'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016)' – Review

I first discovered Tina Fey in the teen comedy Mean Girls (2004), back when I was pre-pubescent and lacked the mental capacity to comprehend what high school even was. I didn’t appreciate all that she is back in those fumbling years of my youth, but I do now.

'The Divine Order' – Review

Petra Biondina Volpe’s The Divine Order is a converstation starter, and a film with a touching sentiment at its core, but it leaves a lot of open questions and evokes the uneasiness of modern identity politics, by shying away from the complexities of our own age.

'Mrs. Hyde' – Review

Mrs. Hyde (sometimes known as Madame Hyde) is a French film about a teacher named Marie Gequil aka Madame Hyde. It’s not my first French film, but I have only seen a handful, so I was interested to see if this film would be similar to my other experiences.

'Finding Your Feet' – Review

After 35 years of marriage, Sandra (Imelda Staunton) stumbles upon her husband Mike (John Sessions) in the cellar with their close friend Pam (Josie Lawrence) – Pam’s tacky red lipstick smeared across his face. And so it goes in the British comedy-drama from director Richard Loncraine, Finding Your Feet.
