Review of Suspiria (2018)

By Elena Lazic (92) for SciFiNow (378) on 14 Nov 2018

Billingham's compositions are gorgeous -- some of them are close recreations of his published photographs…

Review of The Duke of Burgundy (2014)

By Elena Lazic (92) for SciFiNow (378) on 17 Sep 2018

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Elena Lazic (92) for SciFiNow (378) on 09 Sep 2018

Review of Skate Kitchen (2018)

By Elena Lazic (92) for Seventh Row (175) on 19 Jul 2018

As the film fully aligns with Camille and respects her emotions, her teenage problems feel like much more than superficial drama…

Review of The First Purge (2018)
