Célia, a mother in her thirties, finds herself suffocated by the daily demands of full-time parenting with a young son she can’t bring herself to stop breastfeeding, a fading marriage with her clueless yet devoted husband Bastien, and the grief of her father's recent death. Her fragile routine is upended when she meets Jérémy, a fellow parent who ignites her passion for music and awakens long-dormant feelings. Written, directed by and starring real-life couple Célia Millat and Bastien Garcia, this charming and intimate feature debut captures a woman at a turning point, exploring the vertigo of motherhood, the return of desire, and the challenge of finding one’s balance.
Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame is a unique film coming from the same studio that brought us The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. While it does have its silly moments to maintain Disney’s family-friendliness, it also carries themes that stick to audiences years after its release.
'Bodies Bodies Bodies', the latest from indie powerhouse studio A24, is a great time. Full of dark comedy laughs, great performances, and genuine scares, it's a perfect addition to modern slasher classics.
Eternals is an interesting concept and unique visuals, but slow pacing and rushed character development suggests it should have been a mini-series.
Nick Rowland’s She Rides Shotgun is a blistering, blood-soaked road thriller that doubles as a bruised love story between a haunted ex-con (a career-best Taron Egerton) and the daughter he barely knows (astonishing newcomer Ana Sophia Heger). Fueled by white-knuckle chases, razor-tense shootouts, and quiet moments of aching tenderness, the film captures both the terror and fragile beauty of survival. It’s gritty, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—a father-daughter odyssey destined to leave audiences shaken.
Gretel & Hansel falters due to its razor thin story and lack of characterization. It loses sight of horror’s key rule: In order to create an effective tale, characters and emotions must be emphasized.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
