Most of this film takes place at 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, London, where Sigmund Freud and his daughter Anna took residence in June 1938 after escaping from Nazi-occupied Vienna.

Film Review: Poor Things – “Stone’s performance is rightly worthy of an Oscar nomination”
Wednesday 31st January 2024

The story is mired in Gothic horror. A young Victorian woman – wealthy, well-dressed – stands on a bridge, contemplating … Continue Reading
Film Review: The Holdovers – “a sense of warm familiarity”
Tuesday 23rd January 2024
Those fed up with the bleak midwinter will find more than a cup of Christmas cheer still left in The Holdovers, the latest from Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways, Nebraska). In fact the callback to yuletide a month after it’s finished seems more than a little apt for a film that itself … Continue Reading
