The first episode with the series' Julia Pennyworth. Casting Christina Wolfe was a classic whitewashing drama because in the comics she's the dark-skinned daughter of Batman's butler Alfred and Mademoiselle Marie (but only since 2014). Originally, everyone was white, and Julia started as Julia Remarque, whose…

A film that offers some impressive moments, but as a whole it mostly skims the surface. It deals with a few key themes, but it is mostly too thesis-like and one-dimensional. A raging America where we get no introduction and a miserable, rushed conclusion. Jesse Plemons steals for himself what is undoubtedly the film's…

It’s too colourful, too CGI-laden, and Jennifer Lopez runs around with her big ass at the beginning and admits in one of the dialogues that she has wrinkles and covers her grey hair because nobody gets younger, and for that she gets my nod because her Botox colleagues in the industry probably see it differently. You…

The 61st Disney feature film is a modern blend of classic adventure stories from the Earth's core. The family dynamics are reminiscent of Indiana Jones, but one can practically recall anything from Verne's works to Narnia or Pellucidar. In the context of Disney films, the theme continues from Atlantis: The Lost Empire…

An extraordinarily gentle, quiet and slow film with a pure melancholic soul. It starts out as a profile of overpopulated, rain-soaked Mumbai with a look into the lives of two friends living there and later shifts to a calmer, quieter place. As the debut fictional film of an experienced documentary filmmaker, All We…

“It’s very easy to end up alone.” Even banalities can be touching if they’re delivered with feeling. Beginners, an Freudian interior tragicomedy, seems fresh despite not offering anything radically new in terms of form or content. The fragmentation of the cyclical narrative, depicting life experience in the post…

A pleasant setting with nice, affluent people who deal with existential issues and talk about ordinary things, behind which something more complicated is concealed. The beginning is very Rohmer-esque, and the film becomes more sorrowful from there. No frantic action is set off by the inherited property. For laymen, it…

The guys, of whom the most frequently mentioned is eighty years old, recall how in the 1960s they weren’t being bold when they showed more swinging breasts and exposed brain matter than was usual in American cinema. The cards are laid on the table from the beginning: yes, we made terrible crap, but it was fun and we…

The Ukrainian-born enfant terrible Eugene Deslaw, who collaborated with Czech avant-gardists (especially Zet Molas), added a funny commentary to Gaumont’s old slapstick, resulting in greater absurdity than even Monty Python could have come up with when they were at the top of their game.

The feline adventurer in high boots got an opportunity to enhance his portfolio with his own feature-length film. Given his performance, there is a good chance that he will get more offers. These ninety minutes don’t abound with plot, the narrative would need bolder villains and more clearly defined objectives (the…
