Paul Greengrass’ The Uprising takes viewers deep into 14th-century England, moving from rural settlements to crowded city streets as Andrew Garfield’s Ploughman becomes caught up in the Peasants’ Revolt. Yet much of the medieval England seen on screen was created hundreds of miles away from the places where the real uprising unfolded. The Uprising was…
The Uprising surrounds Andrew Garfield’s Ploughman with several people who really belonged to the political upheaval of 1381. Wat Tyler, John Ball and the young King Richard II all come from the historical record, which makes it easy to assume the movie’s central character must also have a direct real-life counterpart. That is not the…
Paul Greengrass spends most of The Uprising keeping Andrew Garfield’s protagonist grounded in the harsh realities of 1381 England. Ploughman is not introduced as a legendary warrior or famous outlaw. He is an ordinary farmer who has already endured enormous personal loss and gradually becomes caught up in a movement much larger than himself. That…
Long before “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Midnight Mass” and “Doctor Sleep” made Mike Flanagan one of the most recognizable names in modern horror, he built an entire movie around an antique mirror. The Lasser Glass is the supernatural centerpiece of 2014’s “Oculus,” but its screen career did not end when Tim Russell was taken…
Mike Flanagan’s “Oculus” has found a fresh audience after arriving on Netflix in the US on September 24, 2026, but the movie remains just as effective at confusing viewers more than a decade after its original release. Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites play Kaylie and Tim Russell, siblings whose very different memories of a childhood…
“The Breadwinner” sends Mandy Moore into an unusually convincing version of reality television when Katie Wilcox takes her homemade Star Minder onto “Shark Tank.” The product is simple enough to look plausible: a star-shaped organizational tool with customizable reminder tabs that parents and children can use to keep track of everyday tasks. The pitch then…
Nate Bargatze did not have to look particularly far for the central joke in “The Breadwinner.” The comedian co-wrote the family comedy with Dan Lagana and plays Nate Wilcox, a successful car salesman who discovers how little he actually knows about the daily logistics of his children’s lives once his wife Katie leaves town to…
“The Breadwinner” begins with Nate Wilcox believing he already understands what makes his family work. He earns the paycheck, sells more Toyotas than anyone at his dealership and assumes Katie’s ability to manage their three daughters and the house comes almost naturally. That confidence is tested when Katie’s Star Minder invention earns an opportunity on…
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I begins the anime’s final conflict with the Demon Slayer Corps scattered across Muzan Kibutsuji’s stronghold. The film focuses on three major confrontations with years of personal history behind them, which also means the first chapter of the trilogy comes with several important character losses. For viewers trying…
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I moves the anime into its final battlefield, but the first film is not built around a confrontation with Muzan Kibutsuji. Instead, it separates the Demon Slayer Corps across the shifting Infinity Castle and gives its biggest emotional weight to three personal clashes: Shinobu Kocho against Doma, Zenitsu…
Peacock’s “Kill. Bury. Print.” is an investigative documentary about a small Oklahoma newspaper that found itself at the center of the story it was covering. Directed by Ben Klein and produced in association with Rachel Maddow, the film follows the Willingham family and the McCurtain Gazette as their reporting on the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office…
No One Leaves turns an ordinary dinner invitation into an increasingly uncomfortable night on two neighboring farms. Nicole Dionne stars as Meredith, a woman living a quiet country life with her husband when a neighbor invites them over for dinner and introduces a young woman as his visiting niece. The explanation initially sounds ordinary, but…
