Ester posted a review for Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) in Movies
The theme of the film is very good, the idea of renouncing what you love is really interesting especially for someone like Diana. Gal Gadot is great as Wonder Woman and her dynamic with Chris Pines' character really does carry this film. Pedro Pascal was also good in the film too. The main issue for me was with its character developments, especially Kristen Wiig's' cheetah. I don't think her character as well as some of the other characters showed the right amount of development especially to justify what they do by the 3rd act of the film. The final scenes of the film for me didn't have that heavy, emotional weight that I think they were going to match the heavy underlying theme of the film. I also thought that there were issues with the continuity and I have to say I was underwhelmed with the final fight scenes. All in all, I thought that the film had its moments. I enjoyed what they were trying to pull off but I do have some issues with the execution. I do still think this is a fun film to watch.

Ester posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
This is Bollywood's first ever attempt to create a meta film of this scale and boy this is interesting. For sure the film is something which is not seen on Indian screens for now and it is totally entertaining. The script is tightly knitted. Anil Kapoor's performance is out of the park. The cinematography is unique, intelligently crafted long shots are not something which is Bollywood is known for nor does the audience have a particular appetite for them, yet they create a long lasting impression on the audience.

Ester posted a review for The Croods: A New Age (2020) in Movies
I liked the movie, I thought it was funny and has humor in it that everyone of all ages can enjoy, just an overall good movie. The plot is good and not confusing. I would rate it an 8/10 but there was just a lot of forced humor and it was kind of strange at the end. The story line was a little off from the first movie but I think that is fine because it was just little things. Definitely not as good as the first movie just because the end almost ruined the whole movie for me, it was extremely cheesy, but that is just my opinion, I am sure that if I were a child I would say differently.I liked the humor in this film, I was laughing pretty much the whole way through it. I liked the plot and how the Bettermans and the Croods have to eventually work as a team. I liked some of the modern references and how they took modern stuff and old caveman stuff and combined it to make an excellent movie.

Ester posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
I was sceptical about all the praises which this show was earning but when I tried it myself, I approve of all the terrific reviews it has received. The show is brilliantly made, the team has done an admirable job and the casting is just so nice. All the actors have delivered an incredible and persuasive performance which is entitled to applause. The background music, the dialogues, the unsaid words which arise on the screen, all the nuances when beautifully clubbed together brings about this masterpiece which leaves you in awe, out of words and forces you think about everything that transpired. It's a very well made show and deserves to be seen, particularly by those who have lived the late 80s and 90s period.

Ester posted a review for Serious Men (2020) in Movies
Based on the book by "Manu Joseph" of the same name, Serious men deals with the problems of insecurity & timidity of a father for his son. Nawaz brings that uncanny charm to his character as an underprivileged-middle aged Dalit. He has angst against everyone in the society, from the peon to the supervisor. Serious men offers very sharp annotation against racism, casteism, politics, media culture & favoritism with its witty as well as satirical sequences. Sudhir Mishra brings his experience.
