  • Tale of Tales - Review

    All fiction is fantasy. No, really; every movie, regardless of genre, is an invitation to use our imaginations, and every movie takes that suspension of disbelief and runs with it in different ways. Just because a film might ostensibly fall under the label ‘fantasy’ doesn’t mean that the realm it creates is any less fictional, and just because a film happens to include ogres, sea-monsters and magic spells doesn’t mean it’s any less real. Matteo Garrone’s Tale of Tales – quite literally a world away from the drab brutality of his 2008 crime flick Gomorrah, and populated by a cast picked perfectly for their faces and individual merits – uses the veil of mythic kingdoms to seed some timeless ideals about parenthood, family, and growing old, and serves it up on a silver platter next to the giant, still-beating heart of a sea-monster.

  • Mon Roi - Review

    The investment we have with Tony would be devalued had it not been for the breathtaking performance by Bercot, rightly awarded for her efforts at Cannes last year, where she shared the best actress accolade with Rooney Mara for her indelible turn in Carol.
