Frame 70 Movie & TV Reviews

Directed by Kane Parsons and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Lukita Maxwell and Mark Duplass, Backrooms is the 2026 A24 horror film that grows out of Parsons' own viral YouTube series. A furniture store owner falls through a crack in his own wall into an endless maze of yellow rooms that get everything almost right, and never quite manage to be real. The deeper he goes, the harder it becomes to tell which world he actually belongs to.

In this review, Fraser shares why the film's central idea, that the Backrooms builds its rooms the way someone draws...

Created by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses and starring Steve Carell, Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster and John C. McGinley, Rooster is the 2026 HBO comedy series that became the network's most watched new comedy in over a decade. Carell plays Greg Russo, a bestselling novelist who lands at a New England college campus to support his daughter through a very public marriage breakdown, and ends up staying for the semester.

In this review, Fraser shares why the show's best dynamic isn't the one on the poster, the on-screen moment that sent him straight back down The...

Ladyhawke (1985) is Richard Donner's romantic fantasy about two lovers cursed to never truly be together. By day, Isabeau is a hawk. By night, Navarre is a wolf. The only moment they ever share in human form is a fleeting sliver of dawn and dusk. Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer star as the cursed couple, with Matthew Broderick as the thief who gets swept up in their fight to break the spell.

This week Darryl takes on a genuine eighties classic, and it's one that catches him off guard in more than one way. He's won over by...

Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya, The Odyssey is Nolan's sprawling adaptation of Homer's ancient epic poem, following King Odysseus on his ten year journey home after the fall of Troy. Shot entirely on IMAX cameras across five countries, this is a film carrying enormous expectation, and it has to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

In this review, Fraser shares why Tom Holland's performance completely surprised him, why the practically shot cyclops cave sequence left him feeling the sound in his chest, and why the film's cinematography...

Directed by Tom Kingsley and starring Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement, Alice and Steve is the Disney Plus "wrong-com" that follows two best friends of twenty-five years whose bond implodes when Steve starts dating Alice's daughter. One of the more under-the-radar surprises of the year, this is a show that earns its chaos every step of the way.

In this review, Fraser shares why Nicola Walker's performance as Alice completely recontextualised what he thought he knew about her after years of watching Unforgotten, why Jemaine Clement's turn as Steve might be one of his most underrated, and...

Directed by Jerry Zucker and starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, Ghost is the 1990 supernatural romance that became one of the biggest box office hits of its era and has remained a firm audience favourite for more than three decades.

In this review, Darryl shares why Jerry Zucker's leap from Airplane! to Ghost is one of the more remarkable turns in Hollywood directing, why Whoopi Goldberg's Oscar-winning performance as Oda Mae Brown still holds up scene for scene, and why the pottery wheel scene remains, for him, one of cinema's truly unforgettable moments more than...

Directed by Curry Barker and starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette and Cooper Tomlinson, Obsession is the 2026 supernatural horror phenomenon that turned a $750,000 budget into one of the biggest box office stories of the year. When a hopelessly awkward music store employee wishes for his longtime crush to love him more than anything in the world, he gets exactly what he asked for — and everything that comes with it.

In this review, Fraser shares why he paused the movie convinced Apple TV was showing him the wrong version, the brilliant directing choice around Nikki that became his Frame 70 Mo...

Based on the quirky but bestselling mystery novel, The Sheep Detectives is a heartfelt family whodunnit that blends humour, mystery and genuine emotion into one of the year’s biggest surprises. Starring Hugh Jackman, Molly Gordon and Emma Thompson, with an outstanding voice cast bringing the flock to life, this is far more than its unusual premise suggests.

In this review, Darryl shares why The Sheep Detectives reminded him of Babe, how the film balances laughs with some unexpectedly touching moments, and why the clever mystery kept him guessing right through to the final reveal.

Based on the remarkable true story of John Davidson, I Swear is a moving British drama that explores what it means to live with Tourette syndrome in a world that doesn’t always understand it. Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Scott Ellis Watson and Peter Mullan, this is a film that is as funny as it is heartbreaking.

In this review, I share why I Swear became one of the year’s biggest surprises for me, how it balances humour with genuine emotion, and why I think it’s a film that everyone should experience at least...
