“Kajillionaire” is as quirky and charming as you can expect from Miranda July, who previously delighted us with “Me and You and Everyone We Know” (2005) and “The Future” (2011). Like these two films, the movie often baffles us with … Continue reading
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Borat returns
“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”, which is also known as “Borat 2”, wants to be as bold, shocking, and outrageous as its predecessor, but the overall result feels rather mildly amusing in comparison. Although there are several uproarious moments in the film … Continue reading
The Trip to Greece (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Coogan and Brydon’s last trip

Greed (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A broad satire revolving around one greedy rotten bastard
