EPISODES

FF+ American Fiction
Way more drama than comedy, but the satire can be biting, even if it is rendered less effective by perhaps coming too late. Sadly, it's underwhelming how all of the family issues sub-plots don't feel like they coalesce strongly with the main story point and take up most of the runtime. A solid film with strong performances but my experience with this overall was just fine - nothing close to revelatory or emotionally stirring.

FF+ Silent Night
John Woo returns to American cinema after twenty years with a revenge film that features no dialogue and a surprisingly emotional story. The action is solid, though unspectacular, but the film's overall balance of melodrama and underdog ass-kicking combined with a fantastic score and sound design makes for a successful reunion between the director and fans.

FF+ Saltburn
A lower class Oxford student stumbles into the good graces of a wealthy classmate he adores and eventually spends a summer at his family's opulent estate. Not all is as it seems, though. At times deliciously campy and twisted, and at others painfully simplistic and melodramatic, the story plays out much how you'll expect, with provocation after provocation attempting to distract from the obvious lack of substance. Very much a love it or hate it affair by the end, but my goodness is it pretty to look at it regardless.

Episode 390: Gran Turismo
For our conversation this week about Sony's newest (and perhaps boldest) film adaptation of the beloved simulation racing video game series, we called in our friends Logan and Micah from The Reformed Gamers Podcast. Neill Blomkamp's film incorporates many of the tropes we are familiar with in sports dramas while balancing reverence for the exciting video game that spawned this incredible story and still managing to succeed at pulling the right heart strings.

FF+ Wish
Disney's delightful newest fairy tale pits a teenage girl and a friendly wishing star against the controlling ruler of a utopian kingdom. It's not quite as magical as their best stories, though, and instead finds its biggest strength in valuable social commentary.

FF+ Napoleon
Joaquin Phoenix in outstanding, though he exaggerates Napoleon so much at times that the film feels like pure comedy, which can be somewhat tonal whiplash when compared to the brutality of the gorgeously shot large-scale battles. What is blatantly clear is that this is not the movie Ridley Scott intended, as it's noticeably choppy; but hey, at least we'll get the full 4-hour experience eventually thanks to Apple TV+.

FF+ The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes
For a franchise fan like me, it was a joy to spend time in Panem again. Tom Blyth shines in the central role of Coriolanus Snow, providing a simultaneously tragic and infuriating villain origin story. The strength of this prequel remains the amount of details and history about people and events from The Hunger Games series that it fills in and seeing them visualized was very satisfying.

Episode 389: The Holdovers
This analog tale with a snappy script and grounded characters provides the warm hug that its audience needs, reminding us that a makeshift family can give a person what they need in the absence of a real one. A perfectly timed Christmas release that we'll be enjoying and being refreshed by for years to come.

FF+ May December/Rudy (4K Home Video)
Incredibly thought-provoking, heartbreaking, and at times awkwardly funny, the film takes a look at a taboo/illegal romantic relationship in a sometimes deadpan and campy way. It's melodramatic like a soap opera and observes the family dynamics of those involved in this strange situation from the POV of an actress preparing for a role in a method, unhealthy way. It's crazy, but very smart, too!

FF+ The Marvels
Not so sure about going higher and further, but at slightly over 90 minutes, at least THE MARVELS goes faster! Iman Vellani and Goose are the stars here, but an undercooked main plot and maybe the worst villain the MCU has had yet sink this thrown together mixed bag despite it being a refreshingly diverse female-led superhero flick.

Episode 388: Nyad
With fantastic energy, a rousing Alexandre Desplat score, two incredible central performances, and nifty documentary-esque use of archival footage/audio by the first-time narrative directors Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Diana Nyad's remarkable story of swimming from Cuba to Florida in her 60s is told. It's the kind of extreme sports, crowd-pleasing, inspirational biopic formula that is focused on the individual more than the accomplishment in a way we love.

FF+ Origin/Next Goal Wins (TIFF Reviews)
Two vastly different films are covered in this TIFF review episode - Ava DuVernay's adaptation of a New York Times bestseller is a sweeping, educational, and at times tragic, exploration of caste and Taika Waititi's latest comedy is a generic but crowd-pleasing underdog sports story with a surprisingly uplifting element of inclusion.

FF+ Priscilla
Coppola's exquisite filmmaking style and intimate approach to this rather uneasy and abusive romance shows us the non-tabloid side of the iconic pairing's relationship. From the very start it feels like a romantic horror, such a unique and unsettling experience. Showing Priscilla's all too relatable story from a female perspective can be very meaningful, even for those not in a relationship with a mega-famous wealthy superstar.

Episode 387: Killers of the Flower Moon
Scorsese’s impressive (and long) adaptation of Grann’s non-fiction account is an engaging crime story that highlights an insidious historical injustice and encourages reflection. A stronger focus on the Osage people as something other than victims and some toned down cameo performances would be welcome, but this is still a fantastic epic drama.

FF+ Five Nights at Freddy's
It's made for the fans. If you're one of them, you'll probably enjoy the nostalgic experience of seeing a beloved franchise in film form, regardless of the tonal imbalance and general ridiculousness of it all. If you're just coming for a good little slasher-style horror flick, you're probably gonna be very annoyed that it's not scary or bloody at all and leave sorely disappointed.

FF+ Killers of the Flower Moon
Martin Scorsese's impressive adaptation of Grann's non-fiction account feels very much in line with the director's family crime stories of the past while highlighting an important American injustice that encourages audience members to reflect. A+ acting work from Lily, Leo, and Bob carry this complex character drama and Prieto's photography is mesmerizing. The length and patient pacing will be a challenge for some and it's a shame that the Osage characters weren't established a little more deeply, but despite some nit picks this is still upper tier work from the legendary director.

Episode 386: The Burial
Based off of an article in the New Yorker, Maggie Betts takes a simple and straightforward case and makes a mountain out of a mole hill, amplifying racial undertones of the time period into a place of priority that distracts from what could have been a more compelling courtroom drama. The performances are great and the points being made about poor character are admirable, but ultimately this was the wrong approach and results in a very middling and not particularly rousing legal film.

FF+ Special Ops: Lioness
A captivating take from creator Taylor Sheridan on female strength in military special ops and espionage that treads lightly into melodrama while keeping its focus mostly on the high-stakes mission at hand. It's well-paced with great use of tactics when action is required, but the depth of character building and ideological dilemmas it presents make it special.

FF+ The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
William Friedkin always loved the gray area and characters who couldn't be defined in just one simple way, and here he masterfully explores that through a trial that forces us to consider mental illness (and specifically how that is defined), ego, and leadership experience as they relate to a major conflict in decision-making between Naval Officers that has resulted on one of them being accused of mutiny. Riveting, fantastic work here all-around, and a perfect companion piece to my beloved THE CAINE MUTINY (1954).
