Conclave movie review: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci’s papal election thriller never questions faith
February 07, 2025 18:10 IST
Conclave movie review: Ralph Fiennes himself is not an actor given to frivolity, and in his hands, Lawrence is a picture of a man burdened by duty, in the service of none other than God.

Hours at office, a lifetime of staringSubscriber Only
February 02, 2025 08:00 IST
As per those unfortunate choice of words by Larsen & Toubro Ltd Chairman and Managing Director S N Subrahmanyan (in an internal chat with employees, to be fair), giving office just this much time a week should leave husbands and wives more time to “stare at each other” on off days.

Companion movie review: Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid film goes around in circles
January 31, 2025 18:25 IST

January 24, 2025 20:55 IST
The Seed of the Sacred Fig movie review: The Seed of The Sacred Fig is an astounding film based on the protests that swept Iran over hijab following the death of a protester in 2022.

Flight Risk movie review: Mel Gibson directorial is a ticking-the-boxes thriller
January 24, 2025 15:48 IST
Flight Risk movie review: Michelle Dockery is much too regal to let this come in her way. But given the thin ground that controversy-prone Gibson is on, he could have avoided this.

A Real Pain movie review: Kieran Culkin is marvellous in Jesse Eisenberg film
January 17, 2025 17:08 IST
A Real Pain review: Wrapping the film in a sprightly 90 minutes, bringing a deft, light touch to one of history’s greatest tragedies, and giving us people who connect, Jesse Eisenberg has a winner.

Den of Thieves 2 Pantera movie review: The Gerard Butler-starrer delivers the goods
January 10, 2025 17:55 IST
Den of Thieves 2 Pantera movie review: Writer-director Christian Gudegast keeps it simple, low-key and thrumming in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.

Nosferatu movie review: A stunning, faithful remake
January 10, 2025 17:36 IST
Nosferatu movie review: The cinematography is brilliant, the production design of top quality, the clouded, moon-lit skylines expressive, and this film’s colours smartly used to recreate the light-and-dark effect of the black and white original.

January 03, 2025 17:05 IST

She Said: Why pleas to have more kids ring hollowSubscriber Only
December 22, 2024 07:30 IST
Mr Mohan Bhagwat, don’t couch the reluctance to have children as “extreme individualism” among people, not caring much for God or the country. And Mr Chandrababu Naidu, don’t pass on the burden of demographics to us. It takes a village to raise a child. First, set up at least one where a child would want to stay.

Vanvaas movie review: The Nana Patekar-starrer is a plodding affair
December 20, 2024 17:26 IST
Vanvaas movie review: In parts, Anil Sharma suggests he is capable of a more thoughtful film, and of imagining a world with greys and not just blacks and whites.

The Lord of the Rings The War of the Rohirrim movie review: A pretty solid effort
December 13, 2024 17:51 IST
Having established itself as a deserving inhabitant of the Rings universe – the jerks of combining anime with frenetic action apart – The War of the Rohirrim does manage to overstay its welcome. At 134 minutes, it is a little too long, and a little too caught up towards the end in its own heroine.

Heretic movie review: Hugh Grant elevates A24 horror film
December 13, 2024 17:04 IST
Heretic review: Because Heretic itself ultimately doesn’t have enough faith to follow through on its initial promise, it all comes down to that question again: the charm of God, or the charm of Grant?

Moana 2 movie review: The Moana sequel goes adrift
November 29, 2024 14:14 IST
Moana 2 movie review: Moana 2 is as new as it gets these days – that is, not very new – in the era of sequels, prequels and multiverse-quels.

November 22, 2024 17:14 IST
Christmas Eve in Miller's Point movie review: Directed and co-written by Taormina, Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point is a Wes Anderson-like dip into the chaos and extreme ordinariness of a family on the big evening of Christmas.

Wicked movie review: This Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande musical tests your patience
November 22, 2024 16:50 IST
Wicked movie review: To give Cynthia Erivo her due, and to a lesser extent Ariana Grande, the two are the better parts of Wicked. It is tempting to think what a film centred on just the two of them would do, as the greens and pinks mixed to create unexpected hues.

Gladiator II movie review: Paul Mescal film is no Gladiator
November 15, 2024 11:28 IST
Gladiator II movie review: If Russell Crowe-starrer was about palace intrigues, complex relationships and unseen dangers, the second dispenses with most of the politics, and adds more fights, a lot of animals, and has far little for its women to do.

Give me a real woman-centric filmSubscriber Only
October 27, 2024 02:47 IST
Give me the wrinkled Gisele Pelicot, felling her mass rapists in a French court, demolishing the silence around sexual abuse, by saying simply: “Shame must change sides.” So must heroism.

Venom The Last Dance movie review: Tom Hardy’s Venom bows out in style
October 24, 2024 21:01 IST
