About

Hi! I’m Nancy, and I’m using this website to record previous articles I’ve written as well as post new ones. I am the first student to take the MA by Research course in Film, Theatre and Television at the University of Reading. I have written for The Oxford Student, Cherwell, TAKE ONE Cinema and Screen Daily, and I have also undertaken research for Empire magazine. While I have written several articles about television and gaming, my central interests reside in film reviews and essays.

My debut monograph, The Sound of Silence: Ryan Gosling, Expressionism and the Silent Hero in 21st-Century Film, was released in e-Book format in January 2024, followed by a release in hardback in February 2024. The paperback version will be released in September 2025.

Review: Search For Squarepants

A staunch SpongeBob stan who follows the traditional viewpoint that the series lost its mojo when OG creator Stephen Hillenberg made his first departure after the OG movie watches a SB movie that she probably won’t particularly enjoy but is nonetheless intrigued to give it a watch.
