    F for Fake

    Originally meant by François Reichenbach to be a real documentary until its subject turned out to be a fraud, F For Fake was restructured by Orson Welles into a celebration of trickery, a labyrinthian fake meta-documentary about a fake artist, the forger Elmyr de Hory, described by a fake writer, the hoax biographer Clifford Irving, and framed by the self-admitted fake superstar genius. By sharing the intersecting character of Howard Hughes, the blurring boundary of reality and illusion and the…

    Barbie

    Not superficial enough for flaws to showcase its self-critique nor complex enough to be above its brand’s limitations, Barbie follows up on Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s reputation for nuanced coming-of-age dramas unafraid to linger on their young women’s mess of unresolved emotions with a campy existentialist meta-comedy which struggles to reconcile being both a toy commercial and a meaningful deconstruction of its titular 64-year-old IP, capitalism, gender, identity and self-worth.

    Justice for an assaulted woman's life then rests on two men fighting not to stand up for her but for their pride. While Marguerite is spared, the misogyny around her perpetuates itself, co-opting her battle into its framework of glory.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    "Not a perfect soldier, but a good man."
    -Abraham Erskine

    Exploring the moral and legal grey areas of the Blip's bureaucratic fallout, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier celebrates and challenges Steve Rogers's legacy, symbolised by the shield and its different perceptions. As America tries to fill his absence while Karli Morgenthau and Isaiah Bradley expose the pain and history it neglected, flawed characters with differing agendas struggle against each other and the shield.

    Like Erskine in Captain America: The…
