Biography
Carmen is a culture critic writing on film, television, theatre, and opera. She is a lover of musicals, 1950s and 1960s Hollywood, and late romantic opera – essentially, all things maximalist. Much of her work explores the process of cross-medium adaptation, looking at how the same stories are told and re-told across time and formats. She was previously Features Editor at One Room With a View and has written for publications such as The Skinny, Bright Wall / Dark Room, Little White Lies, VAN Magazine, CrookedMarquee, Take One Cinema, Screen Queens, OperaWire, Video Librarian, and FlipScreen. Film festival coverage, in person and digital, includes the Berlinale (2019, 2020, 2021), Edinburgh International Film Festival (2018, 2019), International Film Festival Rotterdam (2021, 2022), Glasgow Film Festival (2020, 2022), Locarno Film Festival (2021), London Film Festival (2019, 2020, 2021), and BFI Flare (2020). She is adept at delivering swift, clean reviews within the tight turnaround of festival premieres. Carmen completed her MA in International Film Business at the University of Exeter / London Film School, focusing on digital disruption in the entertainment industry and earning a Distinction First Class. She enjoys looking at how new distribution methods and audience interactions morph boundaries between genres and art forms. A BA in Drama and background in classical music informs her writing on changing theatrical practices, notably in opera.

By Carmen Paddock| Movies We Texted About@ When asked to define the word eephus, many may just give up. The word sounds almost made-up if you do not come from the world of baseball. If you are a fan of the great American pastime, however, an eephus is a known quantity. It is the name for a strange, difficult pitch. In a game where pitchers’ speed in throwing is lauded as the pinnacle of achievement, the curving shot of an eephus is almost preternaturally slow.
By Carmen Paddock| The Skinny Verified Film title: The Return Director: Uberto Pasolini Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Charlie Plummer, Marwan Kenzari, Tom Rhys Harries Release date: 11 Apr Certificate: 15 Uberto Pasolini’s adaptation of the closing chapters of The Odyssey is a quiet take on the familiar finale. Here, Ithaca is in ruins, its lands wasted by the loss of its king and soldiers and, more pressingly, by the suitors vying for Penelope’s (Juliette Binoche) hand.
By Carmen Paddock| Movies We Texted About@ Karan Kandhari’s Sister Midnight seems, upon its opening, to be a quotidian domestic drama. Uma (Radhika Apte) has one key problem taking over her life: she and her new husband, Gobal (Ashok Parthak), are not at all compatible. Those who arranged their marriage failed to account for fundamental differences in temperament and, while neither is horrible to the other, existence within the same spaces soon becomes stifling for Uma in particular.
