4/5

The Neon Demon (2016)

Gimme Danger (2016)
95%
“Witty, loving and fuelled by some of the finest rock n' roll music, Gimme Danger is unashamedly nostalgic, yet it also makes you leave the cinema with a lump in your throat that there's just no one quite like the young Iggy in music anymore.” –

The Wailing (2016)
99%
“... although overlong and not without flaws, there is enough in The Wailing to warrant a viewing, and the subtle force of the film confirms Na Hong-jin's reputation as a director to be reckoned with.” –

Personal Shopper (2016)

In the Basement (2014)

“To some extent, In the Basement is crafted in the same way that John Waters created Shock Value, an often fascinating, frequently creepy, unashamedly funny compilation of oddities and curiosities that are occasionally hard to digest.” –

Go, Go Second Time Virgin (1969)
