Nancy posted a review for The Boys - Season 2 (Web Series 2020) in Movies

I really love it on every aspect. The season two is a masterpiece, who would think that you'd find the most sensible and complex analyse of current society and trends in an amazing superpower show. I would advice to really pay attention to what it says, it really talks to all of us encouraging us to think more deeply, it encourages us to be smart, to use our brains. Use the time between each episode to think about it because there is a way more to it than a good fun story, great actors and artistic direction.

Nancy posted a review for Mulan (2020) in Movies

Mulan is a visual fest, and nothing more. It's a bland, lifeless mess of a film with watered down stakes, poor characters, no humour, and no heart. If anything, it's showing just how masterful the 1998 animation is. Mulan was just an ordinary girl, who went on to do extraordinary things, burdened by societal constrictions and driven by love, loyalty and honour. But this version of Mulan is wooden and hollow. There is no weight to her decisions, no urgency because she is the chosen one. And although Disney has proclaimed this to be an empowering film for women, applying the 'chosen one' archetype to the female lead is a funny way if promoting female empowerment . If anything, it's disparaging, disheartening and huge step back compared to it's predecessor.

Nancy posted a review for Tenet (2020) in Movies

Best comeback of Christopher Nolan after Dunkirk. It's marvelous. The fresh inversion concept is simply outstanding. The performances are great. John David Washington is excellent and Robert Pattinson is cool minded done a mature performance and rest of the cast have done a superb job. The cinematography is super. Some scenes are simply breath taking. It's a visual treat. The action is also very good.

Nancy posted a review for Shakuntala Devi (2020) in Movies

Based on the life journey of profoundly known Human computer aka Shakuntala Devi, the film tries to fit in her 84 glorious years in 120 minutes screen time. The film stabs to touch major life milestones of her life from her genius mathematics career to conflict with her own daughter and to her dilemma in life to her flawed rapport with her husband. But the film fails to bring out her psyche, mental vows and keeps spinning around her analogous achievements throughout. Many of her vital scenes are mere caricaturist portrayal to make it look breezy and to reflect her sense of humor with no depth in it. No doubt Balan tries hard with her accents, body language, hiatuses but still the film lacks in clarity of thought.

Nancy posted a review for Gulabo Sitabo in Movies

Gulabo Sitabo is a well - crafted satirical film with a picturesquely crumbling mansion at its center. It's a film rich in details, be it the characters, relationships, desires, lust, insecurities or the ploy. Amitabh Bachchan plays the grouchy 'Mirza' with a character actor's delicacy and attention to detail. Ayushmann Khurrana once again brings something new to the table with his body language, which portrays sadness and bitterness borne out of poverty. Vijay Raaz is effortless as ever, and Brijendra Kala is also terrific. Shrishti Shrivastava deserves a special mention. Last but not the least, Farrukh Jafar is an absolute delight to watch. Despite few dull moments and a bit slow, the film manager to string all the loose ends well together in the end. The thoughtfully well-written songs in the backdrop add texture to the film. In short, the film explores different traits of the mortals with an underlying message through a simple, quirky and enchanting story in a subtly humorous way. In case you miss it, the director's nonchalant reference of the chair depicts it all in the end.
