The Woman King (2022) *

Confusing film set in an African kingdom. Set on an intersectional collision course between feminism and slavery, the film tries to highlight the former in order to explain the latter, but fails to tell a coherent or exciting story. Compared to this, "Black Panther" looks like a well-researched and accurate historical drama...

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) *

The Northman (2022) *


Good Luck To You Leo Grande (2022) *

Very boring film starring Emma Thompson.

RRR (2022) *

Don't Worry Darling (2022) *

Even Florence Pugh's excellent performance cannot save this pretentious and cliché-ridden variation on "The Stepford Wives", poorly directed by Olivia Wilde.

The Elephant Whisperers (2022) *

40 min.

Strange World (2022) *

The worst Disney animated feature film ever. Dull, slow, and very predictable. An embarrassing disaster of epic proportions. While many have blamed its alleged "wokeness" to explain its pathetic performance at the box office, the excessive political correctness is the least of its problems.

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On (2022) *

As one reviewer on imdb has put it: "If you're over the age of eight and you use pronouns like he and him, then this movie is probably not for you. Note the liberal use of the words cute and adorable and heartwarming in most reviews. It should give you a pretty good hint about the target audience."

Puss In Boots: The Last Wish (2022) *

Mrs Harris Goes To Paris (2022) *

Weird film about a British cleaning lady trying to buy a Dior dress. Compared to this, "Emily In Paris" is a nuanced and complex film d'auteur...

To Leslie (2022) *
