"Michael" (Antoine Fuqua, Lionsgate)

Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma (2026) ****

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The Odyssey (2026) ****

Terrific action movie about a great hero of Greek mythology. Superb in (almost) all respects. Unfairly maligned for its casting choices. But the real flaw is how prudish it is, especially in the disappointing scene with mermaids.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) ***

Fine sequel to the 2026 hit. Not many surprises, but Meryl Streep is as fabulous as ever, Anne Hathaway is way better than in The Odyssey, Stanley Tucci steals every scene he is in and Emily Blunt lets us discover a completely different side of her character. The second act is a bit weak, but the film sticks the landing.

The Drama (2026) ***

Very complex, very nuanced and quite surprising film about a young couple facing a very unexpected crisis. It has been very accurately described as "a poker-faced satire of hypocritical self-righteousness among yuppie millennials".

Toy Story 5 (2026) ***

Excellent fifth instalment of the famous Pixar franchise that will strongly resonate with everyone worried about the effects of the social media on the young children and their social development.

Michael (2026) ***

Average musical biopic about Michael Jackson's rise to fame. The musical numbers are terrific, but Colman Domingo (as his father Joseph Jackson) gives a disappointing, one-dimensional performance.

People We Meet On Vacation (2026) ***

A romantic comedy about two friends who decide to meet every year for a shared summer vacation, even as their lives take very different paths. A charming riff on "When Harry Met Sally" (1989).

La Bataille de Gaulle (2026) ***

Impressive war drama in two parts. The first, "Résistance," is surprisingly humorous. The second, "Liberté", is more exciting. And curiously, the biggest asshole in the whole movie isn't Adolf Hitler, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

In Waves (2026) ***

Redemptions (2026) ***

A complex and suspenseful Canadian drama with very interesting characters and unexpected plot twists. It falters a bit near the very end, but the rest is thoroughly impressive.

125 rue des Malaises (2026) ***

An intelligent Canadian comedy about an elderly man making two surprising announcements to his daughter. An entirely improvised film, shot without a script.

Pauline Julien femme pays (2026) ***

Very experimental biopic about a famous singer from Quebec. 

Montreal ma belle (2026) ***

A tender film about a May-December (or maybe May-September) lesbian romance.

Novig Is Just Sports (2026) *****

Few ads have provoked such vehement reactions as this one, courtesy of Sydney Sweeney.

House Tour (2026) ****

Another outrageously sexy music video from Sabrina Carpenter, co-starring (and co-directed by) Margaret Qualley.

Drop Dead (2026) ****

Filmed in Versailles, a superb music video from Olivia Rodrigo, directed by Petra Collins.
