The Becomers

absolutely unhinged alien invasion story. Gloriously low budget with shonky acting and enthusiastic vfx. Bodysnatchers, biblical sex cults, and glowing eyes

The Bikeriders

I enjoyed this a lot. Tom Hardy on fine form and Jodie Comer was fab. It’s not really so much about the story (bike gang, power struggle, etc) so much as the mood. It looked and sounded incredible.

The Breaking Ice

A very low key slice of three briefly connected lives in the frozen north of china. It’s simple and sad and full of small moments but doesn’t really go anywhere. But I enjoyed it.

The Holdovers

Quite lovely. Utterly predictable but it’s a love letter to 70s filmmaking that is a joy to watch. An unlovable teacher and student find common ground when forced to spend Christmas together

The Hypnosis

At last, some Scandinavian black comedy! Lots of awkward and cringe inducing moments as well as some genuine hilarity. Watch it.
