The Illegal

Written, directed, and produced by Danish Renzu, The Illegal starring Suraj Sharma is an underwhelming take on the other side of the Great American Dream. With the writing simply brushing up on immigrant struggles’ template structure, The Illegal becomes mere documentation rather than a heartfelt story with depth. One has to be so naively ignorant… Continue reading The Illegal

Godzilla vs. Kong

The fourth installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, Godzilla vs. Kong, is somewhat a mix of all that we have seen in the franchise so far. The scale of the battle and the grandeur definitely make it a grand theatre experience, and at the same time, the exhausting level of CGI fight that happens over a simplistic… Continue reading Godzilla vs. Kong

I Care a Lot

J Blakeson’s I Care a Lot is an exciting and engaging mix of script transitions. It’s like, whenever the content feels predictable, it uses the peppy pace to excite you. And when things slow down a bit, it starts to navigate into directions that you may not have expected the story to move. And ultimately,… Continue reading I Care a Lot

And watching the movie finally on the big screen indeed gave me the brain exercise I was anticipating.

The story is about the determination of someone who knew the uneven social landscape and made the “smart” choice at the right time. It might feel like problematic heroism, but eventually, The… Continue reading The White Tiger

At its core, the Midnight Sky, directed by George Clooney, has a very emotional tale to tell you. If we can consider a movie like Interstellar as a Father-Daughter relationship story, a similar layer of emotion drives this movie. But the film based on the book Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton can’t hold your… Continue reading The Midnight Sky

Sound of Metal

Darius Marder’s Sound of Metal is one movie that will give you that melancholic hangover. The character of Ruben Stone lingers on your mind. And that’s mostly because of the kind of raw empathy the filmmaker shows towards his central protagonist. The theme here is about accepting certain irrevocable realities and stay in the race… Continue reading Sound of Metal

Mank

Before you watch Mank, the new Netflix original movie directed by David Fincher, you must watch the film Citizen Kane. I saw Citizen Kane, which some people consider the greatest movie ever made, very recently. Despite being set in an era with technical limitations, Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane showed impeccable technical quality. Mank by David… Continue reading Mank
