REVIEWS
The Dinosaurs are back wreaking havoc yet again in the latest Jurassic World instalment. ‘Rebirth’ may deliver some new thrills, but like its predecessors, fails to live up to the magic of the original Spielberg classic.
‘Sorry, Baby’ is just an assured debut in every sense. It is very methodic and well-plotted in its cathartic ambitions, and equally deft, light, and profound. Director Eva Victor is a rising talent, and it already excites to think about what her cinematic instincts will provide us with next.
While Ilya Naishuller remains a cogent action artist who knows how to frame and shoot a succession of kinetically exciting sequences, everything around the action in his latest, ‘Heads of State’, falls incredibly flat.
