acques Audiard took a series of big swings with Emilia Pérez. And he struck out on almost all of them. 4.5/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10
As a biopic, I find Marinette slightly below average. I think the film lacks focus and doesn’t do enough justice to the character at its centre. 4.9/10
The Midwife’s Tale is something new in WLW movie canon, a bedtime story. And it’s not just new, but well executed and not-so-subtly radical in its themes of queerness, feminism and reproductive health in medieval and modern times.
With everything that’s happening right now it’s not exactly the time for a movie such as this. But as has become apparent to me, it is never gonna be the time for this. And I fear that Kiss Me Kosher only gets less funny as time goes on. 5.0/10
Jules of Light and Dark has much in common with its protagonist. Both are vague, aimless and don’t evoke any strong emotion in me as a viewer. 3.6/10
having seen numerous of these toxic female relationship films, Heartbeast’s artistic merits and gripping atmosphere kept me on the edge of my seat. That’s what I want a thriller to do and that’s often something I miss from this subgenre. 6.7/10
Over Easy shows a strong understanding of what is realistically possible for a film with a small budget. It is a small, focused story with funny moments. However, I worry the story might actually be too small to fill out a feature film. 5.1/10
The best thing I can say about it is that it didn’t monumentally fuck anything up. I’ve seen my fair share of movies that fail to meet that requirement. However, not fucking up doesn’t mean Us x Her did anything particularly good, either. 4.6/10
Love Is a Map is a decent indie movie. Shame it left almost no memorable impression on me. 5.2/10
