

As if ‘Nightbitch’ had gone fully feral, ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ embraces bleak drama, with emotional turmoil at its centre.

Kiss of the Spider Woman is a beautiful love story about a prisoner & his cellmate, who bond through escapist fantasies. It’s also an old-fashioned Hollywood musical w/ unmemorable songs, lush technicolor & great dancing

Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ is a classic tale of parenthood, transposed onto a Gothic horror about humanity.
