“Pressure” Puts on the Pressure
Pressure is an unambiguously great movie, lead by convincing performances, a well-crafted script, good direction, and at least some social awareness.

Two childhood friends, Shan and Edgar, grew up together in a humble but gritty community. They consider each other as best friends and partners in crime. Their friendship seasoned by time was put into test when Shan’s dark secret slowly affects their lives. In the process of redeeming herself, will Shan save their friendship as well?

'The Invisible Man' triumphs in tension even as it drops the ball on genuine surprise for the audience.
For those tranquil houses with white fences, what is happening behind every closed door?
The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
