April 18, 2025 18:51 IST
Sinners movie review: Michael B Jordan is effortless as the two men from whom we can't tear our eyes away, who are as many parts good, grieving men trying to do some good as cool-headed businessmen. He packs both charisma and raw strength here.

April 18, 2025 18:50 IST
Paddington in Peru review: Paddington in Peru does not have the charm or the wit or the plaintive appeal of the first two films on the bear, as conceived by Paul King, whose very essence was finding its feet and home in the big city.

April 10, 2025 16:05 IST
The Amateur movie review: In this film that has so much stuffed into a basic tale of revenge that it can barely give time to anything, everything is almost as wispy as vapour, not the smoke-and-mirrors look director James Hawes is going for.

The Brutalist movie review: The Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce-starrer prays at the altar of itselfSubscriber Only
February 28, 2025 18:19 IST
The Brutalist review: This A24 film has 10 Academy Award nominations, and is expected to bag more than a few come the big night. Its cinematography, sense of light and dark, the tactile sensation it conveys of the building materials, make it a delight, not letting its long length weigh it down.
