CATCH UP CAPSULES: MATERIALISTS, SORRY BABY

 


SORRY BABY
Young woman in a spiral doesn't realize how bad she is until a friend shows up.
Okay drama would have worked better for me had I liked the main character more (and the film wasn't so deliberate in its construction)


MATERIALISTS
Celine SOng's follow up to get Oscar nominated PAST LIVES is weird misstep. Despite having a cast operating at an Oscar award level the script never feels real. Or even something that Song wrote. Weirdly conventional and feeling like an attempt to intice the Academy into giving her an award the film feels less like a singular voice in film and theater and just a product turned out byt the Hollywood machine
