FF+ The Marvels

Not so sure about going higher and further, but at slightly over 90 minutes, at least THE MARVELS goes faster! Iman Vellani and Goose are the stars here, but an undercooked main plot and maybe the worst villain the MCU has had yet sink this thrown together mixed bag despite it being a refreshingly diverse female-led superhero flick.

FF+ Origin/Next Goal Wins (TIFF Reviews)

Two vastly different films are covered in this TIFF review episode – Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of a New York Times bestseller is a sweeping, educational, and at times tragic, exploration of caste and Taika Waititi’s latest comedy is a generic but crowd-pleasing underdog sports story with a surprisingly uplifting element of inclusion.

FF+ Priscilla

Coppola’s exquisite filmmaking style and intimate approach to this rather uneasy and abusive romance shows us the non-tabloid side of the iconic pairing’s relationship. From the very start it feels like a romantic horror, such a unique and unsettling experience. Showing Priscilla’s all too relatable story from a female perspective can be very meaningful, even for those not in a relationship with a mega-famous wealthy superstar.

FF+ Five Nights at Freddy’s

It’s made for the fans. If you’re one of them, you’ll probably enjoy the nostalgic experience of seeing a beloved franchise in film form, regardless of the tonal imbalance and general ridiculousness of it all. If you’re just coming for a good little slasher-style horror flick, you’re probably gonna be very annoyed that it’s not scary or bloody at all and leave sorely disappointed.

FF+ Killers of the Flower Moon

Martin Scorsese’s impressive adaptation of Grann’s non-fiction account feels very much in line with the director’s family crime stories of the past while highlighting an insidious historical injustice that encourages reflection. A+ acting work from Lily, Leo, and Bob carry this complex character drama and Prieto’s photography is mesmerizing. The length and patient pacing will be a challenge for some and it’s a shame that the Osage characters weren’t established a little more deeply, but despite some nit picks this is still upper tier work from the legendary director.

FF+ Special Ops: Lioness

A captivating take from creator Taylor Sheridan on female strength in military special ops and espionage that treads lightly into melodrama while keeping its focus mostly on the high-stakes mission at hand. It’s well-paced with great use of tactics when action is required, but the depth of character building and ideological dilemmas it presents make it special.

FF+ The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial

William Friedkin always loved the gray area and characters who couldn’t be defined in just one simple way, and here he masterfully explores that through a trial that forces us to consider mental illness (and specifically how that is defined), ego, and leadership experience as they relate to a major conflict in decision-making between Naval Officers that has resulted on one of them being accused of mutiny. Riveting, fantastic work here all-around, and a perfect companion piece to my beloved THE CAINE MUTINY (1954).

FF+ The Exorcist: Believer

There is no need at all for this film to connect directly back to the original and how it chooses to do so is a complete waste of time (and Ellen Burstyn’s talent). But David Gordon Green does a great job of capturing parental fear and the unique angle of dual possessions in girls with parents from different beliefs systems makes this a fresh, intriguing story all the way to its scary and thought-provoking ending. Conceptually better than it is deep, but still very entertaining.

FF+ She Came to Me

This is the story of a composer who is creatively reinvigorated after a romantic encounter with an eccentric tug boat captain, and if that’s all it was it might have a chance at being decent enough. But a very serious pivot in central focus midway through creates a strange mishmash of ideas that never works, and some decisions about how to present certain relationship dynamics are extremely troublesome.

FF+ The Creator

Visually stunning with plenty of explosive action and an intriguing premise centered on humans seeking revenge for an A.I. nuclear attack, but unfortunately lacking in exploration of its bigger ideas, largely a reskin of STAR WARS, and only somewhat effective emotionally. Could have been, and should have been, so much more.
