It doesn’t hurt that Peele’s latest boasts some of the most inspired alien design since H.R. Giger left his mark on the genre, or that Kaluuya’s eyes remain some of Hollywood’s most special effects, as “Nope” gets almost as much mileage from their weariness as “Get Out” squeezed from their clarity. It’s through them that “Nope” searches for a new way of seeing, returns the Haywoods to their rightful place in film history, and creates the rare Hollywood spectacle that doesn’t leave us looking for more

People who hand-wring about movies being dead really need to check this one out. RRR proves that, yes, cinema is alive and well, but only if you’re willing, every now and again, to look past your backyard.

The Bob’s Burgers Movie isn’t exactly breaking new ground for this world and these characters, but instead, is showing how impeccably crafted and brilliant this world is when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Trying to explain how this movie works as well as it does, without using excessive jargon or some kind of audiovisual aide, is tricky since “To the Ends of the Earth” isn’t about anything less than its heroine’s uncertain relationship with her foreign environment, and what she chooses to communicate simply by being seen and heard. Which is often thrilling to behold, but not so much to explain.

Ein junger chinesischer Prostituierter unterstützt seine Familie in seinem Heimatdorf, die zwar das Geld nimmt, aber seine sexuelle Neigung verachtet. Er selbst steckt in einem erotischen Dreieck mit zwei jungen Männern fest. Das subtile Underdog-Drama durchleuchtet in ruhigen Bildfolgen den unauflösbaren Konflikt zwischen privatem Glücksstreben und gesellschaftlichem Erwartungsdruck. Die tragische Romanze ist dabei in ein vielfältiges Geflecht aus sozialen Beziehungen und gesellschaftlichen Konflikten eingebunden.

Im Streaming gibt es noch eine ganz ganz ganz schwierige Person aus der Filmwelt: Adam Sandler. Auf Netflix. Wer jetzt noch nicht schreiend weggelaufen ist, den sei vorsichtig und mit Vorbehalt das Basketball-Drama »Hustle« offeriert. Sandler versucht mal wieder einen ernsten Film mit einem talentierten Nachwuchsregisseur zu drehen zu machen, was erstmal interessant sein könnte. Wohl eher klassisches Sportdrama, aber da er zum Streamen ist, kann man wohl mal einen Blick riskieren, sollten die Kritiken nicht zu vernichtend sein. Nicht zuletzt konnte Sandler ja vor nur 2 Jahren erst eine Goldene Schnecke gewinnen, also geben wir den Mann mal noch nicht völlig auf. Ist ja auch teil der sportlichen Fairness.

If awards season gets up your nose, with its self-congratulatory speeches and luvvie back-patting, this playful and wildly entertaining Spanish satire on the filmmaking process is the perfect antidote.

There are moments when, like the gaudy lights of Acapulco, Sundown flickers into something rather special when seen from the right angle, in the right mood: a film about a goodbye to life which is also a film about a kind of afterlife.

The film captures behind-the-scenes media drama in a much better fashion than the American streaming series “The Morning Show.” Seydoux brings a vulnerability to the role even when the character is at her most monstrous. In part because of the depth of Seydoux’s performance, the film becomes less an allegory of a nation and more a gripping character study, a portrait of a mask of personal and professional regard slowly slipping away.
