Blow Out (1981)

  • Criterion Collection, De Palma, Brian
  • 1981, Brian De Palma, USA

You gotta love De Palma โ€“ Blow Out is a twisted and suspenseful mystery, and also a clever if devilish testament to the art of moviemaking.

Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, USA
  • 5 Comments

It feels like itโ€™s operating one gear too low in terms of pacing, but this take on the trials and tribulations of Black Pantherโ€™s Fred Hamptonโ€”and a spy within his ranksโ€”features outstanding work by Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield.

Promising Young Woman (2020)

  • Others
  • 2020, UK, USA
  • 6 Comments

At times utterly delirious but also engages with its theme of sexual assault and vengeance with a sobering kind of dynamism, Fennellโ€™s debut feature mostly works despite some moments of overwrought sensationalism.
