The Cannes Affair, 2018: Part One

Love affairs can be enduring. Some are more short-lived than most. Cannes Film Festival, for me, was the one that got away. I thought I’d never be back here again.…

The Moviejerk’s Best of Cinema: 2017 Edition

Jackie (2017)

Grief, at least on this planet, spares no one. Not even a magnificently bejewelled, bouffant-haired, Chanel-coutured First Lady of the United States, who is naturally expected to project impeccable poise…

Gold (2017)

If the likes of Mud, Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club, True Dectective and The Wolf of Wall Street haven’t convinced you of The McConaughey Effect, something must be wrong with you.…

The Moviejerk’s Best of Cinema: 2016 Edition

Whatever the hell Martin Scorcese’s been smoking these days, I’m not having any of it. Spouting untruths like a proclaimer of gospels, he righteously preaches “Cinema is gone!”, after which millions of over-stressed…

The Best of Cinema: 2016 Supercut

The Year 2016 was a year we’d all love to hate. Alright, ‘hate’ is too strong a word and there’s certainly too much of that in our planet already. Nonetheless, we might as well eschew 2016 A.D., reduce it into a blip or a little fart in the history of our species for once again, more than any other year, humankind proved its incurable capacity for Grand Idiocy.

Allied (2016)

Let’s get that damn elephant out of the room. The private lives of our silver screen stars theoretically have no place in the judgement of the cinematic products we consume,…

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (2016)

Just when you thought J.K. Rowling hadn’t milked those gloriously prosperous udders of the Harry Potter royalty cow enough, the prolific writer pulls a volte-face on that “no more Harry…

London Film Festival 2016: Part One

There’s nothing like an autumn season film festival that can drag me out of my hole than London Film Festival, this frenetic city’s premier twelve-day movie marathon. OK, it’s not exactly…

Me Before You (2016)

I cannot begin to tell you, dear reader, how much I actively despise the existence of this movie. Not only does its title scream of horrid selfishness (‘me’ comes before ‘you’, even…

Possession (1981)

Divorce ain’t easy. Same in real life as it is in movies, the conscious uncoupling of the human species are most likely prone to jealousy, selfishness and bitter break-ups rather…

The Neon Demon (2016)

Carol (2015)

There’s rarely anything out there that feels as deeply as Carol. Todd Haynes’ achingly sublime, artful evocation of love is a rarefied, nearly-extinct breed of cinema that breathes life into the classically…

Love (2015)

Hell hath no fury than a transgender woman scorned. In Sean Baker’s gloriously scathing, but not inhumane, revenge dramedy Tangerine, a recently unleashed jailbird tears through Santa Monica boulevard like…
