‘molly’s game’ review this 2017 film by Aaron Sorkin is quite simply, a masterpiece.
molly’s game is a wonderful, intellectual thriller that everyone should go out to see. molly’s game tells the story of a woman and how she finds her way in the world, the characters in this thriller are multidimensional and REAL. Jessica Chastain’s performance as molly is transcendent.
this film will keep you emotionally invested and on the edge of your seat; it is a must watch!
'i,tonya' review this 2017 film by Craig Gillespie is an emotional, enthralling retelling of the infamous Tonya Harding story
i, tonya is a witty, cinematic film. the film looks at the varying and interesting perspectives of this infamous story. the characters are developed seamlessly and everything about them has substance. the film is quite frankly, beautiful. it combines classic wes anderson-esque framing techniques, to create a dynamic and fun watching experience. Margot Robbie, in my opinion, is a stand out in this film as she takes on the character of Harding herself. Margot, is fantastic at portraying the emotional hardship that Harding faced throughout her life.
a simply fantastic film, deserving of its oscar nods.
'the life aquatic with steve zissou' review The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou by Wes Anderson is a heart-warming but generic film. This 2004 film is quintessential Wes Anderson, with its quirky storyline, beautiful cinematography and interesting characters, it possesses all the hallmarks of an Anderson. But I would advise lovers of other works in Wes’ repertoire to not watch this film. The Life Aquatic is tiresome and Wes gives no break to the viewer; we are constantly hit over the head with his signature style. In other of Wes’ films this enhances the film but his need to adhere to this ‘quirky’ and off-kilter’ style causes the film to fall flat, in terms of plot and character development. film, is quite obviously, Anderson; containing characters and actors, he uses over and over as well as somewhat overdone themes he explores. Despite this, if one has not seen other films by Anderson The Life Aquatic is bound to be an entertaining watch. Overall, this film is Wes Anderson in all his glory but falls flat with its linear storyline. If one is looking for a visually beautiful but a somewhat generic Anderson storyline, this is the perfect fit.
'black panther' this 2018 film is an action-packed but nonetheless important
this is a fantastic film. it is not just a superhero film, but is so much more. it was amazing to finally see Africa represented as beautiful and power continent that it is. in the media we lack representation of people of colour. this film is bringing in a new generation of media, that will hopefully, finally give people of colour and women the representation they deserve.
besides that, 'black panther' is jam-packed with action and a hugely compelling storyline. definitely dag approved.
