ABOUT

 

A REVIEW OF NOT JUST A FILM OR A SERIES OF FILMS, BUT A REVIEW OF AN ARTIST'S OUTPUT. THEIR LIFE'S WORK REVIEWED ALL AT ONCE.

 

My name is Lleyton Hughes and I love movies. I am an amateur film critic and love watching how directors grow and change through each film they make. 

​

The aim of this website is to introduce film lovers to all the films by beloved directors, so they they can be introduced to more great films and also examine closely a director's career.

​

I personally feel that if you love one movie by a director you will love most of the others because the artist never changes. They may be going through different things and trying out different styles, but at the end of the day they are still the same person that made your favourite movie.

"The purpose of criticism thus becomes to uncover behind the superficial contrasts of subject and treatment a hard core of basic and often recondite motifs. The pattern formed by these motifs ... is what gives an author's work its particular structure, both defining it internally and distinguishing one body of work from another." - Geoffrey Nowell-Smith
