    ★★★½

    Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi are stars; bonafide, talented, attractive young actors that reflect the sensibilities of the new generation and augur well for the evolving visage of the art form.

    In a shocking turn of events after directing the current film nadir of the decade, 'Promising Young Woman,' Emerald Fennell returns with a very well-engineered, decisively un-feminist story of class dynamics and masculinity. Adding to the neo-genre of 'gently transgressive films in our puritanical era' like 'Babylon' and 'Beau…

    The Killer

    ★★½

    A desolate, nihilistic, fascistic tale of deracinated modern man in an increasingly soulless, consumerist, solipsistic world.

Greta Gerwig's grotesque bourgeois fantasy is fortunate to be released between the ferocious uniting force of Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible and the epic, cerebral, biographical Christopher Nolan drama, Oppenheimer. Gerwig's feeble hope rests in the…

    Make no mistake, this isn't just a 'biopic on Elvis Presley - The King of Rock 'n Roll'. This is an auteur's vision through and through; a categorical triumph of maximalist indulgence and sophisticated tragedy.

    Akin to a cinematic Aria, Luhrmann has crafted an extravagant, bombastic spectacle, forming one of the greatest biographical films of our era. The man himself, Elvis Presley, is an epochal scale of musical genius and metamorphosis; a crucible of Americana - culture and artistry. Luhrmann…
