KISS THE FUTURE: Viva Sarajevo And U2

Kiss The Future is a glimmer of what the world can be when we are one – united by the communal goodness and beauty of art.

The Last Duel is a comfortable return to the medieval genre with tense battle sequences and an urgent takedown of a misogynistic system.

Come for the car races in Ford v Ferrari, and some fine performances by Matt Damon and Christian Bale, but don’t expect to take too much away from it.

DOWNSIZING: Grand Potential Is Lost Through Miniaturized Scope
DOWNSIZING: Grand Potential Is Lost Through Miniaturized Scope

Despite some wonderfully imaginative special effects, Downsizing falls short due to its unfocused nature, an underdeveloped love story, and some feeble attempts at social satire.

THE MARTIAN: An Immersive and Compelling Experience

Some of the very best films are those that are immersive experiences. You immediately know after leaving the theater that you have witnessed something special, and for anyone to even suggest otherwise just seems inarguably wrong. The Martian is one of the few films that I have seen this year that has left such an impact.
