  • Offender

    “Bend over, open your arse cheeks, cough”. That is perhaps the longest bit of dialogue in Offender and the most well structured which is really saying something. What does the..


  • Undefeated

    “If you think football builds character, you’re dead wrong. Football reveals character”. This is just one of the absolutely pitch-perfect messages this Oscar-winning football documentary manages to hammer home.

The usual rookie errors are very much in evidence, but solid performances and a compelling aesthetic make Electrick Children well worth a watch.


  • Leave it on the Floor

    In 1990 filmmaker Jenny Livingston made Paris is Burning, the first documentary which provided an in-depth look into 80s Harlem ball culture. In 2011 director Sheldon Larry and Glenn Gaylord..


  • Dark Mirror

    There is an old, aboriginal belief (as we know well from Zoolander), that having your photograph taken actually steals a little bit of your soul each time. Watching Dark Mirror..
