Else
Else6 2024 HD
The objective to be one with the other is simultaneously the most romantic of ideas and the one that provokes utter terror. In his debut feature film “Else” screened at the Toronto Film Festival Thibault Emin directs us in the direction of the former but before long takes a nosedive into the implications of the […]

Starve Acre
Starve Acre5.4 2023 HD
You can feel what’s going on in “Starve Acre” as soon as you press play. You know how when you are watching that film, they make it intolerably humid and wet? A characteristic of the film the more visible as the secrets get literally unburied as the film unfolds. Daniel Kokotajlo’s second feature is a […]

Ricky Stanicky
Ricky Stanicky6.2 2024 HD
Ricky Stanicky: Quite some time ago, and before Judd Apatow pretty much monopolized on infantile male-centered films, there still existed someone like Peter Farrelly, who with Bobby could make seine films that would, well, have a funny, if a little extreme and rude, film ‘Dumb and Dumber’ or ‘There, am Mary, but What am I?’, […]

Night Swim
Night Swim4.7 2024 HD
As if plunging into a lazy river of horrors was not enough, completing the experience is ‘Night Swim’ – the excuse your friends give every January to convince you to watch a horror movie with them produced by Blumhouse. “Night Swim” keeps the nets like ‘M3gan’ one calendar year ago. And while I do not […]

Harold and the Purple Crayon5.7 2024 HD
Having a deep respect for Harold and the Purple Crayon, a children’s book by Crockett Johnson, which I call his “the imagination is the most powerful tool” book of 1955 (I give every new born I love a copy of the book with a purple crayon taped inside – which is interesting through very useful […]

Monster Summer
Monster Summer6.3 2024 HD
Since “Stranger Things” is plodding towards its last season which appears very far off such that the kids will soon be looking causes for retirement, it would be easy to begin hunting for the new one’s releases to plug the void. Pure strain 80s nostalgia for those cheesy family movies, be it a king adaptation […]

Damsel
Damsel6.1 2024 HD
“Once upon a time, there was a chivalric romance in which the heroic knight was able to rescue a princess in peril,” begins a quote from a woman’s voice without revealing the title, ‘Damsel.’ “This is not one of them.” This sappy story of a hot male actor may polarize critics but, thank God, I […]

Daaaaaalí!
Daaaaaalí!6.7 2023 HD
Several clichés are present in the wiseass anti-biopic Daaaaaalí! This nose-tweaking comedy addresses the problem with telling a conventional narrative with a well-known figure such as the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. The hardiest and possibly the most tempting truism comes instead of last: Salvador Dali was, as were many other artists-public figures, the biggest work […]

Descendants: The Rise of Red
Descendants: The Rise of Red4.7 2024 HD
At the very onset of Descendants: The Rise of Red, we see a royal proclamation which states that the elite boarding school for Walt Disney’s classic characters would now be accepting a new class of VKs – Villain’s Kids. More familiar as the children of the Disney movies’ evil villains. Admission letters were or rather […]
