Aditya Modak in The Disciple

The Disciple (2021) – Movie Review

It was hard for me to engage with the specific in The Disciple, but the general is filled with universal emotions.

Denzel Washington in The Tragedy of Macbeth

The Tragedy of Macbeth (2022) – Movie Review

The Tragedy of Macbeth is so much my jam that if I didn’t know better I’d think it was made just for me. This is an endorsement as much as it is a warning, because it could very well be that everything that I like about this project is what puts you off.

Anton Weil and Vasilis Magouliotis in The Man with the Answers

Kai Luke Brummer in Moffie

Moffie (2021) – Movie Review

A harrowing denunciation of homophobia and violence in the army, too impersonal to fully land.

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem in Being the Ricardos

Being the Ricardos (2021) – Movie Review

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix Resurrections (2021) – Movie Review

for a blockbuster that could have been exploitative, or a cashgrab, or dull, Lana Wachowski made one that turned out to be, of all things, interesting, full of questions and choices that I am still mulling over in my head.

Filippo Scotti in The Hand of God

The Hand of God (2021) – Movie Review

A coming of age summer in 1980s Naples, which works better as a slice of life comedy than as a drama.

Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch in Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) – Movie Review

While not free from Marvel burdens like muddy CGI or setups for other films, No Way Home is everything I wanted it to be and does justice to the Spider-Man films that came before it.

Kotone Furukawa and Ayumu Nakajima in Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy

Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (Guzen to Sozo) (2021) – Movie Review

I was absorbed by each of these three languid, dialogue-driven stories of romance and regret.
