For quite some time now, Kate Winslet has been inspiring Lee Miller’s creativity. Long before the release of the biopic on American war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller, the oscar and emmy award-winning actress got in touch with Tony Penrose, son of Lee and Roland Penrose. For some reason she wanted to know why nobody […]
In this tautly-constructed, impeccably acted biographical film, Christopher Nolan delves into the life and times of J. Robert Oppenheimer, including the politically charged issues surrounding this historical figure and his prominent achievements. The American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by American historians Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin serves as the
DreamWorks Animation has just produced a superb animated film that they have not done since the 2010 How to Train Your Dragon. The Wild Robot is better than even the most optimistic of you may expect. Feel the bliss of a helpbot coming to terms with her maternal instincts over an abandoned gosling. She, too,
For the sake of this review’s purpose, it would be senseless to try to persuade anyone that parenting (and motherhood in particular) is not hard. Spoiler alert: it is. For all the beauty and joy of seeing a child grow up, at times being a mother is nothing but a thankless job. With little appreciation
What would you do if your 39-year-old self came back to give you life-changing advice about the future when you were a teenager? Would you heed such warnings? Or do you go un-chained and risk the somewhat likely possibility of heartache and despair? This is the splendidly imaginative and moving core of the narrative My
Under ideal circumstances, On Swift Horses would have been termed the Brokeback Mountain for the young people of a different generation. The modern day Western earned a jealous critical praise upon its release in 2010 and quickly came to be termed as the immoral version of Ang Lee’s Oscar winning film Brokeback Mountain. The calculated
What makes romance such an exciting genre is the fact that everyone understands it. Even if you present the specifics in very different styles, it hardly matters if the classic, or to say the least the essential, components are present. We Live in Time, which was presented at the Toronto International Film Festival, knows its
Things have not always been as simple as they seem with Faithless (or Trolösa)´s history. The screenplay was written long before the life of Ingmar Bergman, a genius director by everyone’s standards. He is not the one who made that film out; that guess belongs to his former lover and film partner, Liv Ullman, who
Colin Farrell’s case for an Emmy is quite a stretch – he rather needs even more shelves. The Penguin limited series film being made by HBO is no one’s second impression, the second return of Farrell as Oswald Cobb is limitless in itself. Widely unrecognizable because of the amount of heavies and make-up, Farrell leads
An aggressive Juliette Lewis becomes the prey in the compelling period thriller where Peter Dinklage, the main actor does not hold back from the first bloody image of the film. As with most of our massive novels placements are based on legendary novels, and with the The Thicket no such sympathy whatsoever is assigned to
