I had so much fun interviewing filmmakers Will Speck and Josh Gordon behind Lyle Lyle Crocodile, a new family movie based on the children’s story of the same name and its prequel The House on East 88th Street by Bernard Waber. Not only these directors are talented but they are supported by top Hollywood star Javier Bardem as well as the sweetest sing-song writer of the moment Shawn Mendes. I have laughed and giggled throughout the screening.  

Lyle Lyle Crocodile is released on 14 October 2022 in cinemas.

Think The Stepford Wives meets The Truman Show meets The Matrix. Don’t Worry Darling is an interesting mix of genres that becomes even more peculiar if you add 50s upbeat vinyl music, gorgeous fashion and cars. Throw everything in the middle of an American desert and add a pinch of experimental utopia and you get Don’t Worry Darling. It’s in cinemas now.
