The March Sisters’ Saga Marches On | Adaptation in Gerwig’s Little Women

Sarah Cullen Jan 28, 2020 0
Louisa May Alcott’s two-part novel from 1868 and 69 is a curious beast indeed. What, in this critic’s opinion, makes it such a fascinating read is Alcott’s own ambivalence towards the whole endeavour. The same year that the first volume of…

“You betcha, Iris.” | Drop Dead Gorgeous at 20

Sarah Cullen Jul 17, 2019 0
My first encounter with Michael Patrick Jann's Drop Dead Gorgeous was probably a couple of years after its release, on one of its televised broadcasts. I inadvertently came across the film at the very moment Tammy Curry (Brooke Elise…

The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down | Speed at 25

Sarah Cullen Jun 10, 2019 0
How times have changed. Nowadays, when we think of the stars of Jan de Bont's Speed we think about how Sandra Bullock hangs out in space and Keanu Reeves has murdered everyone. But, once upon a time, back in the long-forgotten year of 1994,…

Film Review | Bird Box – The Happening But Good

Sarah Cullen Dec 29, 2018 0
Due to the premise of Susanne Bier’s post-apocalyptic drama Bird Box, a film in which everyone must remain blindfolded or risk insta-suicide, there is a nagging feeling that something is missing. After all, this is a film that is very much…
