Vice (2018)

Christian Bale unrecognisably transforms into Dick Cheney, and is ably supported by Steve Carell, Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell to tell us about the most powerful Vice President in the history of the USA. Directed by Adam McKay, the film is edited in a way where the audience has to keep pace with it, with a novel mid-movie jest and many moments which question not only the politics but the methods employed to succeed by presidents past (and in that light the present as well). A brilliant docu-drama with many perspectives and insights which tell us how carefully we have to pick and support our leaders.

4/5

Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

Full of anger, grief and frustration, director Martin McDonagh presents an unlikely premise in a wretched scenario.

The small town of Ebbing has had a terrible incident, but months later, it still remains unsolved. The mother, poetically played by Frances McDormand, seeks justice, and thinks of a unique way to get attention, and some answers.

What unravels is the unsettling police police department, a helpless Woody Harrelson and a violent Sam Rockwell, who add to the despair in their own ways.

A raw and unapologetic story where there is no respite, and the audience comes out seeking answers to questions they didn’t know they had.

Brilliant performances!

3.5/5
