Film, Televison & Theatre Critic
Our website The Twins Wardrobe was initially created to share outfits, but as the years went on and we achieved our degrees in Performing Arts we began sharing film, tv, theatre and book reviews.
Here are some spoiler-free extracts from some of our recent reviews:
Spider-Man : Homecoming (July 2019) :
Far From Home can be considered both as an epilogue to the Infinity Saga and a new chapter of the MCU: it briefly showcases the repercussions of ‘The Blip’ (half the population resurrected 5 years after the events of Infinity War) in a comedic and lighthearted way, and acts as a sort of palate-cleanser following the weighty events of Endgame.
Booksmart (May 2019) :
Olivia Wilde’s R-rated directional debut Booksmart refreshes the traditional coming-of-age formula in a fast-paced, inclusive and sensitive way. With an all-female writing team, the witty and strong script is endearing and impossible not to enjoy, brought to life effortlessly by a cast of new, fresh-faced talents.
Stranger Things (July 2019) :
Once again, Stranger Things succeeds in expanding its mythology whilst tying up a few loose ends from the previous season: instead of introducing solely new narrative elements, it allows pre-existing ones to evolve, granting the creators of the show a chance to further develop their past creations [...] Season 3 shows the audience that although it continues to embrace the narrative structure first introduced in season one (and rightfully so), the show, much like its characters, is evolving.
Jessica Jones (June 2019):
It’s a story which further delves into the complexities and politics of superheroism and vigilantism, exploring the psychological repercussions and morals of the characters involved. Where season 2 laid the groundwork for these elements, season 3 gave it space to grow and flourish before satisfyingly rounding up all of the characters arcs at the end. Even the journeys of secondary characters are thoughtfully concluded: JJ has never shied away from the characters’ flaws, un-apologetically embracing their crooked ambitions and askew moral compasses as fundamental narrative components.
Unicorn Store (April 2019):
Dedicated to dreamers and young adults who are dealing with the first trials of adulthood, to those determined to forge their own paths and embrace their dreams however childish they may appear: Unicorn Store is about personal growth, self-love, acceptance and finding joy in the most unexpected places. It forces its audience to reflect on their adulthood, and question whether or not they maintained their imagination and lust for creativity; an incentive to reconnect with their inner child, to not abandon their dreams for the sake of fitting in to a box that is no more than a manufactured illusion.
