In-depth reviews by our experts 🔮
Speak No Evil
"Maybe learning the Big Five Personality Traits/OCEAN Model should be mandatory for people who are outdoorsy, social, footloose and loquacious. The original Danish one was better at multiple angles. Hollywood overdid it at some places and tried to embellish and over-explain the whole thing at others."
Deadpool & Wolverine
"Trans fat of the superhero realm. As Deadpool 2's Deadpool would have said- "That's just lazy writing". When we are living at a point of the last whimper of a dying universe and for quite sometime now, Deadpool and Wolverine is nothing but a fan service for trying to blow oxygen into the last remnants of nostalgia. The worrying thing is that the IP-gods over at the studios aren't shying away anymore from openly admitting that as we can see…"
Midnight Special
"This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth."
Ingrid Goes West
"About a very bad investment that can be remedied by therapy and mood stabilizers. But, too similar to a particular Black Mirror episode."
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
"Couldn't wait for it to be over. Filled with inaccuracies in terms of the whole timeline of events and hodgepodge of a screenplay leaving key points out, it's not the first time Hollywood tried to glamorize a psychopath."
Wolfs
"While Clooney plays a hunched Michael Clayton, Pitt plays, well, himself in this stylish comedy thriller that ultimately turns out to be too simplistic of a wasted potential and missed opportunity."
Trapped in the Rocky Mountains
"Probably the stupidest thing I have watched in a while. A bunch of adults or at least who look like adults starring in a childish story."
Top of the Lake
"Always assumed Elisabeth Moss was born to play June Osborne/Offred. Now I realized she actually earned it."
It Ends with Us
"While Lively is the lifeline of this movie, in the day and age of Big Little Lies, Maid and Alice, Darling, it seems a little cliched, long-drawn and worn-out."
Wicked Little Letters
""A witch is born out of the true hungers of her time. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.”- Ray Bradbury. Had the same thing transpired today, it would have been considered a slow Monday for the internet. Unapologetically feminist with a barrage of expletives and tongue-in-cheek humor and at the same time achingly somber. The climax could have been a little more slick and smooth and a little less…"
Kneecap
"For the love and pride of Gaelic. When Fassbender says- "I am proud to have learned my irregular verbs on a wall covered in shite. And you know what that shite smelled like? Freedom." I swear to the Catholics deity all the memories from his role as Bobby Sands from Hunger came flooding back to me. It's not everyday an actor gets to pay tribute to his own legacy and yet comes up with something substantial and incredible. At this…"
Cuckoo
"I can see Dan Stevens hasn't gotten over with his creep spell after all. Eerily unsettling, maddening and mind-bending but tries a little too much and too loud to stay mysterious. Hunter Schafer is turning out to be a great new addition to the new generation of starlets. More of this kind of experimental horror, Please! Hollywood."
The Crying Game
"I can see why it was this big surprise as per its era and it definitely was ahead of its time but the various themes felt zigzagging all over the place. Maybe a product of its time but too late for me I guess when it comes to the shock and surprise."
Winner
"Putting an Adam McKay spin on the 2023 Tina Satter's Reality starring Sydney Sweeney. There is a line between biography and a full-blown hagiography that is also a political thriller and Winner here jumps across the line towards the latter energetically with fast-cut edits and expositions yet superfluously and superficially turning an espionage event into a coming-of-age drama, you know, what Hollywood does the best. Except Emilia Jones has been pretty great in everything she has been in including this…"
Blink Twice
"So, this is how they would have wanted to strangle the fifth wave of feminism in its crib.A spiritual sequel to Don't Worry Darling and a Westworld rip-offIt's like If George Saunders had written an episode of Black Mirror. All of Dante's nine circles of hell in one movie. Whatever Glass Onion/Midsommar/Get Out/The Menu cocktail mixing was going on in this one, I couldn't be able to just breeze past the idea of Hollywood self-criticizing itself regarding the…"
An Inspector Calls
"I think it's impertinent to even suggest that An Inspector Calls has resemblances to 13 Reasons Why because first of all it was originally written three quarters of a century ago and secondly it's also bears within itself the Eat The Reach underpinnings that takes it beyond the formulaic detective-styled whodunnit. It's about a genuine sense of guilt or lack thereof in the upper echelons of the social class (or as they say in America- Karens). Personally, I see this…"
Oddity
"More about Twinning Reaction than ghosts, ghouls or apparitions. Oddity takes clear-cut inspirations from Mike Flanagan's movies and TV Series, especially from The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass as well as Guillem Morales's Julia's Eyes and quite successfully evokes the creepy side of things but when it comes to the mystery thriller side, it becomes way too easy and predictable. But, with the help of peeling off the layers in a non-linear fashion quite cleverly it holds onto…"
The Marsh King's Daughter
"Room + Where The Crawdads SingIn an attempt of strict adherence to the thumb rule of 'Show, Don't Tell', this movie throws every subtlety out the window and mistakenly forgets How much show is too much. Every memory, enactment, reenactment, wishful thinking don't have to be on the screen or worse getting beaten over the head with the metaphorical hammer in the most obvious manner. Still, The Marsh King's Daughter has something substantive to say if you lean towards the whole "Strong Female Character"."
