Malcolm and Marie (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): One bad night between them
“Malcolm and Marie”, which was released on Netflix shortly after having a limited theatrical release in US around the end of last month, trusts its two main performers but only ends up having them stuck in its frustratingly repetitive narrative. … Continue reading
Pieces of a Woman (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): After her devastating loss
Kornél Mundruczó’s new movie “Pieces of a Woman”, which was released on Netflix yesterday, starts so strongly that what follows after that point looks rather underwhelming in comparison. Fortunately, the movie is still carried well by a remarkable performance at … Continue reading
The Rental (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A competent test run by Dave Franco
