'Unsane' - Review

You know that feeling when you go to the cinema by yourself? There’s a group in the row behind gossiping mindlessly. You had arranged to meet someone, who cancelled, now you are alone.

'A Wrinkle in Time' - Review

“I am underwhelmed,” I said, pushing open the doors to the cinema as the credits for A Wrinkle in Time rolled on behind me. I chose this particular wording because it was a favourite line in the film, stated not once but twice by two different characters, during two completely unrelated scenes with no one connection to the other whatsoever.
