Marriage Story Review

December 6, 201910 Comments

Noah Baumbach’s, Marriage Story is one of the most well written family dramas I’ve seen in this decade. The screenplay is so well written and the dialogue is painful and realistic. It’s a very raw take on divorce and relationship issues. Baumbach’s direction should also be recognized because of how well he framed his leads … Continue reading Marriage Story Review

The 92nd Annual Academy Awards were a complete success. The reason why it was a success, was because Parasite made history as the first International Film to ever win Best Picture. Bong Joon-ho also took home a golden statue for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best International Film. Parasite definitely deserved to win these awards and if you … Continue reading Oscars 2020: List of Winners

“What stands out the most in the film is the animation. Sony’s animation is so beautiful and vibrant. They have added their own unique spin to how they create the world for their stories. The almost lifelike animation, combined with the fast-paced action, and fun story, makes this film one of the best of the year, so far. Young Katie has been trying to find out who she is. She expresses herself through her filmmaking but her parents don’t really understand her dream. There are some hard-hitting conversations that happen between Katie and her parents, especially her father.

“#SugarDaddy directed by #WendyMorgan, takes a musicians creative process to new lengths and shows the connectivity between art/artist. As a creative, there needs to be some support from the people around you in order for you to grow in your field. You can find unlikely partners in your life who don’t even live near you, who will understand you on a different level. From the unique camerawork, to the interesting story and character work from #KellyMcCormack, the film will leave you considering the same career path. It is an in-depth psychological analysis of the scars left from childhood that many people carry into adulthood. This generation tends to focus on how to fix the issues, take accountability for their actions and attempt to move forward with a better understanding of who they are.”
“Ann appears to have it all. But when her stepson returns to #Montreal with the beautiful Safiye (#LianeBalaban), Ann develops an obsession with the stranger, who she fears could destroy the privileged life she has built. #VanyaRose explores two different female characters in a sincere and compassionate way. What starts out as a defensive tact on Ann’s part turns into a very vulnerable olive branch in wanting to tell her story. The film does explore issues of class, family and deception. It is just so fascinating to watch because of Joy’s layered performance. What I found most interesting is the fact that she was an archer and she always had to have a sense of control when shooting the bow and arrow. Oddly enough, that pressure to be perfect ruins Ann’s peace and concentration when craving that form of release, while her secrets build up.”
“Does #Godzilla look cool? Yes. Does Godzilla have a wicked creature design, with so much detail, that you can see him breathing and see the scales on his body move? Yes. However, that’s all he does. The atomic breath was cool, the fight scenes with Kong were really intense and fun to watch as well. When it came to hand-to-hand combat, #Kong really took some shots and he had you rooting for him the whole time. I wouldn’t consider Godzilla that much of a villain in this story. It’s more along the lines of this fight being inevitable since they both exist. The main issue in these monsterverse films, especially for Godzilla’s side is the human story. It’s a chore to sit through and it truly doesn’t add much to the film.
