2019 Movie Report Card

I’m afraid, for now at least, I do not have the time to pen my usual reviews for 2019’s film releases - odds are, my Oscar coverage this year will also prove a tad sparse.

I shall, however, keep this list of the year’s pictures I’ve seen updated with simple grades - and, no doubt, you’ll hear me raving and/or bitching about some of them on Twitter.

Happy moviegoing! :)
