    The Lost City of Z

    Just wondering if anyone's seen this yet...? I haven't managed to catch it at the cinema yet, but I really love James Gray, and think We Own the Night and The Yards were minor American classics. In fact, he and Todd Field would be two of my all-time favourite contemporary American...

    Amy (2015)

    There are a lot of reasons to cry during a film, I guess. The last one that engulfed me in tears was Inside Out, where a little girl’s emotional journey in navigating a series of pre-teen life changes saw her say goodbye to friends both real and imagined and come to accept her existence in an...

    About to fall into sin.
