Glass Tries – and Fails – to Make a Case for an M. Night Cinematic Universe
A standard superhero showdown isn’t what Shyamalan has in mind for Glass.
Holmes & Watson (2018)
There’s no question Holmes & Watson is a bad film. Yet this isn’t as disastrous as you might have been led to believe.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)
This is a different kind of New York film.
Aquaman (2018)
Aquaman really needed to be another Wonder Woman.
It’s not.
Creed II (2018)
This is an underdog story with heart, as entertaining (if not as well-crafted) as Coogler’s predecessor.
Climax (2018)
Forget nu-Suspiria; Climax is the film of 2018 that truly gives itself over to the dance.
Suspiria (2018)
My issue with Suspiria is that it’s neither thrilling, nor scary, nor fun.
The Party (2017)
There’s a kernel of a decent film in The Party, but it’s scuttled by clumsily blatant attempts at satire.
Boy Erased (2018)
Boy Erased avoids the bombast and dramatisation that might be expected from its subject matter, instead opting for modest authenticity.
My Friend Dahmer (2017)
This film adeptly sidesteps the obvious dangers of either explaining or empathising with Dahmer … which, unfortunately, leaves it without much of a purpose.
