movie review
Going to a premiere these days seems like an extraordinary event. This week, I attended the premiere of independent movie Zebra Girl in the West End that made me forget for a few hours that we are still in pandemic times. It was good to be back in cinemas, although the film was a bit too scary and disturbing for my liking. 
Zebra Girl is a psychological thriller with a bold streak of pitch-black humour that explores the vicious cycle of abuse and mental illness. But fans of psycho thrillers would find this interesting, for sure. 

Looking back at my picture from the premiere, I realised I looked like a Zebra girl (giggles).

Zebra Girl is in cinemas from today 28 May 2021.

Today cinemas re-open after over a year in lockdown and what a cracker of a movie to go back to the big screen. This morning I attended a special press screening of Peter Rabbit 2 – whose release has been delayed for a year – starring Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, Margot Robbie and James Corden as Peter Rabbit. A perfect mix of CGI and live action, Peter Rabbit 2 – The Runaway is filled with gags from beginning to end as well as smart and witty dialogues that will appeal both children and parents alike. Peter Rabbit 2 hops into cinemas today.
