Inside Out was a film that felt like it catered to every segment of the audience. On the surface, it was that sweet story of a small girl’s emotions that would find a connection with the kids. But the way Pete Docter and his team had created a visual representation of the mental health of… Continue reading Inside Out 2 Review | A Brilliantly Written Film That Feels Like Low-Cost, High-Value Therapy

A Quiet Place: Day One Review | An Engrossing Thriller That Impresses You With Its Craft Choices
Usually, when you watch horror films, there is a tendency from a certain category of the audience to make sounds or comments in order to hide their inability to manage the tension. When I watched John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place back in 2018, I remember a fairly occupied theater maintaining a pin-drop silence. When it… Continue reading A Quiet Place: Day One Review | An Engrossing Thriller That Impresses You With Its Craft Choices
Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political
What is peculiar and impressive about Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise is its gaze that tries to interpret Ramayana differently. And he sort of uses his leading lady to achieve this, who advocates for the woman’s agency in a blunt yet polite way. The female gaze is backed by the current political scenario of Sri Lanka as… Continue reading Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Review | An Exhilarating Spin-off That Lives up to the Legacy of the Franchise
The signature thing about George Miller’s Mad Max franchise is the fact that he jumps into the situation without really spoon-feeding the audience. The energy is enormous, and the movies have that collection of exhilarating events. It is actually through the certain minute details that we see during those set pieces we sort of understand that world and its politics.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review | Franchise Extension Done Through Timely Reinvention
The first three films in the Planet of the Apes franchise had an approach where we would be curious to know how things would evolve in a world dominated by the apes. Even though it showed all the power politics within the tribe, there was a layer of spectacle that drove us toward those films. But in the fourth film, Kingdom… Continue reading Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review | Franchise Extension Done Through Timely Reinvention
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review | This One Has Middling Aspirations on a Bigger Canvas
The latest Monsterverse film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, is actually one film that feels a lot lighter in terms of the way it focuses on giving popcorn entertainment. The writing of the film has a lot of cliched tropes. But unlike the predecessors, which were way too dark and occasionally exhausting, this one… Continue reading Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review | This One Has Middling Aspirations on a Bigger Canvas
Kung Fu Panda 4 Review | A Passable Fun Watch Sequel With Glimpses of Franchise-Fatigue
It’s been almost eight years since the last Kung Fu Panda movie was released, and I have to admit that there was an equal amount of excitement and fear in my mind when I entered the cinema hall to watch the fourth instalment in the franchise, Kung Fu Panda 4. The excitement was obviously because… Continue reading Kung Fu Panda 4 Review | A Passable Fun Watch Sequel With Glimpses of Franchise-Fatigue
Poor Things Review | An Unconventional Genre Blend With a Fabulous Cast and Signature Craft
Poor Things, which won four Academy Awards this year, including Best Actress for Emma Stone, is quite a visual film that blends too many genres with imaginative and totally unconventional cinematic choices. From extremely wide lenses for visualizations to an unrealistic setting, Yorgos Lanthimos unsettles the viewer from the very first visual, and what you… Continue reading Poor Things Review | An Unconventional Genre Blend With a Fabulous Cast and Signature Craft
