Poor Things | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★★★ Poor Things Any notion that a more mainstream following, in a post-Favourite world, might have impacted a dampening of spirit upon the vision of Yorgos Lanithimos are quickly quashed by his latest feature. Indeed, Poor Things is a stunningly depraved endeavour. It is a film that renders the quirks of Queen Anne quite tame. Take the plot. Emma Stone plays a woman resurrected from suicide,…

Mean Girls | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★ Mean Girls Two decades of narrative reclamation haven’t been kind to Mean Girls. That’s not to withdraw the film’s status as the noughties’ seminal behemoth. The film remains the most instantly quotable of the twenty-first century to date. It’s fetch. And yet, as astute as Mean Girls was in its acerbic assessment of clique culture, the aging process has exposed through lines of misogyny,…

Anyone But You | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★ Anyone But You Charisma overpowers codswallop in Will Gluck’s Anyone But You, an immensely watchable, if throughly convoluted, bard-stardisation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. It’s a loose take on the sixteenth-century romcom, true, but no more so than were She’s the Man or 10 Things I Hate About You. Boy meets girl. Boy has massive misunderstanding with girl. Boy hates girl…and so…

The Holdovers | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★★ The Holdovers There’s a scene in The Holdovers in which Paul Giamatti’s cantankerous classics teacher, Mr. Hunham, hobbles out on Christmas morning to buy a tree. It’s a last minute plug to reintroduce festivity unto the emptied out halls of his workplace, the Barton Academy boarding school. Such proves a melancholy sight. A shonky spruce, sparsely decorated, and tilting tiredly to the…

The Boy and the Heron | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★★ The Boy and the Heron Never one to retire gracefully – and he’s got previous – Hayao Miyazaki’s latest swan song is a delectably well prickled endeavour, as rich in plot as visual flair. It’s a fantastical tale, for all the grounding themes of grief, loss and loneliness. An expansive world illuminates Miyazaki’s dazzling vistas, untethered perimeters and boundless imagination expanding…

All of Us Strangers | Reviewnexusbout.com

★★★★★ All of Us Strangers The Sun seems perpetually ready to set in and upon All of Us Strangers, an achingly personal new romance by Lean on Pete director Andrew Haigh. It’s befitting of a film that enjoys that very Shakespearean notion of a tale told entirely in the twilight hours. Certainly, there’s something implicitly theatrical about the premise, which dances, at times, on the peripheral…
