Shannon the Movie Moxie's Film Reviews

I endeavour to write reviews that don't give away too much of the film, I am more interested in the experience of the film, what I got out of it, how others would enjoy it and the film going experience in general. You will never hear me say "I can't believe he died!" or "What a twist ending!", but I will provide context and refer to elements of the plot and theme.

You can also browse reviews by Year, Country or Genre.
