Sacrifice’ Review: Virtue-Signaling Billionaires Dance on the Edge of a Volcano in Romain Gavras’ Scattershot Satire

Sacrifice’ Review: Virtue-Signaling Billionaires Dance on the Edge of a Volcano in Romain Gavras’ Scattershot Satire

News
By Peter Debruge According To The variety How many rebellious movies about ganging up to overthrow the status quo does one need to make before uneasy governments start to put you on some kind of watch list? For Romain Gavras, son of the legendary “Z” director and political critic Costa-Gavras, the count now stands at three. First, there was his 2010 debut, “Our Day Will Come,” an unnerving call-to-action in which redheads inherit the earth, followed by the white-knuckle “Athena,” about an uprising in a Paris apartment bloc. Now comes the splashy “Sacrifice,” which takes a more satirical view of ecoterrorism and the end of days. “Sacrifice” feels like the music-video director’s reaction to Ruben Östlund’s brand of comedy, an elevated form of irony that has earned the Swedish directo...

Ukraine Selects Oscar-Winning Director Mstyslav Chernov’s ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ for Academy Awards International Feature Race

News
By Naman Ramachandran According To The variety Ukraine has selected Mstyslav Chernov’s “2000 Meters to Andriivka” as its entry for the best international feature film category at the 98th Academy Awards. The film chronicles a Ukrainian platoon’s mission to liberate the occupied village of Andriivka from Russian troops. Shot with a combination of helmet cameras, drones and on-the-ground footage, it provides an unflinching look at modern warfare and highlights the endurance of resistance under extreme conditions. Reviewing the film for Variety, Guy Lodge wrote: “’2000 Meters to Andriivka’ is a documentary both vigorous and exhausted, propulsive and petrified, with a prevailing tone of anxious fatigue encapsulated by one soldier’s plaintive, barbed question: ‘What if t...

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

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...
