I, Daniel Blake (2016) – Ace Mini-Review

A simple and moving film about the frustration and indignity of life on social assistance.

Finding Neverland (2004) – Ace Long Review

It may not have an explicitly asexual protagonist, but it comes closer than any other movie I've seen.

As nutritious as a bowl of Skittles – and every bit as tasty!

A feel-good, family-friendly movie about female empowerment – and black female empowerment in particular.

A dark, but not entirely hopeless, lamentation of the commodification of human relationships.

This science fiction story may not have a lot of hard science, but it does feature some hard linguistics – something I wish we saw more often.

It’s a nice change to see a film that can be shamelessly sentimental about friendship, family, political idealism – anything except sex.

Not a great adaptation of not a great Shakespeare play.

There’s no story to it beyond the negotiation of a relationship, and the result is pretty boring.

A good, old-fashioned heroic tale, with brave warriors, noble princesses, and honourable commanders.
