Check out the full list below:

The Substance

The concept itself of The Substance is a winner – a fading starlet obtaining a drug from the black market that would temporarily create a younger, better version of herself. And the same conflict is in a lead-up to a chain of events wherein she is fired on her 50th Birthday on the pre-text that she is too old to host an aerobics show that is nothing short of sleaze and erotica on television… Read More…

Challengers

Challengers follows the story of Tashi who takes it upon herself by enrolling her husband Art(a former Grand Slam Champion) for a low pro Challengers tournament, to end his losing streak and allow him to gain confidence. But oblivious to the couple, Art comes face to face with Zweig, his former best friend and Tashi’s Ex Flame… Read More…

His Three Daughters

The premise of His Three Daughters is quite claustrophobic. And much of the same has got to do with the tiny apartment that houses the three sisters who find themselves together for the first time while having to take turns for taking care of their ailing father. So, the setup of the house is a silent but important character in the overall scheme of things, also because it is Rachel who would be acquiring the property after her father’s death… Read More…

Dune Part 2

Based on a novel, Dune : Part Two picks up from the same point where the first part had ended and it follows the story of Paul who unites with Chani and the Fremen while on the path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family… Read More…

Sing Sing

In a very specific scene in the second act of Sing Sing (maximum security prison based in New York), you see a set of inmates undergoing a Rehabilitation Through Arts program wherein all of them come together to perform a play, and in the process trigger a process of healing from within. There, the task given to each of them as a part of the ‘acting process’ is to imagine and relive some of the happy memories that each one of them have been through… Read More…

The Apprentice

The gaze with which I approached The Apprentice was a searing character study of a complex individual. But in reality, there were two character arcs in progress, both of similar trajectory but almost a mirror image of each other. The first arc was essentially of Donald Trump from being a timid persona to a brutal monster, the second arc was of Ron, his attorney, from being in a manipulative position of power to that of a suffering individual with a rather late sense of realisation… Read More…

Anora

The one aspect of the screenplay that was easier to grasp for the viewers was the prevalent humour in the proceedings. Both Ivan and Ani share a sizzling chemistry that involves a lot of s*x in the most frivolous manner possible. In a scene wherein they are in the middle of their steamy deed, you see Ivan moaning, ‘God Save America’ in the most hilarious manner… Read More…

Conclave

Based on a novel, Conclave is a searing examination of the prevalent politics that transpires behind the doors of the Sistine Chapel, in terms of materialistic politics that transpires through the candidates. Here, each candidate brings along his own set of beliefs that are starting points for a discussion to transpire – Bellini is a liberal in the vein of the late Pope, Tremblay is a mainstream conservative, Tedesco is more traditional and marginal with his thoughts and Adeyami is socially conservative with his views… Read More…

A Real Pain

The premise of the film A Real Pain is simple – it is a buddy-drama following two cousin brothers who decide to visit Poland on a Holocaust trail after the death of their Jewish grandmother who was a survivor of the genocide. But in the midst of it, there are layers to the drama that slowly begin to peel off along the way. When you are acquainted to Benji, you see this effervescent version of himself, almost being in over-compensation mode as far as his energies are concerned…. Read More…

Juror #2

The premise of Juror #2 is simple – it focuses on the life of Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult), a journalist recovering from alcoholism who is assigned to be a juror in a year old case of homicide. This until he realises that he may well have a stake in the case which in turn results in a moral dilemma – one that could sway the judgment of either convicting the accused or freeing him for life… Read More…
