I first watched this film out of genuine curiosity. I stumbled across it one night on BBC iPlayer and immediately got my heart broken and my soul crushed by this beautiful film, the biopic-Esque film loosely inspired by Charlotte Wells’ own childhood. After stumbling upon this film, it found me…

The sweetest film about the sweetest bear to ever exist! The Paddington movies have been a staple in the lives of many families since 2014, although he was well-known before this, as he first appeared in media in October 1958, in a series of books written by Michael Bond. Since…

First, I want to say that this film is brilliant, it’s one of my all-time favourites. This beloved teen romantic comedy that artfully adapts William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew into a late-‘90s American high school setting. The other day, I put it on for my family, and my…

This film is everything to me and then just a little bit more!! My friend and I saw this at the cinema and honestly we had the perfect viewing experience, we’re both avid Dead Poets Society fans so this film was right up our street. Overall, I found this film…
