There’s something refreshingly unpredictable about Emilia Pérez, a film that refuses to be boxed in by any typical genre label. This isn’t your average musical or crime thriller, and it’s far from your typical “heartwarming” redemption story. Jacques Audiard’s latest work is a whirlwind that blends the high drama of drug cartels, the raw vulnerability…
You might see A Real Pain and expect something simple—a quick-witted, feel-good buddy flick, the kind you put on to unwind without too much emotional investment. And on the surface, that’s what it appears to be. But Jesse Eisenberg, in his signature style, steers this film down an unexpected path, balancing sharp, sardonic humor with…
First Impressions: A Comedy That Goes for Broke The Gutter doesn’t tiptoe around. It charges right in, a storm of jokes and gags hitting you like machine gun fire. This is a movie that wants you to be on its wavelength, to get the jokes, and to settle in for a rollercoaster of exaggerated humor….
A Quiet Triumph in Indie Filmmaking In a world that often demands grand gestures and epic narratives, I Like Movies stands out not for its ambition to dazzle, but for its quiet sincerity. Chandler Levack’s debut feature is a far cry from the typical teen comedies that dominated the 2000s, a genre often populated with…
There’s something about Last Days of the Space Age that feels like walking through a house where every room is partially furnished but none of them make sense together. It starts slow, like a train easing out of the station, but instead of gathering speed, it never quite leaves the tracks. The show tries to…
When it comes to The Franchise, there’s a lot to talk about. It’s funny, dark, and a little too real if you know anything about the way blockbuster superhero movies are churned out these days. Armando Iannucci, Jon Brown, and Sam Mendes have created a show that’s sharp and fast-paced, full of clever humor that…
Let’s time-travel back to 1964, where the world was shifting, not just politically or culturally, but musically too. In the midst of Cold War tensions and social revolutions, four mop-topped lads from Liverpool landed in America, and the world went wild. The Beatles didn’t just change the charts—they changed everything. But this isn’t about the…
Let’s just say it: Duck Soup is a mess — a brilliant, chaotic, nonsensical mess that wraps its insanity around the viewer like a circus tent spun in a tornado. There’s really no way to describe this film by the Marx Brothers without admitting that it seems, at first glance, to be a complete and…
Some films have this uncanny way of reaching into the deep places of your heart without you realizing it — they draw out your own half-buried memories and present them back to you, dressed in a different story. That’s what Lady Bird feels like. From the very first scene, with the dramatic leap out of…
I didn’t know what to expect when I first heard about Frankie Freako. If you told me I’d be watching an ’80s-inspired creature feature filled with chaotic, absurd antics, I might have raised an eyebrow. But here we are. In all its unapologetic weirdness, Frankie Freako brings to the screen a nostalgic throwback to films…
