đš #Kokuho: âââââ (out in cinemas 8 May)
"As an immersive cinematic experience released in 2026, it will be hard to top Kokuho. A vibrant celebration of kabuki full of beauty and depth, Leeâs latest feature is an incredibly lush and emotional epic."

Wasn't a big fan of #TheTestamentofAnnLee, either:
"While Seyfried delivers her best role so far, the music and pacing cause the film to buckle its own ambition."

My first âââââ film of 2026 is Beth de AraĂșjo's #Josephine, which premiered at #Sundance2026:
"Tense, thoughtful and absorbing, Josephine is impeccable filmmaking."

So yeah, I did not like #WutheringHeightsMovie. Here is my â #review on Flickfeast:

Last film review from #Sundance is Liz Sargent's #TakeMeHome:
"Shows poignance and abundant affection...balances a sobering reality with heartfelt performances, raising awareness of a crisis that needs to be addressed."

đš #review: #ProjectHailMary - âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
"Project Hail Mary is a visual spectacle with Gosling on top form...A sci-fi adventure that will capture the eyes and hearts of audiences, Lord and Miller have created 2026âs first great blockbuster."

Well... #TheBride was disappointing:
"Has promise...but inconsistent visuals and character development stop it from reaching its full potential. So much so that not even the magic of Buckley can save it."

đš #ReadyOrNot2: âââ (out in cinemas now)
"The stakes are double or nothing with Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, but the film suffers without the surprise factor. However, the filmâs chaos and Newton and Weavingâs chemistry make the sequel a fun time."
