Shalini Langer's Film Reviews
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Fifty-six years later, Antoine Fuqua movie seems way past its sell-by date, and without bringing little new to the table.
-
Blake Lively starrer can seem repetitive, and a little pointless in the talk that Nancy has going with the seagull and later with a camera.
-
The Jackie Chan film builds towards a buddy partnership as action remains unimaginative and the laughs few.
-
It is a desperate attempt at making the audience laugh.
