Film of the Week

'It’s a debut that reveals confidence in casualness, trusting us to intuit deeper wounds and wants in its portraiture.' More beautiful writing on WAR PONY from @GuyLodge and @filmoftheweek_ filmoftheweek.co.uk/reviews/war-po…

"Who would do such a thing, we think, and why? And yet, via Breillat’s muted yet sensually heightened direction, we buy it." @GuyLodge tackles Last Summer, Catherine Breillat's story of stepmom-stepson attraction: filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/la…

A lil bit by me on one of Cannes' best so far — and a reminder that, in addition to what's already up at @filmoftheweek_, @catherinebray and I will be doing a few more mini-reviews of what we've enjoyed at the fest this year. Keep reading!

@wordycreep @GuyLodge @catherinebray It really is!

Todd Haynes returns to his signature genre, in Competition at @Festival_Cannes, with the tense, teasing and very funny melodrama May December. Reviewed here by @guylodge: filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/ma…

A juicy slice of Belgian dark comedy premiered in @semainecannes last week, and @catherinebray fell head over heels for its suspenseful charm - here's our review of Vincent Must Die: filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/vi…

"This latest addition to the monstrous feminine canon is a supple and engaging film that claws at your heart." Tiger Stripes, in @semainecannes, is an engaging drama about female adolescence. Review here from @catherinebray: filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/ti…

"Brilliantly thorny and elusive [...] less concerned with cold facts than with multiple parties’ fluid, permeable ideas of the truth." We loved Anatomy of a Fall, Justine Triet's Competition entry at @Festival_Cannes, reviewed here by @GuyLodge: filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/an…

Wrote a lil bit about Todd Haynes’ teasing, trashy-refined, supremely actressy hall of mirrors MAY DECEMBER at my own site @filmoftheweek_ — also keep checking in there for more Cannes minis by me and the fab @catherinebray. filmoftheweek.co.uk/cannes-2023/ma…

'Builds to a devastating torrent of feeling' Typically astute write-up for THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS, this week's @filmoftheweek_ Now in UK/Irish cinemas via. @PicturehouseEnt filmoftheweek.co.uk/reviews/the-ei…

"This combined restraint builds to a devastating torrent of feeling...an ode to loves taken for granted in life, it makes a case for renewing and reviving our oldest alliances." --@GuyLodge, @filmoftheweek_ THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS screening daily: bit.ly/3HVrEtG

For our @filmoftheweek_ pick this week, @catherinebray rightly sings the praises of a rare welcome sequel: the excellent, absolutely revolting EVIL DEAD RISE. filmoftheweek.co.uk/reviews/evil-d…
