Driver’s Ed’ Review: Bobby Farrelly’s Tame Throwback Exhumes, But Can’t Revive, the ’90s Teen Comedy

News

By Jessica Kiang According To The variety Both an obvious product of ’90s nostalgia and the definitive cure for it, Bobby Farrelly‘s terminally innocuous “Driver’s Ed” can be described as a youth comedy, but whose youth? Though technically it is set in the current day, because smartphones exist and someone mentions Ritalin, the sensibilities of both director and screenplay (by Thomas Moffett) are so trapped in the past that the whole movie feels like a defrosted caveman sporting a pair of earbuds — which is essentially the plot of 1992’s “Encino Man,” apropos of nothing much except that after “Driver’s Ed,” all your comparisons will for a time gesture toward pre-millennial pop-cultural artifacts. It’s hard to remember that era being quite so unfunny, though, nor quite so ...

Geek Girl’ Star Emily Carey, ‘A Kind of Spark’s’ Lola Blue Lead Autistic-Centered ‘The Birth of a Mall Goth’ (EXCLUSIVE)

News

By Naman Ramachandran According To The variety Two prominent autistic actors, Emily Carey (“Geek Girl“) and Lola Blue (“A Kind of Spark”), topline the short film “The Birth of a Mall Goth,” marking a rare project where neurodiverse talent controls the creative process both on-screen and off. Writer-director Samantha Locock developed the script around her fascination with goth subculture, though she didn’t realize until after receiving her autism diagnosis that the story reflected her own neurodivergent experience of seeking understanding in an often confusing world. “When I wrote this script, I don’t think I fully understood why I was so deeply intrigued by why people suddenly become goths,” Locock said. “Now, I see the film as the autistic need to try and make...

Guillermo del Toro on Sunday Paintings With Other Directors and the Brutality and Grace of ‘Frankenstein’: ‘Both Can Exist in the Same Body

News

By Clayton Davis According To The variety Guillermo del Toro doesn’t just direct monsters — he understands them. The Oscar-winning auteur behind “The Shape of Water” (2017) and “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006) has built a career elevating genre cinema through stories of misunderstood outsiders. But with his long-awaited adaptation of “Frankenstein,” the Mexican filmmaker has returned to what he calls his creative origin — and maybe his most personal film yet. “To me, the point of origin was ‘Frankenstein,’” del Toro tells Variety. “This is not a monster movie. This is a story about what it means to be human.” Del Toro’s take on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel isn’t horror in the conventional sense — it’s myth, metaphor and opera. After decades in development, “Frankenstein” finally pr...

News

By Brent Lang According To The varietyChanning Tatum, playing a robber with a serious case of arrested development, may have delivered the most mature performance of his career, at least if the thunderous standing ovation for “Roofman” at its Toronto Film Festival premiere is to be believed. The film tells the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, the so-called “Rooftop Robber,” who broke into dozens of McDonald’s restaurants, was sentenced to prison for 45 years, escaped, and hid in a Toys “R” Us, all while becoming romantically entwined with one of the store’s employees (Kirsten Dunst). Derek Cianfrance, best known for moody dramas like “Blue Valentine” and “I Know This Much is True,” saw Manchester’s incredible story as a chance to work in a different register. “I ju...
