#Invincible finally adapted one of the best and most devastating stories from the comics, and it did it all in just one episode. But if you thought The Invincible War was over too fast, you’re missing the point entirely. My latest at GamesRadar www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

I loved #Daredevil and I was super open to a new spin on the show, but the first 2 episodes are so disappointing. The supporting characters are dull, the pacing is deranged, and even the fights are lacklustre. Returning actors like Cox and D’Onofrio are great and deserve better.

I had a long travel day on Sunday and ended up watching the entire series of #TraumaCodeHeroesOnCall all at once, 8 hours straight. It’s a sometimes silly, but ridiculously entertaining Korean medical drama on Netflix starring Ju Ji-hoon, Choo Young-woo, Ha Young. Queue. It. Up!

Poured out my feelings in this tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg, a singular talent who made my favourite show even better (and the lives of everyone who watched as a result) @yahooentsuk.bsky.social uk.news.yahoo.com/michelle-tra...

People asking Sarah Michelle Gellar to comment and make a post about Michelle Trachtenberg are disgusting and make a strong case for the end of the internet, honestly. Bring on the apocalypse at this point!

I love that different tributes to Michelle Trachtenberg hone in on different roles she played. Whether you fell in love with her because of Buffy, Harriet the Spy, Ice Princess, Gossip Girl, Mysterious Skin or something else entirely, that’s the mark of someone truly gifted 💔

#RunningPoint is easily the worst thing I’ve seen so far this year. I love a frothy, easygoing comedy as much as the next gay, but I couldn’t make it past the first episode. Kate Hudson deserves so much better, I’m sorry mother. So cringe.

#ToxicTown is a pretty decent 3 star look at one of the biggest environmental scandals in history. With just 4 episodes, the show never outstays its welcome. Jodie Whittaker is phenomenal, reminding us just how talented she is and Aimee Lou Wood is reliably great too. Worth seeing!

I never thought we’d lose anyone from the cast for a very, very long time, let alone the youngest member. I can’t get over it

Michelle Trachtenberg didn’t just star in my favourite show of all time. She also did her very best work in Mysterious Skin, a film that changed my life and changed how I looked at cinema growing up. I’m so shocked and devastated. Fuck this year already

What is #NeZha2 and who is the cheeky demonic kid at the centre of it? How did this Chinese sequel become the biggest animated film of all time? And what does its unprecedented success mean for the global industry moving forward? My latest at IndieWire www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Love seeing excerpts from my reviews make it into PR emails, especially for films as daring and provocative as Bruce LaBruce’s The Visitor 💦🙊

So happy to be covering #BFIFlare this year. Easily one of my favourite festivals. They champion incredible LGBTQ+ cinema including films that can sometimes be really hard to see elsewhere. I can’t recommend it enough so buy tickets! And if you’re an editor, commission me please!

Seeing #IfIHadLegsIdKickYou for the first time reminded me how I felt watching The Substance - an absolute queen giving the ferocious performance of a lifetime in a horrifying yet hilarious downward spiral that you feel viscerally in your gut. The Oscar is Rose Byrne’s next year.

Deceptively simple yet infinitely complex, Fernanda Torres gives a masterclass in the moving power of subtlety here. The kind of acting that deserves an abundance of awards yet is all too often overlooked 👏🏻 #ImStillHere

#TheUglyStepsister rips the horror out of Cinderella’s original story, kicking and screaming, with a daring, truly disgusting spin on the classic fairy tale. Can’t believe this is a debut feature. I laughed, I grimaced, and I watched through my fingers. On Shudder later this year

Lesbian Space Princess is the queer animated scifi musical comedy you didn’t know you needed. It doesn’t quite live up to that awesome title, but it is proudly queer and very ambitious. My review for IndieWire www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

4 episodes in, #WinOrLose isn’t quite a triumphant success for Pixar, but it’s not a complete disaster either. I gave the show 3 stars here for Empire, but there’s every chance it could get even better as the puzzle pieces come together at the end www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/w...

Holy shit #FriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is one of the best Spidey adaptations ever and today’s final two episodes really cemented that. This show captures the essence of Peter Parker so perfectly. Wish people were talking about it as much as we did the first season of X-Men 97.

Felt really special to review #BlueMoon, the new Richard Linklater movie starring Ethan Hawke, for IndieWire. It’s one of the biggest titles competing at the #Berlinale this year, so I hope I did this wonderful movie justice in the short time I had www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

#Mickey17 includes Robert Pattinson’s best role(s) to date and further cements Bong Joon-ho as the strongest, most consistent filmmaker of the 21st century. My five star review for GamesRadar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...
