Is there anything among your entertainment options (streaming, cinema outings, music, books, whatever) that would be the absolute last to go if money got too tight?
An intense, intimate tale of historical illegal abortion, with a central performance of focused terror; a harrowing body horror that looms again. I cannot overstate the absolute urgency of this film.
In honor of me being all temporally discombobulated because yesterday was a holiday here in the UK, so even though it’s Tuesday, it feels like Monday.
Steady your heart palpitations: it’s the same old era for the nicest feudal hangover. The delusional reactionary fantasy of wealth and privilege for some, cheerful servitude for others remains intact.
Stiflingly literal mounting of the classic feminist tale. Flat and stilted, with no cultural context and no visceral insight into its protagonist’s plight, and emptiness where there should be empathy.
What is your ideal film that doesn’t already exist, however you define that?
Amusing but instantly forgettable, fueled by a self-congratulatory smugness and self-reference. The best bits are the sincere stuff: a scene-stealing Pedro Pascal and a sweetly vulnerable Nic(k) Cage.
The teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder landed today… and my response was, well, somewhat mixed. Where, when, and how does the current superhero cycle of cinema end?
Lovely, gentle look at an artwork honoring the marginalized. A compassionate challenge to cultural assumptions, including those that decenter the poor and insist that art is a luxury, not a necessity.
Spectacularly entertaining. As gripping, as suspenseful as a finely wrought fictional thriller; a sheer delight as a portrait of the man himself. Films don’t get much more daring or crucial than this.
