Chris Rose writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Chris Rose I’m a graduate of the University of Birmingham with a degree in Politics, and helped to found the Mental Health and Wellbeing society whilst there. I’m now a Freelance Journalist, writing for a couple of publications and adding my voice to the many on your social media feed. But when I’m not writing about all things political, I’m writing, reviewing and generally loving cinema. You can’t really go wrong with cinema. There’s no other medium that can make you laugh and scare you senseless; make you cry or make you cheer; make you think or help you to stop thinking. No matter how hard sitcoms, YouTube stars or those annoying-little-5-minute-content-dumps try, cinema is the greatest medium of the modern era. My favourite films are, in no particular order: Isle of Dogs, Get Out, The Favourite, Fury, The Shawshank Redemption, 1917, No Country for Old Men, and all things Star Wars. Ok, perhaps not all things Star Wars. I may be in the small club that likes the Phantom Menace, but I’ sure we can agree that the Clone Wars is best left in the dark recesses of our memory. I’m also unhealthily into gaming, kidding myself that I was going to start exercising after University, and have been a drummer since I was a kid. You can find all my reviews by clicking here.

Ieuan Walker writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Ieuan Walker As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a film critic (Queue Tony Bennett). Since my first viewing of Midnight Cowboy when I stole it from my parents’ DVD cabinet when I was twelve, I have yet to shut up about film. As I thought I knew all there was to know about films, I opted for a course in Film Studies in King’s College London. However, it slowly dawned that I had barely touched the atmospheric layer that surrounds the surface of great cinema. Ever since, I have constantly strived to open my mind to all manners of film irrespective of geographical boundaries to their exhibition platforms. During these studies, I also heard an interesting comparison with film criticism with sports commentary: Understanding and discussing the plays, for better for worse, can enhance as well as unlock appreciation for its athletes. It has since been my aim to wherever possible open the possibilities of a critical dialogue with my fellow moviegoers. My postgraduate studies at the University of Cambridge further matured my appreciation for film that has helped me to realise the artistic endeavour within each work. Consequently, my criticism is less to slander a film to make for an entertaining read, but to help develop the skills of their respective casts and crew (whilst hopefully making for an entertaining read). This philosophy is integral to UK Film Review which seeks to irrespectively expose and enhance cinematic talents from all corners of the globe. From the very top of my head, my favourite films range from dark comedies such as In Bruges (2008) to the Italian Neorealists, as well as almost any stop motion animated film (Be sure to check out 2009’s Panique Au Village!).

Albert Sowerby-Davies writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Albert Sowerby-Davies I am a third-year student of History and French at the University of Oxford, currently living and working abroad in France. At university I spend most of my time reading, discussing and writing about French literature, particularly my favourite authors: Montaigne, Diderot and Flaubert. Beside my academic interests, I love to create stories, plays and short films (the latter mostly with a collage/pop-art feel to them). I enjoy drawing upon the techniques used by some of my favourite film directors such as Jean-Luc Godard, Wes Anderson and Takeshi Kitano. When it comes to cinema, I like films of all genres. I’ve always loved discussing movies, and – thanks to UK Film Review – I have now been handed the golden opportunity to put my opinions into words. Although my list is always changing, my five favourite films at the moment are Before Sunrise (1995), Rashomon (1950), Somersault (2004), Kikujiro (1999) and Beau Travail (1999).

Darren Tilby writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Darren Tilby My introduction to film came at an early age: hours spent watching classics like Wizard of Oz, Tom Thumb and Clash of the Titans at home with my mother undoubtedly left a lasting impression on me. But it wasn't until I discovered the horror genre, and the Universal Monster movies in particular, that I truly fell in love with film. Horror may have been my first love, but it certainly wasn't my last, and I enjoy films right across the board (although I'm a bit of a sucker for a good animated film). And while my love of film has never wavered the decision to start writing about it was a very recent one and wasn't something I had studied for. After years of suffering ill health I wanted to get back into doing something I was passionate about; pairing my love of cinema and my love of writing seemed like the obvious choice—and if nothing else it might be a way for me to articulate my thoughts on films and stop boring my girlfriend with my rambling movie-based chat. And whilst that hasn't happened, I have been incredibly fortunate to have been given the chance to write for UK Film Review; a position which has given me some amazing opportunities, allowed me to discover some fantastic indie films, and work on my writing technique in a more structured way. My favourite films, in no particular order, are Aliens, Frank, Carol, When Marnie Was There, the Universal Monster movies, and anything by Guillermo del Toro, Laika Studios and Cartoon Saloon.

Jasmine Holly Bullock writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Jasmine Holly Bullock Studying English Literature and Drama at Queen Mary University of London (2015-2018), and performing at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2017 and 2018 really helped me realise my dreams of becoming an actress. However, as I am not currently starring in any films at the moment, I shall instead satisfy myself by heavily criticising those who are. I love film and TV as much as I love sarcasm. I'd say my taste in film is very varied... Horror, rom-coms, biopics, thrillers, musicals etc. They're all great. I also have my own website where I review books, films and talk about other stuff! https://www.miniviews.co.uk/ But some of my favourite films are Green Book (2019) and The Lives of Others (2006) and anything ever created by Richard Curtis and/or Guillermo del Toro.

Jack Bottomley writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Jack Bottomley My interest in film started at an early age, though in fairness everybody at some point in life is interested in a medium- film, music, books, and radio. My interest in film began in youth being captivated by the films showing at my local cinema (Space Jam at one point!) and has grown progressively since then. Star Wars is undoubtedly my biggest love but I have developed a taste for many genres particularly Sci-Fi and Horror. Like many people in education, I was uncertain where I wanted to go and really found a firm direction in A-Level Media Studies. Since that point, my filmic interest has become central from graduating from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in 2012 to writing for all my various contacts and visiting some wonderful places on work experience.

Corey Bulloch writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Corey Bulloch With a lifelong passion for cinema and a degree in film production from the University for the Creative Arts, writing film reviews seemed inevitable. I have been writing reviews for my own website since April 2019 but am looking forward to expanding and learning at UK Film Review. My review style mostly examines how the technical aspects and narrative blend together to deliver the best cinematic experience but I always open-minded about how a film tries different ways to tell a story. My favourite film is The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) it was the film that started my obsession with movies and filmmaking, and while I have seen many other amazing films since then, Jack Skellington’s adventure has always had a special place in my heart. Glad to be part of the team and hope my reviews help you find your next favourite film.
