Harking back to its video game roots, the fights are bloody, especially with the finishing moves. Known as fatalities in the video game series, maybe these cinematic kills are faithful to their smaller screen counterparts, but I’d have to leave that to the true fans to decide.
The legendary director's latest thriller boasts a strong cast and explosive finale but lacks the colourful characters and charm that defined his best work
For the last few years, it has felt like the romantic comedy lost some of its identity. Somewhere between overly polished streaming originals and hyper-self-aware dating culture, the genre became less about genuine connection and more about aesthetics or irony. But Finding Emily feels like a refreshing return to what made people fall in love […]
The disappointment with "The Devil Wears Prada 2" says more about its critics than the film. Andy Sachs is allowed to want love alongside her career, and audiences need to stop demanding that fictional women conform to their ideological templates.

This weekend, Josephine (the sophomore feature from writer-director Beth de Araújo) took both the Grand Jury and Audience awards at Sundance, placing it alongside Precious, Whiplash, CODA and Minari, films that went on to define their years.
