MICF Review - Glittery Clittery
Glittery Clittery: A ConSENSUAL Party, presented by the Fringe Wives Club comedy group is exactly what it says on the label, and in the best way possible. Recipient of the 2017 Moosehead Award, the show is belly-laugh good from the moment the trio step into the audience, black velvet capes over sparkling costumes. These Fringe Wives – Tessa Waters, Rowena Hutson and Victoria Falconer-Pritchard – are all the proverbial Beyoncé. With unique and differing brands of humour, they deliver a high-energy, all-singing, all-dancing cabaret spectacular featuring glitter, sequins, feminism, sex and vaginas, or as the ladies call them, glitter holes.
Movie Review - Other People
On the surface, Other People might seem like a film aimed at winning awards – it follows a young gay man’s return home to his homophobic town and dying mother in order to help with her care. While Other People doesn’t entirely avoid the typical tropes of the cancer story or of the LBGT acceptance story, it plays with these motifs in a way that avoids over-sentimentality. Nor does it reach for any feelings that have not been wholly deserved.
Here’s a segment I field produced and edited for RMITV’s The Leak.
Movie Review - Love and Friendship
There is always familiarity with Jane Austen. Whether it be the novels, BBC mini-series, modernised movies, the various webseries adapatations, or even Pride and Prejudice and Zombies there are always common factors – relationships between women, early feminism, sweeping romances, and quite often Regency clothing. Love and Friendship, the film adaptation of Austen’s Lady Susan has all of this, and yet is still a fresh and unfamiliar take on what should be old hat.
Movie Review - Rams
Reposted from RMITV’s In Review
Rams follows two middle-aged Icelandic sheep herders, and while one would assume that the title refers to their flock, it instead refers to the two brothers butting heads that are the central characters of this film. Winner of Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes 2015, this beautifully shot film, written and directed by Grímur Hákonarson, tells the story of brothers Gummi and Kiddi finding companionship in isolation.
