The beginning of Karim Ouelhaj’s Megalomaniac, an aggressively pornographic story about mental illness, places us in the infernal setting of the film’s domestic environment where “The Butcher of Mons” (Olivier Picard) a monstrous figure resides. As his wife screams in pain (or perhaps pleasure, it is that kind of movie), he presides over the birth …
It happened: I watched my uniquely American childhood vividly and embarrassingly depicted on screen. Kyle Mooney’s Y2K brings us back to the last day of December 1999 when playlists were burned onto CD-Rs and pornographic images downloaded a few pixels per minute. The millennials know that it was all for nothing, but Mooney pictures a …
Samara Weaving is the one having a face for a silent film. Her large, expressive eyes and mouth may sometimes be enough to fill pages and pages of dialogue which makes her the perfect casting for Azrael. By E.L.

It made sense when Hayao Miyazaki announced his retirement after The Wind Rises in 2013. Animation takes a long time, The Studio Ghibil co-founder was no longer getting any younger, and an innovative film about the life of Jiro Horikoshi as the last movie could have been seen as a fitting end to Miyazaki’s career …
For six years now, Kenneth Branagh has directed Hercule Poirot movies. At this point, his star-studded Agatha Christie adaptations feel more like passion projects than his own pseudo-biopic – the lukewarm Troubles-set drama Belfast – did, and his third entry in the mystery series is no exception.

Dumb Money has a lot of explaining to do. This comedy, like The Big Short about the housing bubble in the 2000s, should take time and explain exactly what happened when eight million Redditors decided to send the stock for a dying “brick and mortar” company “to the moon,” but in a way that would …
Alexander Payne has been making tepid dramas for around 20 years now, but his latest – set in a snooty New England boarding school in the year of our Lord 1970 – plays as an instant coming-of-age classic.
