What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me.
If you can leave your sanity behind and drink the Tim Robinson Kool-Aid, Friendship will be one of the funniest movies you’ll see this year.
Through a blend of music, dance, and spoken word, Child is a performance piece that seeks to reignite within us the joy, curiosity, and freedom that often gets eroded by the demands of life.
And at the centre of it is a marvellous performance by David Corenswet, who infuses this Man of Steel with a beguiling softness and an emotional intelligence.
The film feels earnest, and the performances are sincere enough to carry the runtime.
F1’s is an immersive, muscular melodrama about an aging race car driver who’s still got it. Well, he’s got his problems too.
Lighting, pyrotechnics, and early 2000s pop music are playfully woven together to immerse us in a theatrical montage of a drunken night out, where the tea is spilt and old resentments are finally laid bare.
Tightly scripted and well-paced, this is a consistent romp which knows when to circle…and when to bite.
Cackles and shrieks of delight could be heard throughout the film, and I left the cinema smiling, eyes scanning the footpath for handsome strangers.
