‘David’ Review: Handsome Animation but Standard-Issue Storytelling in Faith-Based Holiday Hit

News

By Guy Lodge According To The variety If all you know or remember of the eponymous biblical character’s story is that he defeated a hulking giant with a humble slingshot, then “David” might have some surprises in store for you — chief among them, the fact that the film continues for a full hour after this famous, seemingly climactic showdown. But the films of Angel Studios, by and large, are not for audiences only vaguely acquainted with the Bible, and this surprisingly slick animated feature will play best with viewers who can see its every narrative turn coming. That is a sizeable demographic: Released wide last weekend, Brent Dawes and Phil Cunningham‘s film overperformed notably at the box office, landing in the runner-up spot to “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” and aptly...

Kumail Nanjiani Says He’s ‘Very Proud’ of His Performance in Marvel’s ‘Eternals’: ‘I Do Not Get to Choose What the Reviewers Are Going to Think’

News

By Payton Turkeltaub According To The variety Kumail Nanjiani got candid about his experience working on the critically panned Marvel movie “Eternals” on a recent episode of NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin, saying that the film changed how he approached work — something he’s “very grateful for.” “I’m very proud of my performance in it,” he said. “And it’s rare to say, but I actually wouldn’t change anything about how I am in that movie.” The actor and comedian played the superhero Kingo in the 2021 fantasy film alongside other stars Kit Harington, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Angelina Jolie. Despite the stacked cast, the film opened to disappointing box office and lukewarm reviews from critics. On the podcast, Nanjiani went on to shar...

Wicked: For Good’ Script Changes Improve Disability Representation, but Issues Remain

News

By Kristen Lopez According To The variety Since its release back on Nov. 21, I’ve had several social media followers and friends ask me: “What did you think of ‘Wicked: For Good?’” There’s a hidden undercurrent to this question. They aren’t asking me just because I’m an entertainment journalist and critic; I’m also a disabled person who routinely writes about representation on-screen. So the question they’re really asking is: “What did you think of how they handled Nessarose in the movie?” Nessarose, the half-sister to heroine Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), has been a character I’ve had trepidation over since the movie was greenlit. The first movie in 2024 was a pleasant surprise. I knew they’d have to cast an actual wheelchair-using actor or risk the ire of social media, and Marissa Bod...
