The Echo Chamber
Perhaps the most ridiculous film I’ve seen all year, The Echo Chamber’s only saving grace is the interior design inspiration it provided. The beautiful colour palette of deep reds and warm browns inside our protagonist Leo’s (Luca Marinelli) luxurious apartment is genuinely the best part of this
It Gets Worse
It Gets Worse was one of the funniest and most refreshing things I watched at this year’s London Film Festival. The new sitcom, starring comedian Leo Reich, manages to do something that most television supposedly written for Gen Z fails at: actually be relatable to young people. I loved
BEHEMOTH!
Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth! (stylized in all caps) gripped me from start to finish. A drama through and through, the film stars Pedro Pascal as renowned cellist and impish womaniser Alex Serian. As a fan of Gilroy’s work on the superb Star Wars spinoff Andor, I knew he would
The Idiot(s)
The Idiot(s) is a wonderfully bizarre and visually stunning portrayal of the relationship between Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky and his wife Anna. Directed by Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert, it follows the couple during their self-imposed exile in Germany as Fyodor struggles with gambling, alcoholism, and a debilitating
Musk
In Musk, the documentary branded a “hit piece” by “free-speech absolutist” Elon Musk himself, director and journalist Alex Gibney spends four hours giving viewers an unvarnished look at the tech billionaire’s career. Exposing him as a fraud and an idea-thief multiple times in the first half, Gibney
BFI LFF 2026 Part 2: Introduction
With the 70th BFI London Film Festival having drawn to a close, the crowds have dispersed, and London’s Southbank has returned to something resembling normality. After twelve days of premieres, screenings and cinematic celebration, this year’s festival has left audiences with plenty to reflect on, and a long

The Math department has postponed its move to introduce hot desking in Huxley offices, which was due 26 October, after student feedback. Hot desking (unassigned desks organised in an ad hoc, reservation basis) has been a topic of discussion for the Maths PhD students for the past academic year, an

At Night
Beatrice Gibson’s At Night is an interestingly constructed movie that falls short in many aspects. Following six women over the course of a single Parisian night, the film is a collection of vignettes and moments of the women crossing paths only to part ways soon after. Out of all

The Calf Doll
The Calf Doll is the docufiction debut of Indian director Ankur Hooda. Set in a smog-choked village in Haryana, a retired professor (Mst. Satbir Singh Hooda) turns to an age-old calf-doll ritual after his only cow delivers a stillborn calf and falls ill, as rapid industrialisation and
