All reviews →Singin' in the Rain
10/10 · 2026-09-17
Sample review · Singin’ in the Rain makes difficult things look conversational. The rhythm is in the dialogue and bodies, not just the songs. I love a musical that finds comedy inside the craft it is celebrating. A memorable setting can sell me on almost anything.

Sample review · Fury Road has the shape of a piece of music: recurring motifs, sudden changes of pace and a clear sense of build. The sound design keeps the machinery distinct. Best watched loud, with the neighbours considered. Always interested in how a story finds its ending.

Sample review · Blade Runner 2049 is a fascinating balance of huge sound and empty space. The interiors make people look small without making them irrelevant. Its images have stayed with me more clearly than most of the plot. The performances are what draw me back.
