Lee Daniels directed two films before this one. His first was seen by practically nobody. It was called ShadowBoxer and starred Helen Mirren, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

It’s probably the most delicious film cinema will see this year. Directed by Park Can-wook, director of Oldboy, and scripted by (believe it or not) Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller, this is a […]

I didn’t get on with Malick’s previous film, The Tree of Life – a pretentious mixture of grass stroking and dinosaurs. To the Wonder, which marks a new age of prolific Malick ventures as opposed to his usual decade-long wait, is in my opinion the much better film. It’s testing, and those with low tolerance […]
