Shalini Langer's Film Reviews
-
Where Moana consistently hits the mark is the expanse it allows its heroine — the length and breadth of an ocean — with the film and the future of the world almost entirely resting on her shoulders.
-
There is so much potential in this Naomi Watts film, but it’s incomprehensible…
-
Arrival’s most acute observation is how common language isn’t the only key to keep communication going, but the film appears to not notice it.
-
With Eddie Redmayne’s deliciously shy Newt Scamander, the delightful sister duo of Tina and Queenie and no-maj Jacob, JK Rowling has done it again.
-
Rock On 2 was all about a generation, about love, about growing up, even chasing dreams. But this time round, Farhan Akhtar, Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli film has other plans in place.
-
Everything is forgotten in the brilliant Inception-like reimagining of cities, streets and buildings that the film deploys, as The Ancient One and her pupils battle out Kaecilius and his lynchpins in different dimensions.
-
Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher should have taken his own advice and “never gone back” down this well-trodden path.
-
Director O’Connor has factored in mathematics too to give us a hero who multiplies numbers as fast as he eliminates people, who beats himself literally to sleep while gazing upon a Pollack fixed on the ceiling.
-
Emily Blunt brings such a raw, pained, mortified portrait of an alcoholic to live that it’s a shame that the filmmakers fail to recognise this as essentially her story.
