The Fifth Estate (2013) - Rated 19 Oct 2013
"This docudrama, like All The President's Men, assumes all the viewers are familiar with every detail of the scandals that Julian Assange and his Wikileaks disclosed. So it flicks quickly over the headlines barely giving you time to read anything. I get it, Mr Director: we're not supposed to care about the facts. We're only supposed to care about the grey morality of revealing the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth and naming names. But dammit I'm interested in the facts too."

Lady Macbeth (2017) - Rated 13 Jul 2017
"Hypothetical question: If the only life you can see before you is a joyless life of unending degradation, what would you do? Would you accept it as God's will and pray for things to get better, or would you fight back against your fate? Me, I would fight back. I am not the meek, to wait to inherit the earth. I am a fighter. In the context of the film, that would make me an evil bitch, a Lady MacBeth. So be it. Yep, this is a dark morose film, betraying its origins as a Russian novel!"
