Quintessentially Irish review – Pierce Brosnan weighs in on scattergun study of Irishness

It features a definition of “the craic” but, frustratingly, this long, meandering documentary about Irishness contains only very small quantities of actual fun. It’s a follow-up from film-maker Frank Mannion to his 2022 doc Quintessentially British, but feels like a commission from Aer Lingus: something to watch inflight from Boston to Dublin, soothingly bland, relaxingly dull. Though to be fair, Mannion gets a big laugh when he archly asks a...

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity.

Critics, cancellation and cleanskin wine: the Australian novels satirising the art world

The art world can be a space of wonder, beauty, bravery, connection and community. As an art critic and art historian, I’ve spent the past decade swimming in these waters.

Perhaps “art worlds” is a better way to describe the barely overlapping spheres. It can be difficult to find the...
