Waiting for the Barbarians Review

A version of this review originally appeared on CineChat. I accidentally stumbled in to a screening of Waiting for the Barbarians during the press screenings at last year’s London Film Festival.

The Short History of the Long Road Review

A version of this article originally appeared on CRPWrites.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Review

Ouija Shark Review

A version of this article originally appeared on CRPWrites. Opening Whilst I was watching Ouija Shark, I could see hundreds of flaws in the film but continued to give the film the benefit of the doubt, assuming it was the work of young filmmakers on a shoestring budget. There were glimmers of potential and building… Continue reading Ouija Shark Review
