Heads up that I have now migrated to BlueSky. If you wanna keep in touch, follow me there. Alternatively, my instagram is calbody. Will lurk here for news purposes until Bluesky catches up on that front but only intermittently so might miss a DM on occasion

*loved* the opening 20 minutes of #Bugonia before the metaphorical brakes squeal to a halt for a wheel-spinning second act. Then the whole thing erupts into typical madcap Lanthimos chaos. Plemons as incel conspiracy nut is superb; a demented whirlwind of anger!Good!#Venezia82

Loved chatting DEAD LOVER with Grace Glowicki and Ben Petrie for their @edfilmfest UK Premiere

"#TheNakedGun is by no means the saviour of theatrical comedy. Still, with many films of its ilk relegated to streaming services, Akiva Schaffer’s legacy sequel is an unexpectedly welcome theatrical experience." - @calbody reviews: https://t.co/RMkdWOuNAu

Potentially hitting Venice Film Festival from Aug27 to Sep1 - do any of my fellow critics/attendees have space for me? All I really need is a couch and a shower!

Got a small budget to play around with so happy to discuss cost✌️

FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is marvel going back to Phase One basics. A self contained flick that has character first, spectacle second. I dug a lot of it! CGI baby, less so

[Connor Lightbody @Calbody]

Weighing in on why the Rotten Tomatoes score for James Gunn’s #Superman is as high as it is and that’s because, ultimately, when give a choice, film critics prefer positivity about a medium they love

[Connor Lightbody @Calbody]

Greatly appreciated what ON FALLING was aiming for, and feel like it got very nearly there!!

Not in the review but worth a mention: Wispa is the best chocolate bar, fight me

I ask because of “Mumsnetter”

[Connor Lightbody @Calbody]

Did any of my critic colleagues get access to Adolescence before it dropped on Netflix?

[Loud and Clear Reviews @LoudAndClearRvs]

Paul Walter Hauser uncannily captures Michael Larson in Samir Olivero’s game show dramedy THE LUCKIEST MAN IN AMERICA! 😍

“You can't be a gentle soul in this sport". Former F1 champion Damon Hill and Simon Lazenby on Sky Original documentary 'Hill'

[Connor Lightbody @Calbody]

Still utterly reeling from this opportunity

I had the chance to speak to Damon Hill and Simon Lazenby the other day at @glasgowfilmfest, where the @F1 documentary HILL just had its world premiere!!
