MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
You Don’t Say
Jameses Watkins and McAvoy team up for a totally respectable remake of Eurothriller Speak No Evil.
Don’t ‘Blink’
Zoë Kravitz's feminist thriller Blink Twice shouldn't be as much fun as it is.
Silent Torment
A Place Called Silence once again takes us to an anonymous SEA hellhole. I’m tired.
Totally Lost
Go find Soi Cheang’s Accident instead of risking a splitting headache with The Plot.
‘Crisis’ of Imagination
In part one of Herman Yau Summer 2024, Crisis Negotiators won’t make you forget the original, but it’s still better than part two.
Captain, My Captain
Italian diretor Matteo Garrone leaves the mean streets behind in favour of a plea for humanity in Io Capitano.
‘War’ Heroes
Alex Garland’s Civil War isn’t what you think it is and it’s not going to serve any of our biases.
‘Moon’ Shot
Ignore the trailer: The Moon Thi4v3s is a solid heist drama with a standout turn by Michael Ning.
Swim, Swim, Sink
Russell the Younger and debuting director Bryce McGuire almost pull off a perfect pool routine in Night Swim. Almost.
Vive la France?
Coup de Chance is a Woody Allen movie. I don’t think any other details are required.
Law & Disorder
Zhang Mo carries on the fast emerging trend of Macau as a dangerous, fictional SEA quasi-Chinese city in the bananas Last Suspect.
‘Flower’ Power
Exhibit A in why Martin Scorsese gets to dis Marvel: Killers of the Flower Moon.
