    Anora

    ★★★½

    ANORA delivers on its promise of profane comedy and brilliant performances, but wears its frenetic pacing thin towards its conclusion.

    the first half of the movie is near flawless. even while the movie's breakneck pace and non-stop depictions of debauchery threaten to desensitize you, Mikey Madison's magnetic performance keeps all the explosive elements in orbit.

    the writing and direction are also outstanding. the jokes hit with immediate punch and come one after another that it's almost hard to keep up…

  • Wicked

    Wicked

    ★★½

    WICKED's catchy musical numbers are bogged down by its bloated narrative and paper thin characters.

    I can't comment on how faithfully the songs have been adapted for the screen, but the uptempo tracks sound great, and are backed by neat and economical direction. One Short Day and Popular are especially solid tunes that also keep give the plot some much needed pace.

    while the performances are all pretty solid, the characters themselves just don't bring that much to the table.…
