Review: Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow 2017

It never ceases to amaze us how time and time again, Australia is able to produce a seemingly endless supply of good comedians each year when the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) Roadshow rolls around.

That spirit, accompanied by a general … Continue reading Review: Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow 2017

Review: Scribe dir. Thomas Kruithof

There’s always a place in cinema for a spy thriller. But French director Thomas Kruithof’s debut feature is no Jason Bourne film. At its forefront is the middle aged Duval (Francois Cluzet), a mousy ex-office worker on a downward spiral, unemployed and alcoholic. Things seem to take a turn for the better when he’s referred to the shady Clement (Denis Podalydes), and tasked to transcribe … Continue reading Review: Scribe dir. Thomas Kruithof
