LFF 17: 'Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool' Review

LFF 17: 'Lady Bird' Review

Every year, London Film Festival has a surprise screening and this year, it was Greta Gerwig's directorial debut, Lady Bird, that took the LFF masses by storm. And here's my review of the pulpy coming-of-age film.
LFF 17: 'Call Me By Your Name' Review

Back in 2015, director Luca Guadagnino delivered us the triumphant and glamorous A Bigger Splash. This year, he follows it up with a tender, rousing tale of forbidden love in the Awards-tipped Call Me By Your Name.
LFF 17: 'The Forgiven' Review

Every film festival brings with it that film that flies under the radar, the kind of project that no one really takes time to see for one reason or another. At London Film Festival, that film is director Roland Joffe's politically-charged The Forgiven.
LFF 17: 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' Review

A24 have been on top of their game recently, with the likes of Moonlight, A Ghost Story, and more. And their latest, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, screened at London Film Fest. Here's my review.
LFF 17: 'Stronger' Review

Earlier this year, we received the powerhouse Patriot's Day - a film that delved into the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing. Following in the same steps, we now have another film that takes a look into the tragedy: Stronger.

From the pairing of the Nelms Brothers - Ian Nelms, and Eshom Nelms - comes the crime-thriller Small Town Crime. The film screened at this year's London Film Festival; here are my thoughts on it.
LFF 17: 'Battle of the Sexes' Review

2017 must be the year of the tennis films. Not long ago, we saw Borg McEnroe released and now it is being followed up by Oscars-tipped Battle of the Sexes. From LFF, here's my review of it.
LFF 17: 'Breathe' Review

As we near the end of the year, Awards Season is quickly approaching us and putting forward his contender for consideration is Andy Serkis, with his directorial debut Breathe. The film opened the London Film Festival, and here's my review of it.

This year, Paddy Considine returns to the writer and director's chair to helm his sophomore feature: Journeyman. The film received its world premiere at this year's London Film Festival, where I got to see it. 
LFF 17: 'Brawl In Cell Block 99' Review

I think it's safe to say that Brawl in Cell Block 99 is a fitting title that rather appropriately encapsulates the entire film itself. You're getting into exactly what you think you're getting into. From London Film Fest, here's my review.
LFF 17: 'The Shape of Water' Review

If there is one director we can always count on time and time again to deliver big with impressive features, it's Guillermo Del Toro and, his latest, one of my most anticipated of London Film Festival, The Shape of Water is no exception.
