    Broker 2022

    Ella Kemp

    ★★★★½ Watched by Ella Kemp 26 May 2022

    Typically bittersweet from Kore-eda will another strange, tender family - but I found it much more complex here with questions of forgiveness and responsibility and choice, crucially the wrestle with a woman’s choice that never feels right, whatever you do. It takes a master to get that conflict right

    Definitely a lot weirder than several movies of this era due to the presence of Green. Still a little bit too much hackneyed plotting, bad jokes, and uniquely terrible needle drops to rise significantly above the typical stoner/college fare, however. Worth watching at least for director Bruce McCulloch's two-scene turn as a harried/incompetent lawyer, a comedy trope i literally cannot get enough of.

    Ricky Gervais may not be transphobic or homophobic I don't know him personally, none of us do. But to go up onto a stage and perform for a crowd some of the most unoriginal uncreative material I've ever seen pretending like you're breaking down boundaries by being a "provocative comedian" going against modern age wokeness is some of the most pathetically pretentious bullshit I've ever seen.


    Last year I walked past the London palladium on the way to the club…

    I think the main issue isn’t that the jokes are offensive and that “he is saying what can’t be said”. No, the main issue is that it is just extremely lazy and the entire joke is just “look at this person, aren’t their life choices stupid”

    It’s just embarrassing. It’s the equivalent of reading a northern dad’s facebook page and then cheering and calling him brave for reading it out on stage.

    Even his attempts at material that isn’t entirely…

    Multimillionaire whines about how he "can't say this anymore" whilst being paid to say that very thing on his second Netflix gig after the first was Netflix's biggest comedy special of all time. Repeating the same decades-old jokes and commenting about how they'll probably not be allowed to leave them in - all of which is left in.

    "i have no home, no homeland. there is no world for me".

    it's a work that has its value



    this film brings a metaphor that makes reference to materialism in japan, and follows the story of a boy who is disillusioned with the world around him and his life.

    the film follows this context, the dreams of this boy and his attempts to become someone, all this following the narrative line that his family lives satisfied even though they lead…

    ★★★★ Watched by Allan Arkush 24 May 2022

    Julien Duvivier is a very interesting Director Producer with a strong visual style. I seen several of his French films in the last couple of years and this is one of the best. Beautiful B&W tale of murder, & betrayal and it has Michele Simon so you can't go wrong.
