Claire Foy is always watchable in any role, but this grief drama is a bit plodding, preventing the film from soaring as high as it could be.

While Carnahan’s writing and direction aren’t always firing on all cylinders, it does hit the mark at times. Having Damon and Affleck portray longtime friends whose trust and loyalties are put to the test works really well here.

Marty Supreme
(2025)

Chalamet really gives his all in this role, but this is a frenetic, exasperating ride. Even though he's on screen for nearly the entire 2.5-hour runtime, we still don't learn much about Marty, and the female characters are even less developed.

A drab and dull sequel that squanders its narrative potential, packed with cliched dialogue, lackluster action, and familiar apocalyptic scenarios. It also takes itself so seriously that it’s ironically comical.

A tense, vivid, surreal journey during Brazil’s ‘time of mischief’ that makes one reflect on the weight of the past and the elusive nature of memory. Wagner Moura is absolutely magnetic in a restrained performance.
