#LFF - THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE

“Original” doesn’t even begin to cover this highly unconventional musical about the 18th century Shaker movement, with the creative team of The Brutalist and a great lead turn by Amanda Seyfried pumping plenty of energy into an oddly unique film.

#LFF - NO OTHER CHOICE

Park Chan-Wook’s dark satire of our fundamentally flawed capitalist society is a fiercely entertaining ride, at once a madcap caper with style to spare, but also a grim commentary on the desperation of those who just want to earn a decent living.

#LFF - IS THIS THING ON?

Bradley Cooper’s third directorial outing, wherein Will Arnett gives stand-up comedy a go, isn’t just his funniest but also his most surprising, as the director also works in a naturalistic rom-com that is as crowd-pleasing as it is genuinely sweet.

#LFF - FRANKENSTEIN

Guillermo del Toro was born to adapt Mary Shelley’s classic into a faithful yet fresh interpretation with stunningly Gothic production values and a tender turn by Jacob Elordi. An unnecessary framing device weighs it down, but this is otherwise wonderful.

"A strong psychodrama that is occasionally undone by its conventional nature and emotional coldness but still manages to deliver one hell of a payoff."

#LFF - IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU

Rose Byrne is stellar in this extremely stressful drama about motherhood and all the baggage that comes with it. Some interesting camerawork and occasional steps into surreal territory make it a bit hard to digest, but it worked well enough.

Unsurprisingly, putting Jared Leto in a Tron movie wasn't the smartest move.

#LFF - HAMNET

If it’s a good cry you’re after, you’ll get that and a whole lot more in Chloe Zhao’s devastating Shakespeare drama. Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal are phenomenal in a story of love, family, loss and the healing power of the arts. Bring all the Kleenex you can get.

#LFF - BUGONIA

Utterly bonkers, though what else did you expect from Yorgos Lanthimos? His most accessible film to date is also a very entertaining one, poking fun at nutty conspiracy theorists and their insane beliefs, while earning points for having the year’s gutsiest ending.

#LFF - IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT

It’s certainly no accident that this won the Palme D’Or. Jafar Panahi’s revenge thriller is endlessly gripping, exposing the roots of evil in an oppressive regime that corrupts the best of people. Ends on a killer final shot that leaves chills.
