Squid – Bright Green Field
In a sea of similar UK art-punk outfits, Squid’s debut makes its impact via cohesive unpredictability and greater hooks than its contemporaries.
Category: Reviews
The Dissident
Brian Fogel’s latest documentary is a fantastic and vital piece of journalism, albeit one whose potency is dulled slightly by questionable presentation decisions.
Slalom
Charlène Favier’s debut feature is a perpetually unsettling and solidly-crafted abuse drama with a great central performance.
Music
Sia’s appalling vanity project is ableist, racist, inept garbage.
Baio – Dead Hand Control
Chris Baio’s third solo album is just fine even though it seems like the individual ingredients should add up to a more interesting record.
Joint Security Area (Blu-Ray)
The original Park Chan-wook breakthrough, whilst a touch ropier than the masterworks he would later create, gets a deserving remaster courtesy of Arrow Video.
Away
The soulful, powerful Away is more than just an undeniable artistic achievement. It’s also an excellent film.
So I’ve Been Playing Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time…
Toys for Bob’s hyper-faithful revival is simultaneously the best and worst Crash Bandicoot game in two decades. Which of those two is entirely dependent on how you play it.
Mogul Mowgli
Mogul Mowgli is a hypnotic, complicated, and often bold film only held back from true greatness by an abrupt resolution.
beabadoobee – Fake It Flowers
Fake It Flowers is a promising debut LP that nonetheless sees beabadoobee remain frustratingly on the cusp of greatness.
