Set in 1858, Victorian Psycho follows Winifred, a governess hired by the privileged and awful Pounds family to educate their children, Andrew and Drusilla, at their country estate, Ensor House. She has a resume that’s impressive on paper, but it omits the carnage previously left in her wake. Holding on to a dangerous secret, her arrival at Ensor House does little to improve her behavior.
How to Rob a Bank concerns a crew of charismatic Gen-Z and millennial thieves who turn their exploits into easily digestible YouTube content, to the delight of millions. Their channel is called “Who’s Hungry?” They wear wolf masks.
After a long career destabilizing governments at home and abroad, CIA operative Chris Carlisle (John Malkovich) has received a terminal cancer diagnosis and knows he has fewer days ahead than behind. The 1973 coup that ousted democratically elected Marxist Salvador Allende and installed the ruthless, CIA-backed Augusto Pinochet is going to be Carlisle’s swan song. He’s been the Leonard Zelig of political assassinations for over a generation, but not even Kissinger lived forever.
Once upon a time, in a village far, far away, there was a lonely Fisherwoman, a spinster isolated from her community for being viewed as unattractive, smelly, and altogether undesirable. That is until she approaches the Basket Weaver and asks him to craft her a husband made of wicker. Soon she is the happiest woman in the entire village (and certainly the most sexually satisfied).
A Talent for Murder, a sly (if slight) psychological thriller about a young man in publishing who travels to Switzerland to try to convince Highsmith (played by Helen Mirren) to write a sixth book in her “Ripliad” series near the end of her life. For the uninitiated, the Ripliad consists of five novels featuring Tom Ripley, Highsmith’s charming, amoral, occasionally murderous antihero.
Pity poor Klara, she’s a B1 AF (artificial friend) and the store across the street is selling B3s that can do anything B1s can do, only better. The B3s are better looking, more agile, don’t lose their balance whenever they go outdoors, and will probably not be found standing like a flamingo at any random moment. Obsolescence, like death, comes for us all, but it is often injudicious about scheduling.
For some inexplicable reason, TV star Nathan Fielder (along with veteran documentarian Lance Oppenheim) was given almost unlimited access to Elizabeth Holmes and her boyfriend Billy Evans, an heir to the Evans Hotels hospitality group and tech entrepreneur, in their San Diego rental home. He is an omnipresent figure in the Evans-Holmes household and it’s a bit unsettling when we see him looking on during unguarded moments. The result is one jaw-dropping moment after another.
This film flits somewhere between the absurd and the ridiculous, while somehow remaining predictable. This movie, directed by Michael Showalter, is flawed (and often embarrassingly so) but has something going for it: Anne Hathaway is fully committed to the part.
