Allie languishes in her domestic life with a husband and two kids. She fantasizes about the exotic lifestyle of classmate turned influencer, Autumn. The two come face-to-face at their twenty-year reunion. Both Allie and Autumn grapple with their definitions of success.
The most divisive character in Multiverse of Madness is undoubtedly Wanda Maximoff. Is she good or evil? Is she "unlikeable?" I'm tired of the debate. I love Wanda because she's for us—she's for the women.
Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.
The definition of the word foul is “offensive to the senses,” which is a pretty good summation of the new Disney+ film, Artemis Fowl
Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.
The original series is now on Netflix, you should definitely give it a watch. And if you’ve already seen it, watch it again.
