Each actor in Affleck’s latest film gives a powerful and award winning performance. “Air” is a slam dunk and ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made. Affleck successfully captures Nike’s heartwarming and hilarious marketing  journey while paying respectful homage to all involved. “Air” is a tremendous underdog story filled with lovable characters. It’s truly a film about legends made by legends.

[»Suzume«] is a spiritual journey through the very fabric of a land, anatomizing how we navigate nostalgia for home and grief for lost loved ones when both have been long-destroyed by the senseless strike of an invisible force. With it all packaged into a story of cosmic reconciliation between Suzume and her inner child, the emotional heft of this thing breaks the Richter scale.

Drawing from the John Wick well of murder-for-hire, Byun Sunghyun’s action thriller is as focused on fleshing out its characters as it is on delivering exhilarating set pieces.

The Ordinaries shows ambition and craft on a mightily impressive level, in every department from production design (channeling 50s/60s East Germany), through richly textured, astutely pastichey cinematography and playfully layered sound (Fabian Zeidler’s score, Nicolas Voss’s sound design). The cast give their all, often slipping note-perfect into self-reflexive renditions of performances-within-performances.

This is compelling storytelling by any standard, its supple rhythms hypnotic, its atmosphere potent and its prevailing hushed tone and intimate camerawork affording us the closest possible access to three characters who in turn are constantly studying one another. The actors playing those three points of a complicated triangle could not be better.

It’s one of the master’s most transparent and — when it comes to confrontations about what parents, and specifically women, can or should do for themselves and for the babies they are forever bound to — brave films of his career.

Saint Omer might be fiction, but Diop does not stray too far from her documentary roots. The film maintains a sense of naturalism even during its most tense moments. Diop’s directing style leans observational, as if she is watching and recording her screenplay’s effect on her performers.

I’d say this playful yet nakedly personal coming-of-auteur epic was trying to split the difference between memoir and crowdpleaser, but it seems even more determined to reconcile the two: What else would Steven Spielberg’s ultimate divorce movie be about if not the hope for some kind of reconciliation?

Blanchett erreicht hier einen möglichen Karrierehöhepunkt auf einer Art, die wohl nur ihr möglich ist. Sie schafft es, die geschmeidige Lebendigkeit einer jungen Wildkatze mit der abgeklärten Reife einer Grande Dame zu vereinen, ist darin alterslos, unendlich feminin und hat doch in ihren Hosenanzügen stets auch etwas Dandyhaftes. Aber auch die reine physische Ekstase beim Dirigieren hypnotisiert einen. Niemand hätte das so spielen können.
