Here’s what I had to say:

“It’s this expository side of Bruno that marginally elevates it above other recent comedy gems such as The Hangover. Where the latter film only ever asks the audience to laugh and nothing more, Bruno challenges preconceived stereotypes and expose alarming truths about the current state of society.  There is a greater reliance on shock humour and a more noticeable presence of a script than there was with Borat, but it’s hard not to love the audacity of  Bruno; a film certain to give the box office a real anusstampfen.”

Review: ★★★

Here’s what I had to say:

“Whilst heart-warming at times, The Fox and the Child is essentially an art house film aimed at kids who would much rather be watching a more adventurous and exciting animation at their local multiplex. Even for adults, the stunning cinematography can only mask the story’s monotony for so long. “
