I’ve always loved cinema and been in absolute awe of what some filmmakers are able to achieve through simply telling stories in which they wholeheartedly believe, and which they intend to resonate with as many viewers as possible – after all, what is this medium if it isn’t entirely and unimpeachably communal at its very…
Letty Lynton (1932)
At no point in history has it ever been easy to be a woman – whether it is the fact that society seems to think that it has any right to dictate the lives of half the population through laws that govern their bodies and freedom, or simply the staggering number of acts of violence…
Club Kid (2026)
My first encounter with Jordan Firstman was as a content creator on social media, with his biting sense of humour and keen awareness of social conventions leading to some hilarious and irreverent observations that defined his comedic style and allowed him to become quite a popular figure in the contemporary comedic scene. He further elevated…
Rosebush Pruning (2026)
More than sixty years ago, the brilliant Marco Bellocchio made Fists in the Pocket, his deeply disturbing and utterly brilliant satire about a homicidal young man who decides to combine his psychopathic urge to murder with his desire to be wealthy, using his family as targets. It is quite simply one of the greatest films…
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (2026)
It seems like it is impossible to follow any religion without undergoing some kind of crisis of faith. Regardless of the specific beliefs, or whether someone was raised in a certain religion or came to it later in life, it seems only natural to begin to doubt certain aspects when the message does not quite…

However, it’s undeniable that some have bigger challenges than others, and it almost seems like a curse that the…
The End of Oak Street (2026)
Imagine waking up one morning, looking out your window and realising that your entire neighbourhood has fallen through the cracks of some bizarre kink in the time-space continuum, leading to the entire area being transplanted into the prehistoric age, where we are suddenly forced to engage in an act of survival through the attempt to…
Pizza Movies (2026)
There are some dreams that are just too big not to pursue, and these are the ones that usually come to us at the most seemingly inopportune moments, which is part of why it is important to never shut down any possibilities, even if they can be borderline absurd at the best of times. This…
The Wrong Girls (2026)
Friendships can be tricky – finding people who share your interests and whose company you enjoy keeping can be a wonderful experience, but like any relationship, it requires constant work, especially when it comes to those friendships that are closer and more intimate. Whether childhood companions, best friends or roommates, there’s something about being a…
Exit 8 (2026)
There’s a frustration that comes with realising that life is, at its core, nothing more than a series of routines, repeated ad nauseam until something else interrupts them and inevitably just becomes part of the same cycle after a while, proving that novelty is mostly a luxury for the vast majority of us. It’s a…
