As of now, big studio Hollywood is raking in the millions with these movies that are husks coated in comic book primary colours. If you’ve had a rough week, and desire the anesthetization that such films specialize in, then X Men: Apocalypse will certainly give you bang for your buck.

Fan is certainly not a perfect film, but it’s a unique, performance-oriented thriller that explores the twin themes of obsession and identity, more so the latter than the former.
