Double World (2020) – Movie Review

Double World starts out rough, but ends up being an inoffensive fantasy blockbuster with a high production value.

A movie full of love and wonder, an appeal to kindness as a response to heartache, masterful work by Chloe Zhao and Frances McDormand.

There is no escaping that this film is difficult to watch, but the writing, the editing and the performances are truly nothing short of stunning.

An emotional rollercoaster of a movie, a cinematic gut punch, a movie that’s angry and dark and also funny. I can’t stop thinking about it.

A family romp with charm and fun to spare, Yes Day is very child-friendly without being dumb about it.

A tale of a family trying to find a home; a great film made of many small moments of love and heartbreak.

A string of cliched action scenes, devoid of any substance, that depends on characters making the very worst possible choices at any time.

A biting satire thriller that unleashes Rosamund Pike at her most sociopathic.

It is not quite the archetypical western, but one that uses the trappings of the genre to tell a story of found families.

Overwritten monologues and conflicts that ring hollow sink a movie that tried to be a sentimental one-act play.
