Moonlight takes you on a rare trip to the sub-conscience of its protagonist and has enough ammunition in terms of its story-telling, cast and crew to make you not only stay rooted there for its run-time but also to think about other layers the maker conveys as you get out of Little Black Chiron’s life as the end credits roll.
Hail, Caesar! is a technically rich film that is only sporadically funny. It sadly falls into the bracket of ‘all style and no substance’ in spite of the excellent cast and performances.
Narrating a touching tale of the search for long lost relationships at a lethargic pace, ‘Lion’ thrives on the remarkable acting prowess of the lead cast who dish out emotional performances, making it an experience close to the heart!
On the surface, ‘Trolls’ has a lot of fun vibes that can amuse the kids occasionally with all the vibrant songs and colorful creatures that groove, but as a movie it is really is a superficial attempt that is just too flashy sans any meaningful intent!
Marvelous acting, gorgeous visuals and a multi-layered narrative that requires the viewer to invest in the film make ‘Nocturnal Animals’ one of the finest films to come out this season. A terrific comeback from Tom Ford almost 7 years after his debut film!
As an intriguing account of a family that is fighting to adapt to the extreme life changing decisions they have brought upon themselves, ‘Captain Fantastic’ is an eccentric drama that is quite absorbing by virtue of the proficient acting showcased!
Sully is a classy depiction of a heroic real-life incident that did its bit in lifting the spirit of New-Yorkers after the Financial meltdown. Hanks plays a major maneuvering role in safe-landing this tribute of Eastwood to Captain Sullenberger that doesn’t go overboard at any point
Florence Foster Jenkins might look underwhelming at the surface, but it’s nothing short of an enjoyable dramedy. With an expressive lead cast, the intelligent writing adds more substance to the story that keeps engaging the viewers till the end!
Kubo and the two strings is a masterclass in packaging a fun filled fantasy adventure punctuated by jaw dropping visual grandeur while having a neat little life lesson tucked away for someone willing to see beyond the glitz!
Bank robberies committed by Cowboys in Texas – that’s something not so unique to sell, but “Hell or High Water” has more to offer than just that. Diligent acting and eye-pleasing captures of the Texas landscape, aided by a particularly well-orchestrated screenplay, makes it quite a pulsating western film!
