In The Nosebleeds

An amateur review site.

My name’s Maggie. I’m a 20-something Aussie living in London and spending all my money on theatre tickets. This is what I think about theatre (and other stuff).

Sheffield DocFest part 1: The Stringer

⭐⭐⭐ Documentary covers incredible and worthy story but has the wrong focus.

Film
Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netflix’s pedestrian house style is eclipsed by a compelling story of inevitable tragedy.

Film
The Perfect Bite

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Head to the website of The Upcoming for my review of The Perfect Bite at Gaucho, City of London.

Theatre
Shucked

⭐⭐⭐ Lowest common denominator comedy lands enough hits to be entertaining.

Theatre
Dear England

⭐⭐ Despite its premise, this basic sports story offers little depth, settling for cheap tricks.

Theatre
Shanghai Dolls

⭐⭐⭐ Historical drama is compelling but shortchanges the potential of a fascinating true(ish) story.

Theatre
Personal Values

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Head to the website of The Upcoming for my review of Personal Values at Hampstead Theatre.

Theatre
The Forsythe Programme

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Head to the website of The Upcoming for my review of The Forsythe Programme at Sadlers Wells.

Theatre
One to One: John & Yoko

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating doco uses iconic duo to examine a moment in American history.

Film
Mrs Doubtfire

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slapstick comedy is backed up by a sweet story, making this a family hit.
