Favourite films of 2024...
Civil War
Is this what you want America? 'Cause this is what you're going to get. Except it won't be this well directed.
All of Us Strangers
The heartbreaking romantic queer ghost/love story. (He didn't really die if you ask me).
Love lies Bleeding
A stylish, sexy, working-class crime thriller dreamscape.
Housekeeping for Beginners
Macedonian realist queer melodrama brilliance from our own Goran Stolevski.
Challengers
Stylish sweaty sexy tennis three way with a refreshingly queer gaze.
Anora
A trashy exploitation film directed with amazing verve, honesty and heart. And of course it's really about capitalism.
Dune 2
The greatest epic sci-fi film.
Kneecap
Like an Irish Trainspotting with surprising depth.
The Substance
A sledgehammer of audacious style, an important point of view and a perfect ending.
Audrey
Mum's are not allowed to be selfish, conniving and terrible... because it's too funny. From our very own Lou Sanz and Natalie Bailey.
