Review by Adam Barry-Murphy I was lucky enough to receive tickets from Dublin International Film Festival to their event screening of Chemi Bebia, or, My Grandmother, in Cork City. With a live musical accompaniment throughout from the exceptionally talented Meg Morley, this 1929 Soviet satire proved to be as relevant today as it surely was then. Directed by Kote Mikaberidze, the film is blisteringly inventive and made for fantastic viewing.

Review by Adam Barry-Murphy The newfound villain of awards season, Emilia Pérez, unsurprisingly, has more on offer than one would assume from the negative review-bombing it has received in the last few months on social media. Outside of the few decontextualized clips circulating across online platforms, there is much to chew on. Perhaps even too much - the film is bursting at its seams with ideas, to the point of being overstuffed. But do the big swings pay off? It’s a mixed bag for sure.
Review by Cian MartinEditor's Note: The following is a rather angry review. As cinephiles, those who love cinema; we must embrace that other most passionate emotion: hate. Thus, it should be noted that for those who do not appreciate such things, this review does contain some rather forceful language of the swearing kind - happy reading, Rebecca Jane Parke .  |
