Review - The Brutalist
Brady Corbet's The Brutalist is a generational towering Prometheus; a 215 minute journey across continents and decades of a man searching for a new beginning. Centered around an empathic and devastating performance by Adrien Brody; The Brutalist earns every second of its intimdating, visceral journey.
Review - Conclave
Edward Berger's Conclave is a kinetic political thriller where the Sistine Chapel turns into a taut courtroom procedural. A who-dun-it in the midst of the Holy See; cardinals twist and turn their way to the throne, all the in shadow of God.
Review - Anora
Sean Baker's Anora is a Cinderella fairytale soaked in glitter, sex and rock n' roll. A volatile mad-cap caper that will leave you breathless. Centered around Mikey Madison's absolute star-turning performance, Baker has crafted his magnum opus; a star-crossed romance that turns into a hurricane of mania and chaos. Believe the Hype.
Review - The Life of Chuck
The Life of Chuck is Mike Flanagan at his most optimistic (and existential). No more ghosts or jump scares. Flanagan crafts a melancholic and touching re-affirmation of the many stages of life, death and everything in between.
Review - LONGLEGS
Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs is a nightmarishly visceral exercise in unsettling malevolent horror. Meticulous in its haunting atmosphere though less concerned with cheap thrills and jump scares; Longlegs is a disturbingly encapsulating thriller whose power lies in its lingering dread long after its final frame.
Review - Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ushers in a new era of the franchise while paying homage to Caesar’s legacy. While the visuals and set pieces elevate the film tremendously; the film overstays its new chapter by treading on familiar ground and a glacial pace.
Review - Civil War
Civil War is an excellent, violent exploration on how we choose to end the story, presciently arriving to theatres at a time when all the safeguards to the collapse seem to be tenuously holding together
Review - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Long gone are the days of the haunting ferocity of Godzilla and the humble heart of Kong. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is absolute chaotic bliss; an explosive kaiju-fest that strips away any of the mystery and darkness of its predecessors and instead runs fist-first into comically absurd cartoon mayhem.
Review - Dune: Part Two
A monumental achievement in technical prowess and grandiose scale; Denis Villeneuve returns to Arrakis to deliver a stunning spectacle of sight and sound. Dune: Part Two is a sprawling sci-fi epic that will leave you breathless.
Review - Sometimes I Think About Dying
Sometimes I Think About Dying quietly explores the familiar and safe danger of monotony with some of the most accurate scenes of office dynamics to hit the big screen. Daisy Ridley’s silent Fran is some of her most captivating work.
Review - Argylle
Argylle is a marketing magic trick: a bait and switch pseudo-action comedy that boasts a wondrous ensemble cast to mask a lifeless, unfunny slog of a film.
