George Miller remains a master craftsman of bloody petrol-punk visuals, but this mythology-stuffed Furiosa backstory can’t match the momentum of Fury Road.

“The Substance, it should be said, makes for a thrilling watch, despite its indulgent runtime. But the film’s ideological ambitions feel slight, and Fargeat cannot quite mount a coherent argument.”
Kelli Weston reviews The Substance from #cannes2024 bfi.org.uk/sight-and-soun…

Wrote about Miguel Gomes’s Grand Tour, my current highlight of the Cannes Competition, for Sight and Sound magazine: bfi.org.uk/sight-and-soun…
Miguel Gomes elegantly bridges 100 years of film history with an experimental, time-bending colonial-era story of a British civil servant trying to outrun his persistent fiancé.

Big *did we watch the same movie* vibes here. Furiosa is such a dud— here’s my Sight and Sound magazine review

Amanda Nell Eu’s inventive debut about a young girl’s ‘monstrous’ transformation belongs to a proud lineage of both Malaysian folklore and coming-of-age films that externalise the onset of female puberty.
