TIFF 2024:Thrilling and Equally Insane Exploration of Parenthood

With domestic violence being a crisis that should be declared a global pandemic, it is surprising that no organization exists to assess whether couples planning to become parents are truly fit for the role. The issue is not about financial stability or kindness alone. Raising a child is not easy; it requires certain prerequisites before […]

TIFF 15 Review: High-Rise

It’s always great pleasure seeing such movies where from the opening scene you’re thrown into strange atmosphere of weirdness, tempting and seductive world from where you don’t really want to come back, no matter how uncontrolled the environment is. But in the end when the film over, you will feel a strong feeling of appreciation […]

Small Things Like These Review

From director Tim Mielants and based on the book written by Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These is an adaptation with heart about a situation involving layers of uncertainty. The story is woven in a way that is thought-provoking. It weighs the choices a man must make when faced with secrets. The film is set in areas around County Wexford and County Wicklow in Ireland. The season of the film gives off a chilly feeling and thecinematography feels cold as […]

Nickel Boys Review

Directed by RaMell Ross, this is one of the most spellbinding literary adaptations that will be remembered for ages. Nickel Boys is based on the Pulitzer winning novel written by Colson Whitehead. Nickel Boys is a revelation in the eyes of an authenticity—it weaves its audience into the journey of its main characters. Revolving around rough times in the 1960s, it is in an in-depth exploration that is remarkable.

REVIEW: “The Order” (2024)

Out of the many features premiering this Fall movie season, few have peaked my curiosity quite like Justin Kurzel’s “The Order”. Based on the 1989 non-fiction book “The Silent Brotherhood” by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, Kurzel’s period crime thriller sets out to tackle some potent subject matter. And with Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, and […]

London Film Festival 2024: The Balconettes Review

For my next film at the London Film Festival, I decided to go with The Balconettes, mainly because, looking at the creative team, I saw that it was co-written by Celine Sciamma, who is one of my favourite directors working today, reuniting with Noemie Merlant. The general premise of the film sounded intriguing to me […]

Review: “Sleep”

The scary part is the lack of control. When you’re asleep, anything can happen. Your mind can dream up things wonderful and terrible. You can talk out loud. You can get up and move and walk with zero conscious control over your limbs. Recently, I fell asleep at my desk while working on a job […]

Directed by Marielle Heller; Nightbitch is a new comedy/drama/horror film starring Amy Adams. With a supporting cast that includes Scoot McNairy and Zoë Chao, Adams plays a woman whose domesticity takes a surreal turn after pausing her career to become a full-time mother.

Lanthimos: Kinds of Kindness (2024)

The working title of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindnesses was And. In some ways, that was a more apposite title, since this anthology comedy is obsessed with one of the uncanniest spectacles in a hyper-connected world: the physical spaces and silences between things. The structure of the film itself reflects that interest in connective tissue […]

Sorrentino: Parthenope (2024)

Paolo Sorrentino’s latest film, Parthenope, is one of the most alluring of his career – and that’s really saying something. It’s about a young woman, the Parthenope of the title, played by Celeste Della Porta, who is born into a wealthy Neapolitan family in the 1950s. Most of the film takes place in the 1970s, […]
