Timothée Chalamet and the Art of the Press Tour

The greatest trick Timothée Chalamet ever pulled was making the world believe that A Complete Unknown's press tour was unplanned, organic and impulsive. It's easy to believe, since his movements are so uncommon. What other actor crashes a look-alike contest, goes on College GameDay, and sits down with a generational talent at the British Film Institute? Even when he does the usual press tour stops like interviews and premiers, he does them in a way that attracts attention, as we'll discuss. Chal

Emilia Pérez has the Nominations That Megalopolis Deserves

I finally watched Emilia Pérez. Being a Peliplat enthusiast, I couldn't avoid the discourse surrounding the movie and I knew I had to watch it. It lived up to the hype. Bad songs, bad acting and a story that, well, we'll get to that. Still, going into Pérez, I didn't want it to be bad. I had hope for Jacques Audiard. I remember watching Un prophète (2009) and thinking it was one of the most creative movies I'd ever seen, at the time. The next Audiard movie I watched was The Sisters Brothers (201

Rise of Animation: Do Future Films Still Need to ‘Speak Human’?

Records exist to be broken. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of animated films, where box office figures have been soaring to unprecedented heights. Meanwhile, some high-quality animated films are seeing a noticeable reduction in dialogue—with some even eliminating it entirely. First, there’s Inside Out 2, which was officially released in the U.S. on June 14, 2024. In just two weeks, it surpassed Incredibles 2 to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the U.S. Two

The Revival of ‘Slasher’ Horror in 2024

2024 is the year that slasher horror, that bloody, guttural genre we thought was long past its prime, made a triumphant return. But this isn’t your dad’s slasher flick, where the only thing on the menu is gore and an unstoppable killer. No, these films—Terrifier 3, Smile 2, and others—are the perfect storm of old-school bloodshed and new-age anxieties. As a Gen Z-er who grew up poking fun at horror movies with an ironic distance, it’s honestly kind of thrilling to see slasher films evolve into s

Cultural Confidence: French Audiences Still Chose Theatres in 2024

France is "the only country where more people went to the cinema in 2024 than in the previous year," and the growth in admissions was "driven by domestic films." Olivier Henrard, the acting chairman of the French National Center for Cinema (CNC) excitedly announced this "dual exception" in the CNC's annual report released on New Year's Day this year. Indeed, in the context of a global decline in cinema attendance, as the birthplace of cinema, France has achieved something of a miracle. In 2024,

Captain America or Captain Midlife? Marvel’s Middle-Age Crisis

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is at a crossroads. Gone are the days when Tony Stark could fly in with a flashy suit or when Steve Rogers could effortlessly wield his shield, saving the world with a single toss. Now, with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans ’ departures, we’re left with a roster of superheroes who are either getting a little too old for this game or scrambling to stay relevant in a world that’s rapidly changing. And then there’s the question: what happens when Captain America

A 2024 recap

The year 2024 ended. The award season is now in session, which means there are a lot of interesting releases that are just arriving to theatres (that's the main reason why it's easier to make a recap after one month in 2025). If we go back to 2024 and carefully analyse it, we could ask questions like: Was this a good year? Was there even something interesting? What did we learn? Is this the right path to walk? Just like in our personal lives and the global panorama, the entertainment industry wo

The Era of Rewriting Oz’s Wicked Witch Has Arrived!

We’ve stepped into a new era. Gone are the days when the Wicked Witch of the West was nothing more than a green-skinned villain with an evil laugh. With Wicked (2024), we’re now looking at a new kind of witch—one that’s not just misunderstood but one who challenges the very idea of what it means to be “wicked.” This is the moment when Oz’s most iconic figure gets a much-needed makeover, not just in terms of her appearance, but in how we perceive her power, her struggles, and her relationships.

Moana 2 brings many concerns for animation industry

In past November 27th, Disney premiered Moana 2. This sequel of the acclaimed 2016 box-office hit had a big bar the reach. When critics and regular audiences finally saw the movie, they all agreed it was not even close to recapture the magic and charm of the first one. Despite that, the last report of says it has become another box-office success with $710 million worldwide. Of course everybody would wonder how is this possible. Anyhow, it all doesn’t matter once we realise how this could effect
