Hollywood’s dark era: where did all the colour from movies go? Blockbuster sequel Wicked: For Good has become the latest film to receive complaints about both the lack of colour and the inconsistent lighting

Read my latest piece for the Guardian, asking what happened to vibrant and saturated colour in film! I chat with experts and critics to get to the bottom of it: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

The Bear Season 4…not bad but lost the magic? Where was the plot? The tension? Anything? It felt like a collection of one off episodes

Best place on earth, totally magical etc etc. feel so lucky to have been 5 times in a row and experienced the magic of Worthy Farm again and again. But also excited to sleep in a real bed and not be awoken by music at 4am/a child kicking my tent 2 inches from my head
