There are passion projects and then there's something like Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis; a film the Oscar-winning director has been attempting to get off the ground since its conception way back in 1977 that's only now finally a reality after an investment of $120 million of Coppola's own money. Hats off to the legendary filmmaker for taking such a huge risk, but was it really worth it? At the age of 85, Megalopolis could very well be his final film. With a big swing of the bat for his swan song,...

Producing live television is a tough gig. Producing live television in the mid-70s with an inexperienced cast, a crew on the verge of revolt, and a network with their finger on the cancel button is even tougher. That's the backstory of Jason Reitman's crackingly chaotic and hugely enjoyable Saturday Night; a wild look at the backstage mayhem surrounding the very first broadcast of iconic late-night show, Saturday Night Live. Led by one of this year's best acting ensembles and Reitman's firecracker of a screenplay, it's a brilliantly constructed look...

You're going to hear a lot of people say Anora is this generation's Pretty Woman. Sure, both films feature a tough, intelligent, and confident female sex worker as their lead character, but that's really where the similarities end. While Julia Roberts found true romance with her gentleman suitor, that's not really writer/director Sean Baker's intention with his latest masterwork that continues his dedication to telling human stories that remove the stigma around sex work. A brilliant romantic comedy with plenty of laughs but an equal measure of humanity, heart, and...

Take two of the best actors working right now, pair them with the director of one of this decade's best romantic dramas, and throw in a gorgeous story that explores the power of love, the fragility of life, and the elusive nature of time and you have We Live in Time; one of the loveliest films you will experience this year. With a script brimming with warmth and authenticity, the film balances heartache and sadness with hope and humour. Perfectly led by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, it's...

With The Last Showgirl, director Gia Coppola crafts a visually lush and emotionally resonant love letter to the women who defined the golden age of Las Vegas. In the process, Coppola delivers Pamela Anderson the role of a lifetime and the kind of redemption comeback story she's always deserved. Like the city itself, the film brims with a heady mix of glamour and melancholy, celebrating the vibrancy of the world of Vegas showgirls while acknowledging its impermanence. Coppola’s signature sensitivity as a filmmaker shines through in her depiction...

There's no point in beating around the bush here. Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is a staggeringly impressive exercise in modern filmmaking and a film of relentless ambition and emotional depth that anchors its sweeping historical narrative with profound intimacy. With a running time of 3.5 hours, it’s a mighty epic in every sense of the word and a grand meditation on exile, creativity, and resilience. But it's also a deeply personal story that examines the sacrifices artists make for their vision. As a young filmmaker, Corbet ascends to...

A wordless cinematic journey from director Gints Zilbalodis that speaks through its breathtaking visuals, gorgeous story, lovable characters, and evocative score, Flow delivers a staggering impressive film both meditative and emotionally charged. It’s a testament to the universal language of visual storytelling, even as it tests the patience of those more accustomed to conventional narratives. Stunningly crafted and deceptively emotional, Flow is an utter gem and one of the best animated films of the year. Set in a vibrant yet eerily desolate future where humans are noticeably absent, Flow...

After more than three decades of watching countless films every year, it takes quite a lot to shock and surprise this film critic. Then again, it's not every day something comes along like The Substance; Coralie Fargeat's disgustingly twisted, pointedly satirical, sickly comedic, and staggeringly entertaining body-horror that will either leave you fleeing for the exit or applauding with sheer joy. I was in the latter category. A biting indictment of Hollywood's obsession with youth and the way it discards women of a certain age, Fargeat clearly has a...

There is always trepidation when an actor transitions into the director's chair. That apprehension only rises when that actor is also responsible for co-writing the screenplay. With the tense, disturbing, darkly funny, and twist-filled nail-biter Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz deftly proves she's both a writer and director worth watching and one with a sharp vision and something pertinent to say. Shrewdly influenced by Jordan Peele's Get Out, the #MeToo movement, and the horrors of what went down on Jeffrey Epstein's island, Kravitz delivers an unnerving psychological thriller that will keep...

Much like the unstoppable extra-terrestrial force at the centre of this space saga, the Alien franchise is a monolith that simply refuses to die. After Ridley Scott's Alien and James Cameron's Aliens set such a high bar for the sci-fi genre, nothing that's followed has captured the same magic. Scott tried valiantly to resurrect the series with the ambitious but anarchic Prometheus in 2012 and the gnarly but generic Alien: Covenant in 2017. After mixed reviews and so-so box office results, it was clear the time had come for some fresh blood. While...
