Films Reviews (By Enjoyment)

All other things aside, how did you feel for those two hours? Were you glued to your seat? Did the film speak to your soul? Was it upsetting, disappointing, or just plain boring? Were you even awake?

Marked out of 5.

Lady Chatterley

Though not without its strengths, Lady Chatterley is ponderous and over-long

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane

It’s not just the boys who love Mandy Lane; Jonathan Levine’s camera seems pretty damn enamoured too

Savage Grace

Gay cinema in the US suffers from something of an identity crisis, a symptom no doubt of the fact that Hollywood still hasn’t really come out of the closet.

Paris

In Paris, the point is life.

Baby Mama

The idea behind Baby Mama – a 37-year-old single woman has a baby on her own – is a great one.

Donkey Punch

Taking part in a sex act that has achieved the status of urban legend is all fun and games until someone gets killed.
