Destroyer (2018)

In the midst of Oscar season, it is easy to forget that there are more films to catch than just the ten or so big hitters that are deemed ‘unmissable’ by the Academy. Though I’ll obviously get through all of the nominees before the big night, it’s also nice to walk in to something that…

Vice (2018)

Looking back on it, it’s probably fair to say that my first memories of American politics in any real sense came during the years of the George W. Bush administration. Being born in 1989, Bill Clinton was pretty much a guy who was mentioned in the Animaniacs theme and a guy who did something naughty…

Mary Queen Of Scots (2018)

Something that any Oh! That Film Blog reader will know about me is that I am a bastard for a musical, but another fact you might not be so familiar with is that I also happen to a bastard for a Tudor! From the first Henry to the final Liz, the Tudor period is one…

Beautiful Boy (2018)

Welcome to part two of the ‘Steve Carell is a serious actor’ double header in 2019.

Colette (2018)

When it comes to perfect timing, there is no doubting that the cold months of January and February and period biopics are a match made in cinematic heaven. Although Keira Knightley’s latest release doesn’t appear to have sparked the interest of any major governing bodies this year, there is something comfortable and correct feeling about…

Welcome To Marwen (2018)

The beginning of 2019 looks set to be a busy period for one Steve Carell. Continuing his journey to break out of the comedy genre for which he is best known, Carell has two interesting projects coming out in short succession in the UK. We have to wait a couple weeks more for the hotly…

The Favourite (2018)

Happy New Year everybody! Christmas may have disappeared over the horizon, but for me personally, right now is the most wonderful time of the year. January ticks over and we enter full blown awards season! There are more films I’m excited to see in the next eight weeks than in the whole of the summer,…
