Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN is actually great!😍

Smart narrative choices, tense action scenes, the right humor & a committed cast make this adaptation fun & gripping but also bleak & introspective, and I really liked its subversive ending and Michael Cera & Lee Pace's characters.

Review👇
Both subversive and true to the book, this adaptation manages to be not only action-packed, fun, and entertaining, but also grim, introspective and thought-provoking.

My first interview that contains both words like "transmogrification" & "exponential encrustation of ideas" and the word "fucked-up-ness"! 😆😍

I was finally able to write my last review from the London Film Festival! 😅

I loved Cal McMau's WASTEMAN! Here are my thoughts 👇
"Above all, this is a story of survival, where the only ones who’ll make it out alive are those who have always known how to do the right thing."

Read @serenaseghedoni.bsky.social's review of the David Jonsson and Tom Blyth-starring WASTEMAN, which was screened at #LFF last month! 🔥🤩

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wasteman Review: Hypnotic & Potent Prison Drama
Cal McMau's Wasteman grabs you and never lets go; David Jonsson and Tom Blyth are superb in this slow-burning tale of survival.

I was finally able to write my review of RENTAL FAMILY, my favourite film of the year! 🥰👇
An ode to all the people out there who are lonely, grieving and in pain, a lesson on how healing comes from within, and a reminder that we are alive."

Brendan Fraser, Akira Emoto and Shannon Gorman excel in the "irresistibly human" RENTAL FAMILY!😍

Blown away by WASTEMAN!

David Jonsson and Tom Blyth are phenomenal in this tense, bold, unpredictable drama about quiet survival and not losing sight of who you are.

One of my favourite films of #LFF!

I can't stop thinking about Genki Kawamura's EXIT 8! 🥰

My review from the BFI London Film Festival 👇

@loudandclearrvs.bsky.social
"Genki Kawamura teaches us that to be human is to make choices, even when we can't predict the outcome."

Read @serenaseghedoni.bsky.social's review of the "haunting and gripping" EXIT 8 (8番出口), another standout at the BFI London Film Festival!

"What’s most astonishing about Sink is Duraie’s ability to move between very jarring tones and genres and still deliver a narrative that’s not only coherent, but also incredibly effective."

My review of SINK (Gharaq) from the BFI London Film Festival 👇

#LFF @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social
"Duraie's tender, heartbreaking, disquieting film offers all the Nadias out there a life jacket to keep them afloat."

Interview with writer-director Zain Duraie very soon!

My first review from the BFI London Film Festival!

Don't miss HUMAN RESOURCE! ❤️🔥

In the refreshingly bleak HUMAN RESOURCE, Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit holds up a mirror to our capitalist society & shows us that this world isn’t meant for good people.

I changed my mind multiple times about this film, but after really thinking about it (or, rather, not being able to stop thinking about it!), I've come to the conclusion that it's only deceptively simple.

JAY KELLY is exactly my kind of film. So much to think about but also very funny and entertaining, fantastic acting, interesting storytelling choices, and I even found myself crying at the end ❤️.

Review for @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇
"And maybe it's all a performance, and it's all an illusion, but it's *your* illusion, and it's all you have."

George Clooney, Billy Crudup and Adam Sandler excel in Noah Baumbach's JAY KELLY, our first 5-star review from the festival! 🤩
