Capone (2020) Review

October 9, 2020October 9, 2020 Cultural Hater

Tom Hardy mutters and splutters his way through Capone (2020), an ordeal of a film that incorporates an overly complicated plot only to cover up its obvious flaws. Viewers – like me – who cheered up for Tom Hardy tackling … Continue reading Capone (2020) Review

The Devil All The Time (2020) Review

September 22, 2020September 22, 2020 Cultural Hater

Evil wears many faces in Antonio Campos’ somber The Devil All The Time (2020) – a tale about one eager heart set against the parochial, pre-Vietnam America where religious fanatics roam freely.  In a secretly located grove two people – … Continue reading The Devil All The Time (2020) Review

American Pickle (2020) Review

September 20, 2020September 20, 2020 Cultural Hater

Seth Rogen’s double stunt – as an unsuccessful developer and a defrosted pickle factory worker – fails to rescue the inevitably shallow American Pickle (2020).  To be in a pickle is a common way of describing a fairly difficult situation. … Continue reading American Pickle (2020) Review

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Review

September 13, 2020September 13, 2020 Cultural Hater

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) stands in line with Charlie Kaufman’s previous works – it’s enigmatic, disturbingly dark and often perplexing. On a side note, it is also one of the year’s best films so far. When it comes … Continue reading I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Review

Hammer (2019) Review

September 3, 2020September 2, 2020 Cultural Hater

In Christian Sparkes’ no-frills Hammer (2019), son draws his father into a post-heist-gone-wrong drama. Minimal style of the film works because of its tight runtime, and the go-for-broke plot. Neatly packed in just 82 minutes, Hammer (2019) introduces us to … Continue reading Hammer (2019) Review

Tenet (2020) Review

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 Cultural Hater

Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster Tenet (2020) rings hollow despite its riveting action sequences, superb effects and the enormous ambitions written all over it. Is there a person in this world who is even vaguely interested in cinema and hasn’t heard … Continue reading Tenet (2020) Review

Zama (2017) Review

August 22, 2020August 23, 2020 Cultural Hater

Lucrecia Martel’s adaptation of Antonio di Benedetto’s novel Zama (2017) is a costume drama that paints rich existential poetry, but what works in the form of written language doesn’t translate on the screen. The foundations of existential drama are laid … Continue reading Zama (2017) Review

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) Review

July 28, 2020July 28, 2020 Cultural Hater

If anything, the only true revelation regarding Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) is how boring, uninventive and derivative a horror film can get. Movies, which are based on video games, carry the burdensome weight of living up to fans’ expectations, meanwhile … Continue reading Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) Review

June 10, 2020July 7, 2020 Cultural Hater

Fasten your seatbelts, because Gareth Evans has produced a deeply disturbing mixture of horror genres in Apostle (2018). This year could be easily referred to as a tiny renaissance of cult-themed horrors. Almost all of the most rewarding horror screenings … Continue reading Apostle (2018) Review
