Longing movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert
Jun 7, 2024 · Longing. "Longing" is a remake of an award-winning Israeli film by the same writer/director, Savi Gabizon. It could just as well be called "Grief," or perhaps the Portuguese term "Saudade," sometimes described as the feeling of loss for something you never had and never will.

It’s What’s Inside movie review (2024) | Roger Ebert
Oct 4, 2024 · The film excellently captures the uneasy feeling of a former friend group reuniting. All the joy of memory lane comes back, but with it creeps the recollection of disagreements and Band-Aids of wounds that no longer stick to the skin. When college is over and life moves on, the people we become away from the context and identity of school can ...
Joker: Folie à Deux movie review (2024) - Roger Ebert
Oct 3, 2024 · What set me off was the film's climax, in which Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck, now gone almost full Joker, appears on a late-night talk show hosted by glib showman Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro).

Blitz movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert
Oct 11, 2024 · Written and directed by McQueen, "Blitz" explores more than the emotional and physical tensions of the era. It also uncovers the racial prejudices in Britain at the time, a theme he also examined in his impressive "Small Axe" series. As a young biracial boy, George is mercilessly teased by white bullies because he looks different.
