The President's Cake
(2025)
|
Sarah Vincent
|
The President’s Cake may remind one of A Serious Man in which the protagonist is almost in an existential siege. For Hadi, he lets Lamia and the audience begin to relax though still forever changed before he lets the other shoe drop.

GOAT
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent
|
Is it too early to declare "GOAT" the best kids’ movie of the year? Judging from the loud cheers in the audience and tears welling up from some rude person choosing to cut onions in the theater, it does not feel premature.

Who knew that the world needed a satire about society using a local poetry center as the main location and a nebbish, alcoholic poet who had not published in ages as the protagonist?

"Dracula" is for the unconditional vampire lovers who love a little camp, a lot of weird and a just the right amount of blood. Jones and Bleu bring sexy back to vampires.

It is a more realistic take on the glossy, revenge focused anti-colonialist movies such as "RRR" (2022) and largely adheres to nothing but the facts.

With an almost three-hour runtime that feels as if it ends too soon, Americans got cheated because of the lack of a wider release and is not yet available for home viewing. It is a riveting journey of one artist’s lifetime of dedication and love.

Visually it deserves the big screen treatment. Narrative-wise, it is a matinee or wait until it streams. If you can relate to any of the characters, the lemon will be worth the squeeze.

As a romcom, "Aropia" is fine, but if it had stayed the course as a character study of an actor who does not fit the demographic that gets auditions and is in love with her craft, it would have been brilliant.
