  • Eighth Grade

    (spoiler free) Not content with being a successful YouTuber, comedian & musician Bo Burnham is now trying his hand at writing & directing too. He’s the man behind new coming of age drama ‘Eighth Grade’ which has already attracted much critical acclaim and awards attention since its US release and run in the festival circuit.…

  • Sierra Burgess Is a Loser

    (spoiler free) Netflix is killing the game when it comes to rom-coms and after the success of ‘All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’ it’s no surprise they have another winner on their hands in the form of ‘Sierra Burgess Is a Loser’.
