Ford v Ferrari – Entertaining And Thrilling
As a film, Ford v. Ferrari becomes one that sets out to entertain us and it does its job beautifully.
Moothon – A Better Life
Moothon has a number of interesting characters that get their moment to shine but it is Nivin Pauly’s Bhai that steals the show. The actor does things we’ve never seen him do.
Raincoat – Lost Love
The real success of Raincoat lies in the performance of Aishwarya Rai. She’s at times heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Nayak – Deconstructing A Hero
The opening scene of Satyajit Ray’s Nayak does not show the titular hero’s face for some time. Uttam Kumar gets to take on us on a emotional roller-coaster while still maintaining a level of dignity that is aspirational.
Dolemite Is My Name – Eddie’s Back
Dolemite Is My Name benefits from its unique setting that lets it become an interesting and entertaining film.
Kaithi – A Thrill Ride
A film like Kaithi is a showcase for what Tamil cinema can be. Thrilling, touching and more than anything else entertaining.
Sonchiriya – The Law Of Nature
The first thought I had while watching Sonchiriya is that I should have seen this in the theaters. But more than anything, I am happy with the fact that such a film exists
El Camino – A Breaking Bad Review
I want to thank Vince Gilligan for deciding to revisit this world with El Camino. The film feels more like an extended episode of the show and that works well in my opinion.
Revisiting Justice League
Justice League was one of the widely anticipated superhero films purely because we were getting to see our favorite characters on screen. In hindsight they probably would have gone with a more consistent tone but the film just feels a little meh.
Good Time – Brotherhood
From the minds of the Safdie Brothers comes Good Time and it is one hell of a crazy trip. It takes so many twists and turns that you cannot help but appreciate the way the story has been plotted.
