The Brutalist 2024
The Brutalist felt more like an outline of a great American masterpiece than a true masterpiece.

Wicked 2024
Wicked may be brimming to life with magnificent production design and costumes but at its core the story is too bare-bones and uninteresting to sustain a 160 minute film. Grande makes the most of her role as Glinda but Erivo as the titular Elphaba is such a bland character that even her incredible voice can’t make up for it. Dancing Through Life remains the best song in the film as it actually brings the world of Oz to life, even for a brief moment. All in all, this is a highly overrated film.
