Paula Beer And Franz Rogowski ‘Undine’ Review

/Film – November 3, 2020 at 11:36AM:

For such a romantic, Christian Petzold sure likes to keep his audience at arm’s length. The German director of alt-history star-crossed romances like the 2018 stunner Transit ventures into folklore with his latest cosmic romance Undine, a chilly, cryptic film that spends most of its runtime searching for a soul. Whether it finds it finds it or not is up for debate, but there’s no question that Undine is a lush, transporting affair whose enigmatic magic laps at your feet and slowly washes over you.

Kevin Costner And Diane Lane ‘Let Him Go’ Review

/Film – November 2, 2020 at 09:13AM:

Kevin Costner has enjoyed a long career playing the father we all wish we had (and also once a fish-person). Great as our actual dads might be, they simply cannot compete with Costner. The guy perfectly hits all the right notes: honesty, dignity, quiet reserve, rugged Americana – all qualities we want in a hyperbolic father figure. Let Him Go exploits all this and reminds us of one other thing he’s good at: ass-kicking.

Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are in-laws you do not want to mess with…

The Untold Truth Of Borat Two

Looper – October 28, 2020 at 01:12PM:

The new Borat sequel once again pits Sacha Baron Cohen, in character, against real Americans with controversial views, and shocking, provocative, and hilarious comedy ensues. Here’s everything there is to know about Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

Because Borat Subsequent Moviefilm was made so quickly, and under a veil of secrecy, the project’s existence was something of a surprise. Amazon announced in September 2020 that the film, which had finished shooting only weeks earlier, would be available for streaming a month later. This belies the fact that a sequel to the original Borat film took years and a few false starts to get off the ground.
