    I'm Still Here

    ★★★★½

    Propelled this tragedy with subtlety and intricacies amid its precision and naturalism, Salles's film aptly explores the extensive story of loss caused by crotchets of oppressive regime as much as the quiet resilience and moving strength against it. Greatly restrained and inward performance from Torres, her face reflects the indomitable spirit of a woman fighting for justice through the echoes of love and solidarity while the nuanced, blistering approach stresses the remembrance of a family as well as the nation.…

  • Grand Tour

    Grand Tour

    ★★★★½

    Hypnotic as well as multilayered and enigmatic in its own terms as a passionate paean for cinema itself, Gomes' sultry and dreamy south-east Asian odyssey exhibits a spirituous shot of wanderlust-for-life as much as it dives into settler-eccentric philosophy into timorousness and obliviousness. Characterised by the intricate corners of the mind and one's adventurous soul, the beyond time-space docu-fiction "Grand Tour" finds the involuted worldliness amid love, innocence and magnetism in an alluring, invigorating and transcendental continent-spanned travelogue.

    Not a Pretty Picture

    ★★★★½

    Focused on a committed re-enactment and first-person brooding over Coolidge's experience of rape in her adolescence and the consequent ordeals, this personal meld of documentary and theatrics taps into the socio-political intimation on personal affairs and tragedies. Trailblazing in the sense of self-introspection and varying perceptions revolving around the issues of such situations, it elicits the parties on both sides of the truthful play in a profound understanding, and as for the actors and directors in an exclusive way finds…

  • A Normal Family

    A Normal Family

    ★★★★

    There can't be a more problematic and dicey individual than an unsympathetic teenager seething with hatred. Aided by Kyung-gu and Dong-gun's defining performances as mutually reciprocal as well as contradictory siblings in their self-conflicted circle, Jin-Ho's film aptly delves into a deconstructive study of family and morality through its reflection on the dubiety of human nature, uncritical acceptance and irresponsibility in the first place, and the flawed rules of the system.

    Eyeing at such a situational mess that makes you…

    Watchmen: Chapter I

    ★★★★

    Heard joke once.

    Man goes to doctor, says he's depressed. Life seems harsh and cruel, says he feels all alone in a threatening world.

    Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great Clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him. That will pick you up."

    Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci."

    Hmm...Good joke.

    Too good, nailed in every aspect; can't wait for Part II.

    "Our daddies are our mirrors that we reflect back on when we decide about what type of man we deserve and how they see us for the rest of our lives."

    Addressed with utmost honesty, Rae and Patton's docu relied on the truths and sentiments of rehabilitation and forgiveness bespeaks the serious repercussions of paternal absence on young girls in terms of their ambitions, assurance, identities- and also the void that swallows up the requisite tenderness and belief. At first,…
