The Movie Maharishi

Must the film critic be wise, cultured, and oddly attentive to mise-en-scene? Decide, traveler, in the holy temple of film reviews! Enter… if you dare…

Every Friday, long-form reviews of movie-films by the people of the world shall be ominously released into the ether. Specializing in young writers with independent voices and backgrounds, this psychic venture aims to connect cinephiles from all over the rock. Welcome, to the temple of The Movie Maharishi…

  • Long-format, weekly reviews for films of our selection.
  • Shorter reviews of favourites in ‘Old but Gold’
  • End of year lists will be posted from our movie aficionados.
  • Open discussion, viewing recommendations and friendly debate is encouraged.
  • We love and care about movies. Film graduates and nerds with reference points for days curate the site.
  • We don’t want to waste your time! Reviews are free and accessible to everyone, just scroll down.

Hasta la vista, baby.
