widow
Hard film about women who commit robbery.
- Original title: Widows.
- Director: Steve McQueen.
- Starring: Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki.
Four criminals are planning to commit a robbery. They successfully steal $ 2 million, but then their van explodes. All this happens in the first few minutes of the film, and then crime boss begins to blackmail the widow of one of the victims, demanding the return of money. It gathers the wives of the other robbers and organizes a new business, to pay off debt.
Winner of the award "Oscar" Steve McQueen seems determined to fit into one movie a maximum recognizable themes and actors. The film is based on the series of the eighties, with a full-length version of the story reworked Gillian Flynn - the author of "disappeared"And"sharps». The cast of the stars entirely - a large part of the trailer takes only listing their names and regalia. But this is not like a female remake of "Ocean's Eleven friends." There is no place for humor and the grotesque. "Widows" - a grim film about survival in the harsh conditions of the modern world.
Unfortunately, the director decided to tell the time virtually all topical subjects: from feminism and racism to the corruption of politicians. And besides, he tried to fit it into a coherent plot the robbery story. As a result, excessive sociability sometimes prevents shooter. But the shooting and the acting are saving almost all situations, so that the "widows" certainly appeal to fans of the hard film.
Ralph against the Internet
Continuation of the famous cartoon with exactly the same atmosphere and a lot of references.
- Original name: Ralph Breaks the Internet.
- Directed by: Phil Johnston, Rich Moore.
The character of the computer game, Ralph and his girlfriend Vanilopa sent to the Internet. The thing is that Vanilopa broken parts on their gaming machine and not to be closed, urgently need to buy a new one. Now the good of all slot machines are connected to the global network. On the Internet, the heroes encounter a lot of characters of cartoons and computer games and constantly fall into absurd situations.
It looks like a continuation of the famous cartoon conceiving, the authors decided to base the picture Steven Spielberg's "first player to prepare." And in the end, instead of a holistic new story "Ralph" was simply a collection of references to pop culture, and all the main action closely follows the original, and it can be described with just one sentence: the characters do not get out there and feel uncomfortable. Sometimes, the creators are trying to make jokes on current topics and beat the general dependence on the web, the YouTube views, shopping on eBay and other everyday modern life. But very quickly forget about it again distracted by another sending to any creature Disney.
However, all these disadvantages are easy to overlook, if not refer to the animated film too seriously. It is not necessary to look carefully for the sake of the plot, and even more so to think. Here you need to enjoy a variety of refrains, look for Easter eggs and laugh at jokes about the Disney princesses and Marvel heroes.
upgrade
Technocratic fighter, somewhat similar to the "Venom".
- Original title: Upgrade.
- Director: Leigh Whannell.
- Starring: Logan Marshall-Green, Valleho Melanie Steve Daniels.
In the future world where gadgets and artificial intelligence have long become commonplace, an auto mechanic living-retrograde Gray. After the accident, and bandits attacked his girlfriend dies, and he is paralyzed. And his only chance to once again become a complete human being - a chip with artificial intelligence "Stam". He did not just Gray again puts on the legs, but also makes it faster and stronger. He decides to take revenge on the murderers of his beloved.
The global box office this film appeared at the beginning of the summer, but most of it talking after the release of "Venom" with Tom Hardy. In fact, the subjects of paintings are very similar, and even a portrait likeness of the main characters is striking. Only "upgrade" for all filmed cheapness much wittier and more dynamic. Particularly pleasing formulation fights with unusual camera work and ambiguous morality.
The film is not necessary to look at the big screen: a modest budget did not allow the authors to cool special effects. But appreciate it in the movie is really worth: shooting, story and unexpected twists will hook all fans of sci-fi thriller.
Wife
Good drama with Glenn Close in the title role.
- Original title: The Wife.
- Director: Björn Runge.
- Starring: Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater.
40 years Joan Castleman supported her husband Joe. And now everyone knows it as a talented writer, and it remains only his wife, which almost no one notices. But when Joe are going to hand over the Nobel Prize, Joan decides to reveal the secrets of creativity of her husband.
Probably, the film with the speaker called "Wife" could be accused of being too feminist propaganda and NCCA plays the next story "behind every successful man stands a woman." But in fact, it is primarily about two loved ones, and all the conflicts and tragedies are often interspersed with comical moments of family life in the spirit Woody Allen. And it works perfectly thanks to the actors executing the main roles.
The "wife" is hardly possible to find some completely new ideas and plot twists, and even morality sometimes served too straight. But the picture, where beautifully played by Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce, and even Christian Slater as a journalist weasely certainly deserves attention.
a nation of murderers
Youth thriller turns into a bloody thriller for fans of "Judgment Night".
- Original title: Assassination Nation.
- Director: Sam Levinson.
- Starring: Odessa Young, Hari Nave, Sookie Waterhouse.
Four high school girls living in the town of Salem and devote their time most stereotypical occupations: gossip, Self, dancing and so on. But after an unknown hacker compromising network merges in almost all residents, one of them turns out to be the prime suspect, and all around want to arrange it over the massacre. And there's girlfriends just have to shoot ahead of the curve.
The first and main problem with this film is that all the hard action shown in the trailer, occurs only in the final. And the beginning looks like a youth drama with a standard set of topics: baiting online, condemnation of sexuality, racism and more. Each of these parts is not bad in itself, but they are not fit together very well: for those who are attracted advertising action seem too tight, and the people imbued with current topics, can not appreciate the bloody isolation. It seems too toy for very serious content.
If we talk about the total violence topical story, that still reference the picture like the second part of "Judgment night"Failed to catch up with the authors. But here the idea is much simpler: the director unvarnished throws the viewer all the cruelty of society and the herd instinct. Perhaps many of the paintings seem disposable, but to see it is worth it. At least in order to remember their own flaws and secrets.
drop
Feeble attempt to talk about corruption and brutality.
- Director: Ivan I. Tverdovskiy.
- Starring: Denis Vlasenko Anna mica, Danil glass.
Once the mother Denis threw in an orphanage. It grows among the same abandoned children, but has one feature: due to a rare disease does not feel pain. Years later, his mother decides to take his son and quickly finds his hobby: he must throw a luxury car, and the police then spreads to their owners a lot of money.
Directed by Ivan I. Tverdovskiy continues its attempts to talk about everyday topics harsh language. But if in his previous work, "Zoology" in the conventional plot has been added to a portion of phantasmagoria, to make a picture of unusual, but now he is inclined to the grotesque straightness. Yes, this film clearly exposes corruption among the authorities, but all the same story filed over the forehead: there werewolves in epaulets literally shout that they steal money.
Unfortunately, these topics are not left to "throw up" space for at least some grace and human emotions. The film is worth seeing only those who once again want to recall the corruption of the police and the courts and the cruelty of some parents. But in this case it is easier to include the news on television.
Obsessed with time
The film is for those who have not seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
- Original title: Time Freak.
- Director: Andrew Bowler.
- Starring: Asa Butterfield, Sophie Turner, Skyler Gisondo.
Quarreled with his girlfriend, the protagonist decides to fix Stillman. He makes a detailed timetable for their relationship, highlights all the important points, and then invents a time machine. Stillman moved to the past and trying to accurately correct all their mistakes, but eventually changes the whole history of communication with his beloved.
In this film a lot of the problems that cast doubt on whether its general look, much less advise someone. It seems to be the story served as a romantic comedy, and the tie is simple and pleasant. But, firstly, the actors are constantly nedoigryvayut and often emotional scenes the characters seem to be just cardboard. Secondly, all the time Stillman behaves selfishly, making the romance in the story of the toxic relationship. But thirdly, and most importantly, there is a beautiful film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Jim Carrey. As it is almost the same story submitted is much more interesting and emotional. It is better to reconsider it.
Be Astrid Lindgren
Biography of the famous writer for all who read her books.
- Original title: Unga Astrid.
- Director: Pernille Fischer Christensen.
- Cast: Alba Augusta trine dyrholm, Björn Gustafsson.
The life story of the famous children's writer Astrid Lindgren. The film tells the story of her youth, the first relationship and the betrayal of a loved one, as well as the forced separation from the child. Many of these experiences and as a result made the very Lindgren storyteller, who loved children all over the world.
Still worth the name would translate more accurately - "Become Astrid", because the picture tells it about the formation and transformation of the charming girl in awkward personality known to all. But it seems that Russian distributors have decided to once again play on the familiar harmonies. However, this is minor, because the film came out just wonderful. Alba Augusts in the title role is a bit like Pippi Longstocking and attracts with its liveliness. Starting from the stage of dance, this heroine is simply impossible to penetrate. A complex history of her life literally touch anyone.
Astrid Lindgren's fairy tale read in childhood almost everything, but now definitely need to learn how they were born in the mind of the writer.
I - Billionaire
Italian social comedy with hints of Berlusconi.
- Original title: Io sono Tempesta.
- Directed by Daniele Luchetti.
- Starring: Marco Dzhallini, Elio Germano, Eleanor Danko.
Billionaire Numa Tempesta living in their own property, build entire cities in the third world and can buy just about anything he wants. But once it caught on big frauds with taxes. By court order, he has to work a year, helping the poor in the social center. And this punishment is fundamentally changing world tycoon.
In this film clearly felt the reference to the history of Silvio Berlusconi. The name of the policy is still at the hearing in Italy, and director Paolo Sorrentino recently I dedicated a whole film. But here we have decided to pay attention only to a small part of his biography: as the hero of the film, Berlusconi was serving a sentence of community service. That's only in actuality, "I - Billionaire" somehow it did not work out. More precisely, it is all too obvious and artificial, as well as morality that we must be good and help people.
Of the benefits of this movie only easy predictable humor built on collision of two worlds - so much fun to talk about only the Italians are similar topics. A more charismatic protagonist (Marco Dzhallini many remember for "Perfect Stranger"). The rest of the topic of social stratification, of course, very important, but the film is too often confused in the mood, or a comedy show, or tending to moralizing. He will enjoy a typical Italian cinema fans, the others can not feel the flow.
three persons
Social film from Iran, made in the spirit of the road movie.
- Original title: Se rokh.
- Directed by Jafar Panahi.
- Starring: Behnaz Jafari, Jafar Panahi, Rezaey margin.
Girl from Iran writes to the smartphone dying message, which says that the dream of becoming an actress, but she was not allowed conservative parents. Before committing suicide, accusing the heroine in all the well-known actress, which she tried to call, so she persuaded her relatives. Message of reach of the actress, and she decides to go home girl to learn more and to help himself takes director Jafar Panahi.
This film won at the last Cannes Film Festival best director award. Perhaps some interest in it is connected with the personality of its founder, who is now under house arrest. But Panahi takes really bright and emotional movies. This time, he deftly mixed reality and fiction: like a fictional story, but the action takes place in a very vital situation, and the actors play themselves.
"Three Faces" - a complex film about the rigidity of the society and the dictatorship. Documentary supply makes watching a heavy, but those who love the life stories and a road movie, where most of the action takes place on the road, he will like it.
Night school
Comedy flat humor of Kevin Hart.
- Original title: Night School.
- Director: Malcolm D. Lee.
- Starring: Kevin Hart, Tiffany Heddish, Mary Lynn Rajskub.
Once Teddy dropped out of school. He did not regret it, because in his life and so things are going well. But after the drastic changes, which he himself and blame hero to find a new job. And to get it, he must graduate from night school and have a certificate. However, and here he relies more on his cunning, not even trying to learn.
The director of this film (by the fifth part of the "Scary Movie" and "Soul Plane Girls") as he tried to gather in the main hero of all the unpleasant qualities: he was an impostor, a bummer, a whiner and vulgar. But it still served as if he were still a positive figure. As a result, "Evening School" collection looks clumsy and sebaceous jokes, and the whole character of the film is dealing with problems that he himself had itself created.
In these films, too, a lot of fans, but here everything is simple: watch the trailer, add to the impression of it still twice as much vulgarity and stupid jokes. If satisfied with the result - you can go to the cinema, when in doubt - better skip.
