• Even if Setters shows no inclination to understand the dark desperation that drives parents to buy marks for undeserving children, it could’ve made a little more effort to be sly or suspenseful,

  • Avengers: Endgame is a three hour-long emotionally draining, exhilarating, electrifying goodbye.

  • At the end of this rather long movie, Alia asks ‘What do you see in this story? Kalank or love?’

    I saw beauty at its emptiest. You won’t be able to look away. But you won’t feel anything either.
