Welcome back to this mini-series of reviews of the feature films* of revered filmmaker Denis Villeneuve in the lead-up to his latest film Arrival. This sixth review in the series is for his film from just last year, Sicario.

Movie Review: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

Rachel (Emily Blunt) is a divorcée, an alcoholic, and a depressed woman who is struggling to keep in touch with life. She takes the train for the city every day and comes back in the evenings with the same train. She always sits in the same place and in order to have the best view on Megan (Haley Bennett), a girl who lives in a house Rachel passes by every day and over whom she is unhealthily obsessed.

I will stop there because I would consider anything more than that a spoiler for the film and if you have yet to read or watch anything about this film I would recommend to anyone to do as I did and go in completely blind because I had a blast with this mystery film.

Movie Review: THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR

A really uninspiring piece of storytelling, that wastes a lot of potential goods in a really messy fantasy picture that never manages to find a voice or a tonal coherence. Looking at the cast involved you cannot keep yourself from calling this a disappointment, even if its predecessor didn’t really make us wish for this, nor was it a quality film.
