James vs His Future Self has a depth of feeling unlike most films, yet it is also scientifically interesting without relying on special effects. It resists being something we’ve seen before, and never stops entertaining.
The 7th directorial effort by George Clooney is a beautiful, boring, and predictable story that skips the exciting parts, instead focusing on dread, misery and fading hope in the light of humanity. It is the type of film designed to be called brave, but is more an exercise of muscles that are best left unflexed.
WW84 soars and falls like a bird that just discovered its wings.
In this time of endless Hallmark style romances, it’s nice to see two beautiful people fall in something that looks, feels and hurts like real love. The Photograph is a lesson from one generation to another.
This is some of the best work of Boseman’s too short career, and it’s representative of what Davis does every time out.
Watch this only if you need to see everything Chastain or Mbatha-Raw have done. Otherwise, avoid.
If you ever wanted to see what Stanley has in his mind in any given moment, give this a try.
This is the perfect film for teenagers who see the world through a Tik Tok lens.
This is an enjoyable film, even if every single moment is telegraphed.
