Alexandra James writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Alexandra James My passion for film began at an early age, it was my dad who opened my eyes to the wonderful world of cinema. I was shown many classics from his youth which allowed me to immerse myself in Hollywood and British stars such as Peter Sellers, James Stewart, Alfred Hitchcock, Terry Thomas and many more. From then on, my interest in film began to grow and I chose to study English Literature and Film, Television and Radio Studies at University level. I became fascinated by the history and complex intricacies that surround the silver screen. It became apparent that my favourite genres were Horrors and Thrillers, the excitement and nail-biting sensation makes for a completely mesmeric experience and always has me at the edge of my seat. Writing allows me to express myself and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share my thoughts and views on UK Film Review, especially on a subject that captivates me and that I have complete adoration for.

Will Girling writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Will Girling A European Literature graduate dedicated to grappling with the written word and exploring the latest trends in contemporary cinema. After a stint working for a business magazine gave me my first taste of publishing my words, I’m grateful to UK Film Review for giving me the chance to write about something I’m really passionate about: film. With an eye and an ear for the unusual, I enjoy movies that go beyond plot or characterization and instead defy genre constraints by exploiting that sweet combination of images and sound that only cinema can achieve. From Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England (2013) to Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void (2009), Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain (1973), or Luis Buñuel’s Un Chien Andalou, I’m always excited by eccentric movies that provoke thought or provide an experience unlike any other. My favourite films of all time include: Easy Rider (1968), The Wicker Man (1973), and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Read Latest Film Reviews

Hannah Sayer writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Hannah Sayer I am in my second year of studying English Literature at Royal Holloway University of London and I’m passionate about all aspects of film, television, theatre and art. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I graduate, but writing for UK Film Review has been great for improving my writing style and I’ve been able to see some really good and interesting independent films I otherwise wouldn’t have got the chance to see. I’ve always been interested in all different genres of film and how they are made, so being a film reviewer has been perfect in getting some of my own knowledge out there from reading countless editions of Empire and Little White Lies. Some of my favourite films are Blue Valentine (2010), Rebecca (1940), American Beauty (1999), The Piano (1993) and anything directed by Christopher Nolan, David Fincher and Nicolas Winding Refn.

Bruna Foletto Lucas writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Bruna Foletto Lucas Back in Brazil my undergrad was in Filmmaking. Upon graduating, I worked on short films and feature films, some of them went on to win awards in international and national festivals, which of course meant I became a celebrity. No, it meant that the films I’d worked on had some notoriety in niche communities. But it was enough to make a living. I’d been working at a film production company for a year when I decided I needed to make a choice – either further specialise myself in either production or in direction, or change completely. I decided on the latter. And, as much as I loved working with cinema, I didn’t want to be behind the cameras anymore, I wanted to be in front of the screen. I moved to London in 2016, completed a Master’s in Film Studies (Kingston University of London) and started volunteering everywhere I could (Film London, British Independent Film Awards). Since my passion is horror films, anything horror related I was there (London Horror Festival, London Horror Society). And through those experiences and my MA, I started writing and slowly started creating a network. My style of writing tends to be positive. Having worked on indie films I know the struggle filmmakers face, so I am not the first one to pick up on their flaws. But moreover, because I have an academic background and intend on starting a PhD in Film soon, I write academic articles, as well.

Connor Slatkoff Sharpe writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Connor Slatkoff Sharpe Originally from the West Coast of Canada, I have recently moved to Edinburgh in the last year. I'm 23 years old, and have a background mainly in film and theatre acting (four years of conservatory theatre training in University to make myself thoroughly unemployable). I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of a wide variety of projects as a stage and screen actor, from work with Disney to performing Shakespeare in the park in cities across Canada. I've always had a passion for writing, and as someone who is a fanatic film and TV lover, those subjects are almost always what I find myself discussing. My favourite film is without a doubt The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, closely followed by the other two films in the trilogy. Other favourites of mine include Children of Men, Se7en, Snatch, Aliens, Terminator 2 Judgment Day, Gladiator, Return of the Jedi & The Dark Knight.
