Young Sherlock charges into action, but feels uncomfortably familiar Young Sherlock offers action-packed sequences and familiar Guy Ritchie-style storytelling, but struggles to distinguish itself as a fresh take on Holmes.

genuinely dont understand how YOUNG SHERLOCK is not a prequel to guy ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES, i feel like im being gaslit

Bridgerton season 4, part 2 is romantic escapism at war with itself Bridgerton is a sexy, swoon-inducing spectacle that dazzles. But can the show reconcile its romantic escapism with the politics of its reimagined past?

some more thoughts on BRIDGERTON & why these love stories are all starting to feel a little homogeneous

Project Hail Mary doesn’t suggest great things for the future of cinema – review This Ryan Gosling vehicle is immensely likeable and technically impressive, even if it has the whiff of top-shelf nostalgia

we should probably be concerned that some of hollywood’s greatest skill and effort is being funnelled into nostalgia bait like PROJECT HAIL MARY - but it’s also a very good movie, so what can you do

This movie boasts the most shocking scene of the year – but that’s about it: review A father hunts for his missing daughter in this tense Spanish thriller, but it’s not clear what director Óliver Laxe intends beyond provocation

ended up feeling quite underwhelmed by the inevitable “bass drop” moment of the EDM-fuelled SIRĀT

The Bride! claims to be the untold story of Frankenstein, but throws Mary Shelley under the bus The divisive movie is out now in cinemas.

The Peaky Blinders movie doesn’t make a great case for its existence – review This swan song for Cillian Murphy’s flat capped antihero – which introduces Barry Keoghan as his illegitimate son – is cool, bombastic and formulaic. Why fix something that’s not broken?

there’s not much PEAKY BLINDERS: THE IMMORTAL MAN actually does to bridge the gap between season six and the upcoming sequel series, but sometimes i do think its ok to just stop for a moment and appreciate cillian murphy

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! isn’t as feminist as it thinks it is – review The ‘Hamnet’ star reunites with her ‘Lost Daughter’ director on this playful and imaginative yet somewhat baffling experiment

i love a feral jessie buckley but there’s not all that much THE BRIDE! has to say but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

(also mary shelley get behind me, i will not let them disrespect you like this)

Skip Toy Story 5 and watch this warm and fuzzy Pixar film instead – review A teenage environmentalist goes undercover as a beaver in this wonderfully animated anti-capitalist tale that’ll gnaw at your heart

pixar straight back to business with HOPPERS & by that i mean providing accessible child psychotherapy

The new Scrubs is determined to pretend that it’s still 2007 Old faces, old rhythms, new interns: the Scrubs comeback sticks close to its early-2000s formula, for better and worse.

Amanda Seyfried is (maybe) the second coming of Christ in this sublime film – review This thrillingly iconoclastic musical – from the makers of ‘The Brutalist’ – tells the story of the leading prophet of the 18th-century Shaker movement, who preached celibacy, rejected conformity and ...

i have THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE fever. beautiful, brilliant, iconoclastic. do not talk to me unless it’s about what our mother ann lee has done

thanks for sharing!!

Hard agree! Saw it this afternoon. It's an absolutely *barnstorming* performance. Not sure I could ever watch it again mind.... (great review btw)

The Oscar-nominated If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a sublime endurance test – review Writer-director Mary Bronstein pushes her camera further and further onto Byrne’s face until it practically feels like we’re sitting in her eyeballs

what rose byrne is doing in IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU is less acting more self-administered open heart surgery. absolutely deserved the oscar nomination

for clarity im talking about posts like this… thousands of likes, directed at someone who has already suffered quite extreme physical violence bc of his condition

and yet it’s people like jhónelle, the ones who understand the exact nature of the pain inflicted on both communities (and it is both), who are being dismissed and attacked from all sides. so many of them have had to back away. i’m glad at least slate published this piece & i hope people read it

tbh it’s been v hard watching the treatment Black people w/ tourette syndrome & other neurological conditions have received online. disabled people are being used by racists as a weapon to attack Black people with, while i’ve seen the same calls for violence against davidson mentioned in the piece

it keeps getting worse

well it actually does matter quite a bit bc this kind of misinformation only harms the people who suffer from it more. your personal experience may be one thing, but it does not override medical fact.

i obviously & repeatedly have. the “that” position you are referring to is barring a human being from public life. i don’t think it’s asking the world that people maybe don’t immediately jump to this being the only solution to keep people safe

Akinola Davies Jr. "Free Palestine" remark cut from BBC coverage of the Baftas 2026

Apparently they had enough time to censor this though

it’s an extremely complicated matter bc disability IS complicated. but why did you feel so comfortable writing something as dehumanising as “sequester him in another room”? why is that the only solution for disability in people’s minds?
