Boxing Day (2021) Review
1.5/5 Aml Ameen’s debut directorial effort sees him star alongside Aja Naomi King and Leigh-Anne Pinnock in a Christmassy romantic comedy that doesn’t always get it right.

The cinematography is stunning from Erik Messerschmidt and the production and set designers Donald Graham Burt (Gone Girl, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Jan Pascale (Argo, Sicario). The film jumps out of the screen and makes…

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey Review
Jingle Jangle is a perfect choice for Christmas, the music is joyful and the cast is delightful. It is like a Christmassy version of The Greatest Showman (2017). One of the most impressive things about Jingle Jangle is the set design, which feels very warm and rich. The main stand out for me is the…
