ALL FILM REVIEWS
‘Challengers’ REVIEW: It’s not just about tennis
Challengers is a well-crafted film with a brilliant screenplay that knows how to humanize and dehumanize its characters in a three-way love affair that is more than just tennis.
'Mean Girls (2024)’ REVIEW: More is more and meaner
Mean Girls is not just a mere copy or another adaptation to avoid; it takes everything from the original and amplifies it all into a louder and more “fetch” movie with catchy tunes to boot.
‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ REVIEW: Sympathy for the Abyss
James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the last breath of a sinking ship. A haze of ideas flashing before one’s eyes without understanding and empathizing with their significance.
'Wonka’ REVIEW: Chalamet, chocolates and childlike wonder
Like the previous movies, ‘Wonka’ plays out as a musical interspersed with magical scenes of chocolate and hope, a constant reminder that everyone with a drive to share their craft with the world gets a golden ticket in life sooner or later.
'Barbie' REVIEW: The Beautiful Gaps in Barbie's Mother-Daughter Subplot
Barbie underutilized a beautiful paradox: the younger Sasha outgrows Barbie, while the older Gloria finds solace in her. In this odd ballet of circumstances, Barbie is the cord connecting generations.
‘Fanny: The Right To Rock’ REVIEW: How do you resurrect what history has buried?
The tragedy of ‘Fanny’ is that they arrived too early and then arrived too late, but this documentary doesn’t offer a tale of wrong timing, but rather, a heartwarming ode to one of the forgotten pioneers of rock & roll.
‘The Batman’ REVIEW: A neo-noir mystery that deconstructs a tortured hero
‘The Batman’ creates a desolate environment that inhales fear and exhales vengeance, inviting us to deconstruct an erratic and tortured hero like we’ve never seen before.
