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…
There’s a certain magnetic pull when you watch Sophie Turner take on the role of Joan Hannington in the British drama Joan. The tension she creates with Frank Dillane feels like something you can almost reach out and touch, and yet, beneath the crackling chemistry, there’s this ever-present thread of mistrust. They dance around each…
Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets—what can be said that hasn’t already been spilled across decades of reviews, essays, and retrospectives? It’s not your typical gangster flick, and that’s putting it lightly. No glamorous mafioso sitting on a leather chair pontificating over loyalty and honor. No guns blazing in some operatic, slow-motion ballet. This is something messier,…
The Battle of Algiers isn’t your run-of-the-mill war movie. It doesn’t ask you to sit back, watch the explosions, and cheer for the heroes. Instead, it’s a film that pulls you into the thick of things, makes you squirm a bit, and doesn’t let you walk away with easy answers. It’s about the Algerian struggle…
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…
There’s a distinct kind of story that sneaks up on you — the kind that doesn’t just tell you about life, but makes you feel it reverberating in your bones. Past Lives is one of those films. It’s not flashy or dramatic; it doesn’t offer easy resolutions or grand gestures. What it does is far…
Few movies reach out and grip you in ways that linger long after you’ve turned off the screen. Most simply offer a fleeting escape from the mundane. Then there are films like Days of Heaven. It’s more than just a movie—it’s an experience that sweeps you away with the force of a prairie wind, depositing…
Imagine a world of dreams, secrets, and untamed ambition—where glitz and glamour mask deceit and decay. This is the realm that Mank brings to life, but don’t be fooled by the nostalgic allure of black-and-white frames or the sparkle of old Hollywood’s Golden Age. David Fincher’s Mank is no ordinary film, nor is it just…
There’s something uniquely exhilarating about a film that seems simple on the surface but, the more you sit with it, reveals layers of complexity. Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India is that kind of movie. On the face of it, it’s a classic underdog sports film—villagers take on their oppressive British rulers in a…
Have you ever watched a film and found yourself not entirely sure what to make of it? Not in a “What just happened?” kind of way, but more in a “This feels like real life, and real life is complicated” sort of way. That’s the sensation I got after watching My Happy Family, a Georgian…
