Seeking Mavis Beacon - Film Review - Eye For Film

6 days ago | eyeforfilm.co.uk | Jennie Kermode

What did a computer user look like in the mid-1980s? The gaming revolution was in its early stages then; the idea that there might reasonably be a computer in every home was only just beginning to take off. Some people saw the beginnings of an industry in which great fortunes would be made; others saw the whole thing as nerdy and essentially pointless. Either way, it was associated with men – and, almost exclusively, with white men. Mavis Beacon changed all that.

Broke (2025) Movie Review from Eye for Film

1 week ago | eyeforfilm.co.uk | Jennie Kermode

What makes a Western? Is it the look, the location, the storyline? From the outset, Carlyle Eubank’s film very much has that atmosphere, though it takes no interest in revenge or moral reckoning, and it’s set in the present day.
