The Sardonic Romantic

Learning from Kodachrome thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2021/07/31/lea…

Subject, a discussion of the power of documentary is over worked and underdeveloped but there is a value to what pushed it to being made even if the end result is disappointing thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/03/06/rev…

The final film of the Broadway in Nottingham's Lay of the Land series, this Vampire film is not what you expect. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/02/03/a-g…

A family in crisis finally reconnects after 8 years and the results are interesting at the least. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/16/rev…

A family of peach farmers face losing their livelihood in this visually stunning film. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/15/rev…

Here it is, the best films of 2022. Numbers 10-1. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/04/end…

Part 3 of my end of year review is numbers 20-11 of the best films of the year. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/03/end…

It's been a while since I was able to write about 25 films I liked in a whole year but here is the first of three parts devoted to the best films of 2022 thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/02/end…

2022 is over and it was a return to form in terms of overall quality but firstly, a few that bucked the trend and disappointed. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2023/01/01/end…

Ultra low budget but quietly entertaining even if it steals its entire plot. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/12/rev…

Timely but far from impressive. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/09/rev…

Funny as ever, McDonagh's latest is thematically weak. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/08/rev…

There is a cheapness to this Czech film that is hard to ignore outside of the well concieved action. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/07/rev…

Finally released in the UK, Barbarian is pretty close to perfect, for its first 40 minutes at least. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/06/rev…

Bros is a film trying to hard to impress, never settling in its overly long skin. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/11/01/rev…

Not terrific but a showcase for the talents of Corrin and Dawson. Styles doesn't let down but fails to impress. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/10/29/rev…

Review-Lite: Mr Harrigan’s Phone (2022) thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/10/24/rev…

No matter how hard I tried, it's impossible not to think Black Adam's suit looks like pyjamas. Anyway, here's a review of Black Adam thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/10/24/rev…

Since Black Adam came out this weekend, here is my review of a Finnish coming of age story. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/10/22/rev…

So I wrote something for the first time in a while. Don't get used to it. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/10/20/lff…

I finally got around to writing something since I started my new job. Hopefully the start of more to come. thesardonicromantic.wordpress.com/2022/01/11/end…
