A Star Is Born Review – Devastating Romance Is An Incredible Debut (Rating: 10/10)
The basic premise of A Star Is Born truly does have the potential to be timeless: a romance between two individuals as one rises and one falls, with tear-jerking consequences. However, it would be understandable to think that remaking it not twice, but three times may remove some of its power, and render it a cliché. In an unlikely twist though, this third remake, by … Continue reading A Star Is Born Review – Devastating Romance Is An Incredible Debut (Rating: 10/10)
First Man Review – A Dizzying Examination Of Grief (Rating: 8/10)
Damien Chazelle has already built up an incredible track record so early in his life and his career. Though he is only 33 years old, he has made multiple films that frequently rank among the favourites of film fans: Whiplash and La La Land. I can’t speak for Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, but I’ve heard good things about this feature debut as well. I say this … Continue reading First Man Review – A Dizzying Examination Of Grief (Rating: 8/10)

Crazy Rich Asians Review – Enjoyable Romcom With A Difference (Rating: 8/10)
This month has been unusually good for Asian representation in widely seen movies. Searching reached number two in the US box office featuring an East Asian father looking for his missing daughter through her online activity. What nabbed the number one spot, though, was Crazy Rich Asians, which features an entirely Asian lead cast, is set mostly in Singapore, and focuses on Chinese identity from the perspective of … Continue reading Crazy Rich Asians Review – Enjoyable Romcom With A Difference (Rating: 8/10)
A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)
Though I’ve watched some of Paul Feig’s other movies, I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a fan of his. While I appreciate the female-lead humour in most of his body of work, and the sincerity he promotes in his protagonists, I never felt anything more than a vague fondness for what he has done so far. This has changed with A Simple Favor, a stunning thriller than … Continue reading A Simple Favor Review – Stylish Mystery With Echoes Of Noir (Rating: 8/10)
