  • “The Lighthouse is an eerie, dreamlike psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s shot in stunning black-and-white and creates a unique, haunting atmosphere. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe give great performances that add to the intensity of the film. It’s an enthralling and unnerving experience that you won’t soon forget.

17. Review of Us

  • “Us is an ambitious, thought-provoking horror film that’s every bit as complex and funny as it is spine-tingling. Writer-director Jordan Peele has crafted another instant classic with an amazing cast led by a standout performance from Lupita Nyong’o. It’s filled with sharp dialogue and unexpected twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. While it may not be as frightening as Get Out, Us is still a thrilling and entertaining piece of cinema that’s sure to please fans of horror, thrillers and clever dramas alike. A must-see.”

18. Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home

  • “Spider-Man: Far From Home is an absolute blast from start to finish. Tom Holland is fantastic as Peter Parker, capturing the wit, humor, and charm of the character perfectly. He’s joined by an incredibly strong cast, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon shining in particular. The action sequences are spectacular, and the special effects are top-notch. Far From Home builds on the MCU in a meaningful and exciting way, and it’s sure to please both fans of Spider-Man and the wider Marvel universe. A must-see!”

19. Review of Judith Confronts Holofernes

  • “Judith Confronts Holofernes is an intense, blood-soaked horror film set in the 16th century. It follows two women as they search for sanctuary in a distant town, and the horrors that await them along the way. Director Giancarlo Sanchez creates an eerie atmosphere that never fails to send a chill up your spine. The acting is great, with stars Lea Vendela and London Keyes delivering strong performances. It’s a unique and well-crafted rollercoaster ride of a movie that is sure to please fans of the horror genre. Highly recommended!”

20. Review of Jojo Rabbit

  • “Jojo Rabbit is an incredibly unique film. It is both funny and touching, and filled with plenty of surprises. It’s an anti-hate satire that follows a young German boy, Jojo, and his imaginary friend, an idiotic version of Adolf Hitler. Taika Waititi’s direction is masterful, and the writing is sharp and witty. The acting is also top-notch, with a delightful performance from Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo, and an equally strong one from Sam Rockwell as the over-the-top Hitler. Jojo Rabbit is a must-see for anyone who loves a good comedy with plenty of heart.”
