O'Dessa 2025
I was excited for this, especially after Emilia Pérez (it wasn’t exactly a high bar for O’Dessa to clear!). But unfortunately, this post-apocalyptic rock opera doesn’t find its rhythm and at times, feels more like a high concept music video.
There are some really intriguing ideas and concepts - game show dictatorships, gender ambiguity, a society built around music - but instead of digging into those really interesting ideas, the film skims the surface, for some reason prioritising a half-hearted…

Mickey 17 2025

And if you’re making it a musical, then I beg, make the music good. Instead, the songs feel tonally jarring, at times problematic,…
