• Netflix’s ‘Aggretsuko’ Season 2 Review

  

  I got drunk and watched most of this over the course of a single evening, then the rest in bed hungover the next morning. It’ll explain why I spent a lot of it in tears moaning about how hard life is for poor Retsuko who never did nothing wrong.

• Netflix’s ‘Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese’ Review

  

  I guess the experience of watching this film might be just about as overwhelming as watching one of the concerts. Yet at least the audience there would have had the benefit of context to experience it within.

• Netflix’s Black Mirror: ‘Smithereens’ Review

  

  Smithereens is overlong, tiresome, and I’d say meandering but like its hero it reaches a destination within half an hour and just sits in place waiting for something dramatic to happen. And then it does and it’s not worth the wait at all.

• Love, Death & Robots: ‘Lucky 13’ Review

  

  I’m not sure why the relationship between a space fighter pilot and her craft exudes a strong sapphic energy but it totally does. I mean, maybe because Samira Wiley (who lends her face and voice to a mocapped performance) is openly queer. Or because my twitter feed the past month has been a constant stream…

• Love, Death & Robots: ‘Fish Night’ Review

  

  I don’t think many of these films have great titles, but Fish Night may be the most blandly descriptive of the bunch. Fitting for a idea that comprises a lovely visual concept with very little to back it up and honestly, lines as ham-fisted as ‘Dead as our sales were last week.’ ensure that the visual splendour…

• Love, Death & Robots: ‘Helping Hand’ Review

  

  We all loved Gravity didn’t we? We all loved 127 Hours? (Though I think we might have forgotten that one.) Like a lot of these damn things, Helping Hand steals the most surface-y elements of the two without actually taking into consideration why. I needn’t explain the plot, if you have literally any idea at all about those…

• Sorry internet, theatres are still better than your home cinema.

  

  Cinemas have problems. I’ll be the first to admit it, but frustrating as they can be, there’s no better way to be watching films.
