A man is visited by the ghosts of the dead in his dreams. What happens when the lines between dream and reality become blurred? A contemporary retelling of Hamlet where two narrations in different languages engage in a dialogue about desire and loss. Hand-painted and digital animation on Super 8mm film. Spanish with English subtitles.
Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.
‘Barbie’ is an entertaining, meaningful piece of filmmaking with a heartfelt message.
Swapped combines comedy, adventure and emotional growth while delivering one of the biggest plot twists in animation history.
Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
The more biting satire is reserved for those on top of the power structure, such as the police, while those occupying lower levels are given more nuance and likability, even if they operate on the wrong side of the law. This principle gives Deep Cover its heart.
The characters aren’t likable, the story is predictable and the humor is either disgusting, obnoxious, or uncomfortable. The Wrong Missy is a mess of a film and it’s not really worth your time.
