• To its credit, the film makes complex mathematics fairly accessible, even to a non-math person. But what’s the point if one fails to engage with the man behind the math?

  • It’s futile to compare The Huntsman: Winter’s War with the sequel (or prequel) because of the sheer pointlessness of both.

    But, going by the film’s ending, which leaves us on an ominous note, we may have to endure another one.

  • I abhor the use of phones in theatres but even I couldn’t help reaching out for mine a couple of times. I yawned too. A lot. Let’s say, the film thankfully ended just before I woke.

  • But this visually inventive film moves rather smoothly. It also feels a bit indulgent, but the good kind – that gives us a couple of sexy sequences: including one where Davis dreams of simply walking with his headphones on in a crowded street, while the rest move backwards in time.

  • What makes The Jungle Book enduring in our collective consciousness is that it is an outlet to our eternal fantasy to live in the wild. The film, painted in mystical shades, succeeds in invoking this deep, primal core present in all of us.

  • The film, thankfully, isn’t too long. To be fair, it might even work for an audience okay with spending 1 hour 30 minutes of their life watching a ‘timepass’ level generic thriller. But for the more serious moviegoer, Bus 657 is one they should be happy to miss.

  • The film, in its quiet and powerful way, shows us the fragility of marriage…

  • When a film titled London Has Fallen begins with the dusty fields of Pakistan, you know where it’s heading. It’s going to be yet another American geopolitical fantasy where Uncle Sam saves the world, as it bulldozes all nuances of the topic of terrorism along its way. But to be fair, keeping its problematic politics aside, the film begins to tell its story well.

  • The new Disney animation movie is an innocuous, enjoyable anthropomorphic parable that doesn’t dig too deep.

  • In one moment it is an American road movie of lovers on the run like Bonnie and Clyde , the next an erotic thriller in motel rooms like Lolita and in another, a lesbian pulp fiction with spies and hidden cameras. It’s these hybrid genre elements of Highsmith’s text that director Todd Haynes incorporates so well that makes Carol an unexpected love story.
