Dead Man's Wire movie poster

Dead Man’s Wire (1h44m)

Gus Van Sant’s indy style gives the film a nice documentary feel and the strong performances keep the audience engaged.
But the film feels fragmented as it tells its story through too many angles while focusing on none of them.

Rating: C+

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die movie poster

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2h14m)

Fresh and clever take on a classic sci-fi trope. Topical with its satire of social media and AI trends.
Verbinski’s skills do wonders with a humble budget and Rockwell is his usual fantastic self.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (1h48m)

Same jubilant balance of comedy and gore as the first installment, up to yet again a truly rewarding conclusion.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie poster

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (1h38m)

The action is non-stop, the Easter eggs numerous, the CGI impeccable... and the script nonsensical, a result of trying to adapt to the screen an IP with no meaningful world building in the first place.

Rating: D

No Hard Feelings movie poster

No Hard Feelings (1h43m)

Good pitch, very funny movie with a particularly clever brand of comedy.
The structure is predictable but the character work is original and Jennifer Lawrence is all in.

Netflix/Disney+ / Rating: B-

The Drama movie poster

The Drama (1h46m)

Both leads gives wide ranging performances and Borgli’s direction is focused, clever and constantly elevates the movie.
But while the script is skillfully written, the core element is a too extreme to convince, up to a cheap ending that doesn’t really feel organic.

Project Hail Mary movie poster

Project Hail Mary (2h36m)

An absolute gem of a film that blends serious science-fiction with genuine comedy and true emotion in a way never done so well.
Clever script, skillful direction and Gosling's range all come together.

How to Make a Killing movie poster

How to Make a Killing (1h45m)

Lackluster and shameless rip-off of the Ealing classic “Kind Hearts and Coronets” that even Glen Powell’s natural charm can’t rescue from its confused tone.

Hoppers movie poster

Hoppers (1h44m)

Well-rounded film that brings together a great cast, efficient direction and high-quality visuals.
The wild twist on a familiar pitch is one of Pixar’s best ideas in years: original, touching and completely bonkers.

Rating: A-

Pillion movie poster

Pillion (1h46m)

Raunchy on the surface, the story depicts an unconventional lifestyle with great nuance and surprisingly touching grace, owing a lot to the bold and outstanding performances from its two leads and very focused direction.

Sentimental Value movie poster

Sentimental Value (2h13m)

Top-notch performances, first and foremost by the very versatile Elle Fanning.
But the story lacks severely in focus and never really explores or resolves its over-abundance of themes in a satisfactory way.

Christy movie poster

Christy (2h15m)

Against type, Sweeney gives a gritty and transformative performance. Ben Foster is also brilliant.
And the rest of the film is solid, be it the well-built script or Michôd's efficient direction, resulting in an engaging and inspiring biopic.

Rating: B

Train Dreams movie poster

Train Dreams (1h42m)

Light on plot and often mired in its literary roots, the film makes up for it with a nuanced performance by Joel Edgerton and truly sumptuous cinematography to deliver a touching and nostalgic portrait.

The Secret Agent movie poster

The Secret Agent (2h41m)

Authentic recreation of the corrupt mood of 1970s Brazil. But the script is lackluster and far-fetched and the direction clumsy.
All that’s left is the strong performance from Wagner Moura which holds the film together.

Rating: D

#TheSecretAgent #MovieReview #Movies

Scream 7 movie poster

Scream 7 (1h54m)

Back to its roots, the film delivers the expected: gory deaths and shocking final act reveals.
But the IP has lost the meta self-parody edge that made it so fun and relevant and, while still moderately entertaining, is now on its last legs.

The Wrecking Crew movie poster

The Wrecking Crew (2h04m)

A couple of funny bits and some expensive action sequences but the script is hopelessly cliché, a prime example of what streamers green-light today: unoriginal and forgettable eye-candy.

Prime Video/Rating: D

No Other Choice movie poster

No Other Choice (2h19m)

Solid concept and strong performance by lead Lee Byung-hun.
But the script feels unfocused and Park Chan-wook’s direction messy. A prior adaptation of the source novel by Costa-Gavras had delivered a much more powerful movie.

Rating: C-

The show has no time for historical realism and instead focuses on goofy plots and hilarious hijinks, with both Fanning and Hoult giving outrageous performances.
