    Adolescence

    ★★★★★

    Every teenager, especially young boys, and their parents should watch Adolescence. It’s terrifying how easily a boy could turn out like Jamie. Had a few things gone wrong in my life, I might have, too. The show’s single-take episodes capture raw, unfiltered emotions, making every moment feel disturbingly real. It’s a brutal yet necessary look at how young men are radicalized into misogyny, manipulated into hating women to the point of verbal, emotional, and even physical violence.

    Toxic masculinity, online…

  • Oru Jaathi Jathakam

    Oru Jaathi Jathakam

    ★★

    It's funny at times, but most of the movie feels like a big compilation of Instagram "dark humor"—bestie jokes, homophobic jokes, and other sexist jokes. The ultimate aim of the movie is to show a regressive, homophobic, male chauvinist transforming into a better person because of life's challenges. However, the film is filled with the exact opposite.

    The film portrays complicated relationships in a simple, organic manner, allowing the story to unfold naturally without rushing. The audience is encouraged to pick up on details as they go, making the experience more immersive. The filmmakers aimed for authenticity, as seen in Nikhil’s attempt at a British accent—though it didn’t fully land, he still managed to carry his role well.

    Every character navigates a complex relationship, including the cousins. Their bond, initially built on companionship, evolves into something romantic…

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★

    This film is a four-hour historical epic that gets lost in its own artistry but finds its way back to deliver something meaningful. It is divided into two parts, or two chapters. The first part depicts Todd’s struggles and instills a sense of hope, making it feel like a rags-to-riches story. The second chapter takes a 180-degree turn, showing how things unfold in real life—how someone who sounds different will be treated differently and how the amoral elites will discard you after they’ve used you. The four-hour runtime is necessary to take us through this wide range of emotions, setting us on an emotional roller coaster.
