Another unusual love story from Kim Nguyen. BEFORE SUNRISE with hexapods and intercontinental rescue.

Majestically shot. Experimentally told. Within eight minutes, three different time periods unfold. And that grows. Inane sadism. Incompetently shot horror flick. Nondescript bikers are hunted by nondescript bikers. A muddled philosophical legal procedural investigating culpability. Acting heavyweights enliven. Out to own today: A Ghost Story
New World
THE CROWN [season two] ★★★★★ The psychological, the historical and the political. This is shaping up to be one of the greatest television shows of all time. To the creative team, please don't drop the ball.   DARK [season one] ★★★★☆ Netflix's first German series. A cross between BACK TO THE FUTURE and DONNIE DARKO. It sidesteps nostalgia in favour of ambition and elaborate storytelling.   THE SQUARE ★★★★½ D: Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure, Play, Involuntary). S: Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West, Terry Notary, Christopher Læssø. Looking at director Ruben Östlund’s last four films, each improves on the previous. Here he examines class, creativity and pretentiousness with a watch-through-your-fingers, excruciating, unsettling wit.   |
