New Life (2023)
Wow.....
This is a great movie. What struck me particularly is the great writing and direction. It's a very spare movie that cuts all the excess that slows and spoils so many movies. You end up feeling for both the leads and that's really unusual and clever. It's also a very pertinent movie, considering we just came out of a pharmaceutically-created pandemic. This movie really impressed me, and it's stunning if this is the director's first movie. And, no, it's not a stupid zombie movie. If that is what you are looking for then look elsewhere. Although a pretty bleak movie, it's also a celebration of life and humanity.
Old Man (2022)
Well-acted but sadly very predictable
This could really have been a short film as it was way too predictable. Steven Lang gave a really great, scary performance but that doesn't overcome the fact that the outcome is pretty obvious from the outset. I imagine that the plot came from a short story but this movie was way too long and i kinda felt cheated by the resolution as i was desperately hoping it would be more complex than i thought. It wasn't; it isn't. Darn glad i didn't pay to see this at the box-office. Apparently this review is too short to submit even though i have seen much shorter so i will finish it with this rubbish to get enough charaters....ridiculous.
