January 31, 2020 15:59 IST
Parasite movie review: Bong Joon-Ho, who has also co-written the story, has several surprises and twists up his sleeve. And many metaphors.

Jojo Rabbit review: An audacious satire
January 31, 2020 14:57 IST
Jojo Rabbit review: Jojo Rabbit, of course, is about the gradual friendship between Elsa and Jojo. But it is how Taika Waititi tackles this, mocking the narratives we build about people (any people) different (any different) from us, that makes this special.

Why 8-year-old Sageer Ahmad’s death should make us rethink our fractured world orderSubscriber Only
January 27, 2020 00:55 IST
Surely, even as seemingly yawning divides and hopelessness surround us, it’s this that we must hold onto: That, when a mob, holding colour of whatever flag, comes down a street, a door would open to take them in. That, those who shelter would always outnumber those who attack.

Dolittle movie review: A monumental mess
January 17, 2020 19:45 IST
Dolittle movie review: Dolittle has barely any plot, with its animals setting off sporadic sparks when left to own. And that is rare as Downey Jr's Dolittle mostly has them at his command.

January 17, 2020 19:31 IST

1917 movie review: Sam Mendes’ film is worth a watch
January 17, 2020 18:34 IST
1917 movie review: In line with recent films on war, 1917 is not celebration of valour or glory, neither is it shy in its portrayal of the grime of it.

Like a Boss movie review: An unimaginative reimagining of women and their friendships
January 10, 2020 15:14 IST
Despite the talent of Rose Byrne, Tiffany Haddish and Salma Hayek, each of whom hardly needs any embellishing, this film runs like watery mascara even if no one's really does through the ups and downs and ups again.

Richard Jewell movie review: Hero in the Villain
January 03, 2020 18:22 IST
Richard Jewell movie review: It is the kind of hero Clint Eastwood's films are made of: a quintessential ordinary American fellow, who loves his guns plus other 'traditional' values, who is driven by his sense of duty, and who is mistreated by the system.

Cats movie review: A musical devoid of any real zing and fun
January 03, 2020 17:38 IST
It's only Taylor Swift, descending perched on a crescent moon, sprinkling sparkling catnip powder, who looks like the cat that got the cream. There is really no other kind you want to watch.

Bombshell movie review: Thoroughly engrossing
January 03, 2020 09:55 IST
Bombshell movie review: Where Bombshell scores is in bringing out the casual sexism that dogs women in the workforce, from offhand compliments to insistence on shaved legs —take your pick from all in the middle.

Spies in Disguise movie review: A run-of-the-mill animation film
December 27, 2019 15:02 IST
Spies in Disguise movie review: Even as you despair that this Will Smith and Tom Holland starrer will end up being yet another clash between the forces of good and evil -- do we really need them in animation too? -- and the power of teamwork and friendship, writer Brad Copeland and directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane subvert the genre.

Somewhere up above temples touching skySubscriber Only
December 22, 2019 04:20 IST
The Rajasthan girl is forgotten, a mere statistic in our rape record, with only those now registering whose details are more horrific than the others. As told by the courts, she is cloaked in silence — stripped off all details of life, but for that act

Jumanji The Next Level review: Mildly funny
December 12, 2019 22:33 IST
Jumanji The Next Level movie review: What one keeps wishing is that the film had stuck around for longer in the real world, where DeVito and Glover play two old and ageing men with a history that involves real pain.

Marriage Story movie review: A deeply affecting drama
December 06, 2019 19:06 IST
Marriage Story movie review: Scarlett Johansson is vulnerable and strong, confident and unsure, generous and stern, all at the same time, as giving to tears as spontaneous action, her unforgettable lips a picture of masterful quiver.

The Good Liar movie review: Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen shine in Bill Condon film
November 29, 2019 18:01 IST
With Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen playing the parts, could the plot of this film based on a novel by the same name get more delicious?

The Irishman movie review: An intimate, tender look at the Mob and its men
November 28, 2019 00:10 IST
The Irishman movie review: This is not a film about growing up but growing old, about what all those years of living entail -- the choices, the betrayals, the loneliness, the love, the pain as well as the aches.

Hotel Mumbai movie review: A chilling film
November 27, 2019 07:32 IST
There is no attempt to relieve the tension, no little side stories to humour its audience, and almost no strained sentimentality. However, that both serves this deeply chilling script well -- more chilling for it being real -- and takes away from it.

Pagalpanti movie review: This Anees Bazmee film is a mess
November 22, 2019 15:17 IST
Pagalpanti movie review: Some good actors have lent their names to this mess, for what can’t be any other reason than money and the hits somehow against Anees Bazmee’s name.

21 Bridges movie review: An all-too-familiar crime thriller
November 22, 2019 13:08 IST
21 Bridges movie review: Several good actors, and charismatic ones like Chadwick Boseman and Sienna Miller, are wasted in this by-the-book crime thriller that seems even more ridiculous as it builds up to its climax.

Frozen 2 review: Dazzling drag
November 20, 2019 08:01 IST
Frozen 2 movie review: The Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee directorial veers off to a confusing side story, which it clearly believes is heading to a big reveal.

Motherless Brooklyn movie review: Watch it for the impressive cast
November 15, 2019 18:39 IST
Motherless Brooklyn movie review: Edward Norton has an impressive cast that turns up even for bit roles, including Willis, while Norton himself is in superlative, if indulgent, form as the man who has been seeking answers all his life -- encumbered by his own mind, which he once dubs an "anarchist".

Charlie’s Angels movie review: A light, breezy outing
November 15, 2019 13:40 IST
Charlie’s Angels movie review: This time, Charlie’s three Angels are as different as they come, and mostly muscular and lithe.

Motichoor Chaknachoor movie review: Astonishingly regressive
November 14, 2019 22:18 IST
Motichoor Chaknachoor movie review: While it’s clear from the start that this 1 and 1 will eventually equal 2, the film goes out of its way to underline how mismatched the two are, in all department.
