“Tony” is Yet Another Good Biopic
The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.

In a day, late at night, Bonfim tries to finish an important task, but he is constantly interrupted by a weird and repetitive sound that apparently just he can hear. While the reality around him starts to unfold in bizarre and non-sense events, Bonfim walks through his appartment in a surreal journey moved by tiredness, mental confusion and the search for a simple cup of coffee.

Mark Anthony Green was unable to connect all of the pieces in his debut feature film, leaving Opus as a middling entry in an already oversaturated genre.
“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
