A really brutal early serial killer noir with an effective expressionist subjectivity to it a la M. Combines constant fractured POV imagery + unnatural camera angles + a graceful musicality to the movement/cutting that together develop into a mournfully blurred depiction of…
Josh LewisNov 11, 2021The last 10 minutes of Hangover Square are masterful, a perfect coming together of director, editor, actors, set designers, art directors, and special effects technicians. Ultimately, ambition of the sequence — the flames, the emotions, the whirlwind of perspectives — is…

Sally Jane BlackJan 30, 2019A feast for the eyes, a terror for the soul, and Laird Cregar just broke my heart. What a beautifully sensitive performance, and what a shame that it was to be his last. And Linda Darnell? She’s a “bad little girlie” indeed, almost made me hate her, but how can you hate a…
Anna Imhof 🌸Nov 5, 2021"Please do remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot..." (Warning: spoilers ahead, including the ending.) To commemorate Guy Fawkes Day, it was only right that I watch Hangover Square, a…
