Playback: Yorgos Lanthimos, Disorder and Discomfort, from KINETTA to BUGONIA
Yorgos Lanthimos delights in discomfort. Lanthimos built a career on ritualized absurdity and moral distortion, spinning stories where love, control, and social order are pushed to the brink of the surreal. From Dogtooth's domestic isolation to Poor Things's sexually-charged, Frankensteinian...
BUGONIA Review: Timely, Wickedly Entertaining Abduction Thriller
Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons star in Yorogos Lantimos' remake of 'Save the Green Planet!'
Friday One Sheet: BUGONIA

EDDINGTON Review: Men Would Rather Destroy Themselves Than Go to Therapy
Eddington, the fourth feature from Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau is Afraid), moves away somewhat from horror and the uncanny we've come to expect in his films, into a combination of a western and crime thriller that focuses in a very fraught...

Friday One Sheet: EDDINGTON
Disturbing imagery is carrying much of the load for Ari Aster's latest film, a neo-western called Eddington. This grey-ish design from LA outfit, grandson, is a festival teaser poster for its upcoming Cannes bow. The black buffalo charging off a cliff (the odd...
POOR THINGS Review: Both Hideous Creation and Beautiful Monster, Ghastly and Glorious
Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo star in a new film by Yorgos Lanthimos.
Friday One Sheet: POOR THINGS
Welcome to the wonderful world of Vasilis Marmatakis, the Greek graphic designer and illustrator behind one of my favourite posters of the past decade, an earlier Yorgos Lanthimos film, The Killing of A Sacred Deer, with its immense verticality, and...
Review: CRUELLA Crushes the Competition

Review: THE CROODS: A NEW AGE, Prehistoric Family Delivers Adventure-Comedy Treats
Living through a seemingly never-ending pandemic and self-quarantining/sheltering-at-home (for some, if unfortunately, not most) puts a premium on escapist pleasures, like an animated Nicolas Cage-headlining a long-delayed sequel, The Croods: A New Age. The first film, a DreamWorks Animation family-oriented...
Review: THE FAVOURITE, Alternative, Off-Beat British Satire

Destroy All Monsters: Oscars Stay White As Long As Movies Like LA LA LAND Exist
Watching La La Land, for me, was accompanied by a sinking feeling, a pronounced "of course"-ness, a sensation halfway between grudging admiration and simple exhaustion at the obviousness of it all. Not the obviousness of La La Land itself -...
Review: LA LA LAND, a Captivating Treasure
La La Land is a series of dichotomies, existing as both a delightful flight of fancy and a broad relationship drama. It’s a film oozing with both nostalgia and contemporary energy, feeling both classic and of the moment in the...

Review: IRRATIONAL MAN, Not A Masterpiece; More Like A Blip
Let's make this perfectly clear : Woody Allen, director, is one of the most unique and prolific talents in the history of cinema. Every year we get a film on schedule, often a chatty and intellectually rich ensemble piece dealing...
