CINEMA FOR THE PEOPLE

Challenge of the Lady Ninja is never boring. Not for one second. It is sleazy, incoherent, historically illiterate, and edited with a machete, but Lee Tso-Nam understood the assignment at some primal level.

For the umpteenth time, Waititi adapts from an acclaimed novel that ends one of two ways: praise or disaster. The latter unfortunately applies to Klara as it becomes a visually appealing albeit saccharine flop, both artistically and commercially.

The Heretiks is a movie that feels familiar, something from the past that we’ve lost in today’s movie landscape.
