Smile 2 movie review: Smile sequel follows familiar beats
October 18, 2024 17:54 IST
Smile 2 movie review: The trick to a horror story is to know when to hide your hand and when to show it – not showing the same hand, again and again.

The Wild Robot movie review: A heartfelt, gorgeously animated film
October 18, 2024 09:01 IST
The Wild Robot movie review: Based on author Peter Brown’s book – which is why the movie seems as complete as it does, rather than thought hastily on a storyboard – The Wild Robot uses a hand-painted animation technique, part classic Disney, part Hayao Miyazaki.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story review: A moving, well-made documentary
October 11, 2024 16:54 IST
Christopher Reeve says that the biggest transition the accident brought about in his life, earlier full of constant activity, was the change from being “participant to observer”. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story manages largely to be both.

White Bird movie review: Kindness takes a much deeper, historical meaning in this Helen Mirren film
October 02, 2024 18:25 IST
White Bird movie review: In this film based on RJ Palacio's book White Bird: A Wonder Story, which is sort of connected to the Wonder storyline, kindness takes a much deeper, historical meaning.

Joker Folie a Deux movie review: Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix star in a more mature, less desperate Gotham sequel
October 02, 2024 15:14 IST
Joker Folie a Deux movie review: Joaquin Phoenix is doing more of what he did last time, and the proficient actor knows how to do this kind of crazy well. However, if Joker 2 has any of the tenuous, arresting vitality of the Batman films, it is courtesy Gaga.

Wolfs: An unapologetic vanity project for Brad Pitt, George Clooney
September 27, 2024 18:00 IST
The reason you may not ask more of Wolfs, as it springs flimsy twists after twists into a stretched plot, is because you have George Clooney and Brad Pitt to look at. They don’t even have any names to distract us as they invoke a very Newman-Redford vibe.

Never Let Go movie review: Halle Berry film can’t decide whether to keep evil real, or the real evil
September 20, 2024 17:58 IST
Never Let Go movie review: This latest film by Alexandre Aja starring Halle Berry is about never letting go – of any flimsy direction that the story can take us.

Transformers One movie review: A self-conscious origin tale
September 20, 2024 15:20 IST
Transformers One movie review: You might not miss the Michael Bay movies, but Cooley’s version — be it more comfy and quieter — is too self-conscious for a franchise that essentially services a toy brand.

Speak No Evil movie review: James McAvoy is the host from hell in this remake
September 13, 2024 17:30 IST
Speak No Evil review: Speak No Evil is less a terror of manners compared to it, and more a manner of terror that slides under your skin for how familiar it can seem.

Strange Darling movie review: An impressively crafted thriller
September 06, 2024 19:13 IST
Strange Darling is a film about a serial killer that hopes to surprise you at every twist of its turn.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie review: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder film lacks juice
September 06, 2024 17:17 IST
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie review: Michael Keaton slithers easily back into the skin of the role he made famous, even if Beetlejuice is now more silly than sinister.

Afraid movie review: This film needs an AI check
August 30, 2024 16:55 IST
Afraid movie review: Cautionary tales about AI have never had a better moment than now, when even industry leaders have warned of “human extinction”. Surely, handling one family should have been a nanosecond’s work for it

Blink twice movie review: Zoë Kravitz shows a sure and striking confidence in staging the thriller that is also her directorial debut.

Alien Romulus review: There is Kill, then Overkill
August 23, 2024 17:44 IST
Alien Romulus review: The film succumbs eventually to that commonest of crimes: where a bark will do, it bites; where teeth will do, it snarls; where one big monster is enough, it has thousands.

The Union: Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry deserve better than this Netflix release
August 17, 2024 12:06 IST
The Union is so generic that the villains are any country that has ever crossed paths with that exclusive club – that is, “Russia, Korea, China, Syria, Iran”.

Borderlands movie review: Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis can’t save this generic film
August 09, 2024 17:10 IST
Borderlands movie review: Eli Roth adaptation of a video game is just too generic, too familiar, too incapable of raising either laughs or emotions.

It Ends With Us movie review: Blake Lively is perpetually wistful in adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling book
August 09, 2024 10:38 IST
It Ends With Us movie review: Blake Lively's film is so concentrated on the romances and the sex that the subject of domestic abuse is never treated with any amount of complexity.

Mothers’ Instinct movie review: Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway pack enough switches to keep it interesting
August 02, 2024 20:30 IST
Mothers’ Instinct is almost too sun-bathed pastel and virginal vanilla to get the hands of its two women dirty. However, in their performances, Chastain and Hathaway pack enough switches to keep it interesting.

Trap movie review: Shyamalan the writer lets down Shyamalan the director, again
August 02, 2024 16:06 IST
Trap movie review: Trap is quite different from a Shyamalan – and many a serial killer – film, in revealing right at the beginning the killer. That is a good thing in the case of Shyamalan, whose films have lately seemed like a bag of unwieldy, overstuffed tricks.

Deadpool and Wolverine movie review: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman bring nothing-to-lose swagger, good laughs in low stakes film
July 26, 2024 08:19 IST
Deadpool and Wolverine movie review: Deadpool and Wolverine doesn’t want to be taken seriously, but it puts all its money, muscle and, because it's Deadpool, into ensuring that you damn well do.

Alice Munro, her silence and oursSubscriber Only
July 21, 2024 07:15 IST
Women aren’t supposed to make that choice, especially mothers. But Munro’s women have told us all along to look, look beyond. Her women were never perfect moms, wives, daughters, or girlfriends, just people carrying on the best they knew how, with what little they had.

Treasure movie review: Lena Dunham inhabits the intersection between private grief, public sorrow
July 19, 2024 19:21 IST
Treasure movie review: This Lena Dunham film is either trying too hard to show how horror of this kind can alter one’s world forever, or not trying hard enough -- in an inexplicable amount of unsubtitled Polish.

Twisters movie review: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell ride into the eye of the storm for no coherent reason
July 18, 2024 17:44 IST
Twisters movie review: While Glen Powell’s unruffled charisma survives this wrecker, the talented Daisy Edgar-Jones is too placid for the gathering storm hinted at in their relationship.

Longlegs movie review: Maika Monroe film fails to impress
July 12, 2024 20:59 IST
Longlegs movie review: Oz Perkins, also the screenwriter, happens to be the son of Anthony Perkins, he of Psycho fame. And this film, even as it hints at the ties that bind families in love and other things, never leans on it.
