Ladies First
2026 · Indian Express
Rosamund Pike cannot fully rescue this uneven comedy about men navigating a world dominated by women. The French original should have gone for some fresh approaches to look at how the patriarchal mindset is difficult to dislodge, but instead packages old wine in a new bottle with dated ideas about gender-based discrimination.
Remarkably Bright Creatures
2026 · Indian Express
Remarkably Bright Creatures is as much a sugary and sentimental tale as it is a moving account of love and grief. However, the two-time Academy Award–winning actor Field lends her emotional heft and artistic range to make this whimsical yet profound live-action drama relatable. Ultimately, Remarkably Bright Creatures is a reassuring tale of optimism and resilience that help human beings rebuild their lives after suffering setbacks.
Frankenstein

Frankenstein is both spectacular and moving, fusing Gothic horror with emotional depth. With Frankenstein, del Toro infuses beauty into horror, crafting a world that is as majestic as it is dreadful.
