Motu Patlu the Superheroes – Super Villains from Mars (2019)

The Olivia Wilde renaissance is upon us.

An action-packed adrenaline rush with a diverse cast that delivers evocative storytelling.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

With the start of the new season we're excited for all of the April new movie releases, some of which our writers here will cover in individual reviews throughout the month.

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.

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