This is a visually striking film that struggles to balance its artistic vision with the weight of its subject matter. The result is an adaptation that leaves the viewer wishing for a more grounded and sincere portrayal of its poignant themes.

Deadpool & Wolverine
(2024)
|
Linda Marric

A masterclass in meta-humor, charisma and cameo-chaos, this is a riotous, self-aware spectacle that gleefully mocks superhero conventions while still delivering the adrenaline-pumping action MCU fans having been craving since Avengers: Endgame.

Thelma

On paper, Thelma might seem like a typical feel-good “gray dollar” fodder, however, the film stands out with a consistently funny script, genuine emotional depth, and outstanding comic performances from its principle actors.

Something's More than One Thing
(2024)
|
Linda Marric

While thought-provoking and timely, this is a muddled addition to the long tradition of era defining relationship movies. Director Alvarez's vision is to be commended, however there is too much noise here to let the good ideas make it through.

A visually impressive endeavour that sets the stage for a larger journey. While it struggles with pacing and narrative cohesion, it manages to hold promise for future instalments to build upon. Impressive stuff, but a little too schmaltzy in places.

It's a capable cast and an intriguing premise with some decent atmosphere built, however the weightless script gives very little for the characters to build on. It has strong ideas, but needed a more assured hand to make the most of them.

The Idea of You

A successful, if somewhat pedestrian, feminist representation of an age-gap love affair. I dare anyone not to be swept up in its sunny, optimistic outlook. This is a film that doesn't a damn about the male gaze, and I am here for it.

While an improvement on Part One, a feisty cast and genuinely impressive action scenes don't make up for the emotional void at the heart of the film. Snyder's fans will eat it up, everyone else will be left wanting something more substantial.
