“I brush up all right, don’t I?” RIP Anthony Head. I interviewed him back in 2006, and he was every bit as gorgeous a human, in every sense, as you’d hope. What a sad loss.

Fresh from #LFF is my review of Nia DaCosta's #Hedda, a debaucherous riot of a film which sees Tessa Thompson in fine form. Seriously, I hope these cinematic Queens continue making movies together. They're special. My thoughts for @moviemarker.bsky.social. www.moviemarker.co.uk/london-film-...

Zilbalodis’s Flow is a really moving, well-written & impressively animated film centered on a brave cat journeying through a post-apocalyptic world. Leaving behind the anthropomorphic tradition of animated films, Flow’s a groundbreaking step forward for the genre. Thanks @curzoncinemas.bsky.social

The Holdovers The biggest surprise of this year's London Film Festival is The Holdovers. I had no expectations, but Alexander Payne knows how to create a fantastic comedy. The perfect Christmas-themed nostalgic and bittersweet movie.

Lff Diaries All of Us Strangers stole a piece of my heart. May December is the melodrama everybody should talk about. Such an interesting character-study. Eileen was full of unexpected twists. Chaos, I loved it. I want my the hours that Foe, Maestro, and The Bikeriders stole from me.
