Black Angels 

How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

The trouble with Yara (2021) is that in its attempt to tell the whole story, it struggles to tell a consistently engaging story.

With the theme of unemployment, it presents a family fantasy anecdote rather the a comment on social problems.

The story continues in 'Tall Girl 2' as Jodi finds herself playing the lead role in the school's musical production.

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
