Verity – The BRWC Review
Verity had all the ingredients for a nasty psychological thriller, but turns them into a dull, ridiculous soap opera where bad pacing and worse sex scenes kill every bit of suspense.
Olivia Dean Edition: Bits & Pieces
Olivia Dean is an English singer and songwriter. Her accolades include four Brit Awards and a Grammy Award. Dean signed with AMF Records and Virgin EMI Records in 2019 after her self-released song “Reason to Stay” went viral.
6 Movies With Unreliable Narrators
When watching a movie, the viewer sees events unfold through the eyes of a primary narrator. But sometimes, the one closest to the story might be the worst candidate to put our trust in. The unreliable narrator comes in a variety of forms. In some cases, they might have a distorted perception of reality, therefore
10 Dance Films That Showcase The Power Of Movement On Screen
There has never been a better time to celebrate the art of dance on film. Fresh from an acclaimed premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where it earned a four-star review from The Guardian and secured a place in Peter Bradshaw’s festival top 10, the film joins a rich cinematic tradition of stories told through movement, performance and physical expression.
Demon Dancer: Sua/Nara – Review
While not every element lands perfectly, Demon Dancer: Sua/Nara remains a striking independent genre effort. Its blend of stylish action, ambitious world-building and committed performances results in an entertaining and memorable experience that showcases a filmmaker unafraid to think big.
I Hate Myself And Want To Die: Review
I Hate Myself and Want to Die might’ve benefited from embracing that kind of absurdity. As the final movie gets stuck somewhere in the middle. Neither with the surrealistic quality of an After Hours or the Buñuel movies, nor the laugh out loud moments like one crazy night movies like Dazed and Confused or Superbad. It comes across as a sweet, innocuous movie that you wish pushed the crazy a little further.
Digger – The BRWC Review
If a discussion in which everyone screams at the top of their lungs and the loudest person simply drowns everyone else out can be called democratic, then Digger can be called a good film.
The Nomophobe: Review
In its final form, The Nomophobe paints a stark picture of the reality and mental impact of phone addiction.
Trailer Talk: September 2026
The first film trailer to stomp up was Godzilla Minus Zero, which continues on a few years after the events of ‘Minus One’ and sees the King of Monsters reawaken once more, and face off against it’s biggest rival. ‘Minus One’ quickly became one of my favourite Godzilla films as well as a lower-budget success story at the Oscars, so this one was already going to be a must watch.
Heart Of The Beast – The BRWC Review
Heart of the Beast may not tell a new story, but it doesn’t need to. Its simple story about survival, loyalty, and the bond between a man and his dog works because it genuinely has a heart.
The Quiet Work Behind Getting A Creative Project Noticed
None of this replaces the creative work. A thoughtful campaign cannot make a weak story compelling, and a strong film will not automatically find its audience. But clear communication gives people a path into the work. It connects the maker’s intentions with the questions and interests of viewers, one useful conversation at a time. For independent creators, that steady, human effort is often more valuable than chasing a brief burst of attention.
Sense and Sensibility: Review
Georgia Oakley’s well made period flick is an easygoing throwback but struggles to offer much of a twist on the tale. In a world of endless reboots, reimaginings and remakes, a groan of trepidation would not be out of place for a remake of Jane Austin’s classic novel Sense and Sensibility. With Ang Lee already
Iridescence: Short Film Review
Despite its brief runtime, Iridescence creates a fully realised world with a strong visual identity and a clear thematic focus. Lhoste delivers an inventive piece of animation that combines imagination, environmental commentary and artistic ambition into a compact and engaging short film.
Liquor Bank: Review
Despite its brief runtime, Liquor Bank delivers a thoughtful portrait of recovery and friendship. It is a quietly powerful story about responsibility, compassion and the difficult work of finding a way forward after making a mistake.
Fantastic Fest 2026 Review – Kung Fu Deadly
Kung Fu Deadly stars social media sensation Steven He, and newcomer Michael Tient, as a pair of bumbling exterminators who must put down their poison spray to face an ancient evil bigger than any rat.
Little Death: Short Film Review
With a runtime of just over twelve minutes, A Little Death delivers a concise story that balances humour with sentiment. Its message is simple but sincere, presenting death not as an object of fear but as a lens through which to appreciate life.
Spades: Review
At its core, Spades is more than an action film. Beneath the violence and suspense lies a story about family, trauma and the lengths people will go to protect those they love.
Intimité – The BRWC Review
A short film is the art of fitting entire worlds into a limited amount of time. Poppy Gordon’s INTIMITÉ does exactly that. With a fast-paced structure reminiscent of The Studio and Birdman, and an ability to show multiple things within even a single second, it manages to create the feeling that you have watched an entire musical in a very short amount of time.
