Just In: Shoshana review: Superb acting and espionage flavours in a timely tale

Selected cinemas; Cert Club Shoshana | Official Trailer | In Cinemas February 23 Few coincidences could be as bitter on the tongue than for ­Shoshana to have its UK premiere on October 7. Just as director Michael Winterbottom and his cast were preparing for the event, news came in of the massacre ­unfolding in the Jewish state.That attack and the subsequent catastrophe in Gaza sharpen the arrival of this historical drama about love and radicalisation amid Israel’s violent birth. Interwar Tel Aviv is a liberal city within British-mandated Palestine. With worrying murmurs from Germany, rival Zionist factions there grow impatient for a larger slice of the Promised Land.Shoshana (Irina Starshenbaum), a beautiful and independent journalist, aspires to her late father’s ideal of Jews and Arab...

Just In: “Saving Minds”: A Film Review

Source: Courtesy of Green Lion Productions/Bullfrog Films, 2024, with full permission. “When I first met Myriam Anouk,” the narrator shares near the start of Catherine Mullins’ remarkable new documentary "Saving Minds" (Bullfrog Films 2024), “she was coming to terms with her life after 10 years in the mental health system.” That deceptively simple sentence turns out to refer to nine hospitalizations in Montréal’s mental health facilities, during which Myriam Anouk (her complete first name) is forced to take medication, told when to sleep and when to get up, and, to all appearances, incarcerated in a high-security jail. Held involuntarily in such a way, she confides, “you have no rights.” “A High Price to Pay” What had happened to Myriam Anouk that such “treatment” could be considered a...

Just In: Film Review: A Long Goodbye (2019) by Ryota Nakano

“When things don’t last, it’s sad”. Family-centred dramas seem to have become the specialty of director Ryota Nakano since his feature debut “Capturing Dad”. His 2016's film “Her Love Boils Water” earned him a remarkable number of awards and nominations and “A Long Goodbye” was the following work, with a stellar cast. It will be followed in 2020, by another family narration, “The Asadas”, where a real story gives him a vehicle to talk about the dramatic events of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. A Long Goodbye is screening at Japan Society as part of the Family Portrait program It's 2007 and Fumi (Yu Aoi) and older sister Mari (Yuko Takeuchi) are summoned by their mum Yoko (Chieko Matsubara) to celebrate the 70th birthday of their father Shohei (Tsutomu Yamazaki), a former headmas...

Just In: Movie Review: Buckle up for a queer road trip caper in Ethan Coen’s spry ‘Drive-Away Dolls’

“Drive-Away Dolls” is, technically speaking, made up of old parts.Its script was written two decades ago, when references to Ralph Nader and Chelsea Clinton’s security detail were current. Its homages are even more vintage, with trippy transitions harkening back to the acid-soaked B-movies of the 1960s. There’s a mysterious, sought-after briefcase, odd couple thugs on the hunt for it and some innocents who find themselves unwittingly entangled in the drama. It is all very familiar, and yet, in the hands of Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke (who co-wrote), this 83-minute road trip caper feels like one of the freshest theatrical offerings of the year.Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan star as Jamie and Marian, best friends and total opposites who are looking to escape their surroundings fo...

Just In: Movie Review: ‘Seagrass’ Shows an Intimate Understanding of Family | InSession Film

Director: Meredith Hama-BrownWriters: Meredith Hama-BrownStars: Ally Maki, Luke Roberts, Nyha Huang Breitkreuz Synopsis: A Japanese-Canadian woman grapples with the death of her mother as she brings her family to a retreat. When her relationship with her husband begins to affect the children’s emotional security, the family is changed forever. You’ll immediately notice Seagrass’s ominous mood, even a sense of impending doom, very similar to the 2021 film The Humans, when it comes to Meredith Hama-Brown’s evocative family drama. The Canadian filmmakers never let the viewer shake off the anxiety of the future and the depression of holding onto the past, leading to a metaphorical dark cloud hovering over this family of four. Or, in this case, a dark cave that represents the distress...
