Full review: https://fandomwire.com/the-dreadful-review/ Rating: C "The Dreadful settles into a space where its Gothic atmosphere and the high-profile reunion of its leads are undermined by a familiar narrative structure. The slow-burn pace often feels like a mask for a lack of genuine surprises or narrative momentum, and while Sophie Turner and Kit Harington deliver committed performances that navigate complex themes of submission and religious fanaticism, the generic execution prevents the story of Anne's awakening from feeling as impactful or memorable as it should. It's a som…

Over the top, ridiculously dramatic, and a total blast. I loved this movie and have seen it twice now.…

Absolutely heartwarming and nostalgic. Incredibly well made, with a perfect ending. Robbie Coltrane is such a sweetheart! It's so cool to see new bits of information from during the films! Rupert not turning in his character essay assignment on Ron for director of Prisoner of Azkaban, Alfonso Cuaron was so fitting! This series is so dear to my heart and it makes me so happy to know so many others feel the same. The ending absolutely made me cry. ;) So many great actors have touched the hearts of a handful of generations with Harry Potter, and will continue to do so forever and... > "Alwa…

Boring boring boring. You can tell a lot about this movie just by how it treats women. They're only there to play the love interests, the only exception being the supreme court justice's wife in the very beginning but even she only serves as a way for her husband to seemingly outwit her with his ideas. Other than that, the movie is manipulative, incredibly boring, cheap and Crowe's German is awful. Better to just rewatch The Schindler's List if you want to enjoy a good WW2 movie. This was just so boring. Again, b o r i n g.…

A very cool production, unfortunately dragged down by whatever the SE Asian term is for blackface. Well worth watching the underwater footage, but skip the rest.…

seen at dances with films festival 2026 in new york. i loved this. there are so many ways to interpret dennis' motivations, and the ending, but here is mine: to me, this film was a study in putting pressure on yourself on someone else's behalf, and that someone else being a loved one's memory you're trying to honor. i have a really close relationship with my grandmother, and had an equally close one with her husband even though we were not related. he has passed, but the urge to do something to make him proud of me is something i will always carry. the picture of dennis' grandmother in …

By the time of writing this, I've watched a lot of documentaries revolving around psychology (cults & love cons for example), so take this review as thoughts of a kitchen psychologist. I'm not sure why Sarma wanted (I'm assuming) to tell this story herself, as she has the charisma of a solid rock and seems irritated when asked questions. If the attempt here was to tell the '_real_' story of how she is innocent, it fell short. Not for a second did this series make me believe, that she didn't enjoy this 'fugitive' lifestyle. By the end, I was bored with the strange storytelling. Fr…

I don't understand what you're doing, why are you still pushing this at this age? This cast should be in a nursing home right now. The acting is terrible, there are no special effects, and the script is dead. You could stare at a blank wall instead of watching this. Is it watchable? Absolutely not. The industry is already terrible, it's always the same things, and this is just another one. Even a 1 out of 10 is too much.…

Aladdin (1992), revisiting Robin Williams catalogue My lovely wife and I watched Aladdin on Valentine's Day, and it felt like the perfect evening. So much better than an overpriced meal in an over-hyped restaurant, especially since we're both excellent cooks and knew we'd have more fun at home with Robin Williams doing a thousand voices as the Genie. Williams' Genie is just the best. The performance is manic, brilliant, endlessly inventive, rapid-fire references to everything from Jack Nicholson to Ed Sullivan to Rodney Dangerfield. I'm not sure kids would laugh as hard as we did…

Rilke once said about poetry and maturity that poetry is born not merely from early feelings but from deep, seasoned memories that have been absorbed into one's being, transforming into the essence of the poet's expression. Paolo Sorrentino's La Grazia is the kind of maturity Rilke was talking about, a film that could only be made by someone who has lived long enough to understand that our hardest decisions are never about the issue at hand; they're about everything we've carried, everything we refuse to release, everything that has calcified into who we are. Toni Servillo is nothing short …
