If you thought the world of cinema had run out of questionable portrayals of culture, think again! Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez arrives with all the grace of a hippo on a tightrope, attempting to navigate the complex realities of Mexican culture through a haze of clichés and half-baked musical numbers.
Elevation, the latest post-apocalyptic action thriller directed by George Nolfi, I was hoping for an engaging adventure that would blend tactical survival with emotional stakes. After all, the film stars Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin, both actors known for their compelling performances. Unfortunately, what unfolded before me was a cinematic trainwreck of boredom, confusion, and missed opportunities.
