Garnering a cult following of millions, RRR has been one of cinema’s great success stories of 2022 as a rousing hit of adventure and excitement. With its over-the-top, fun-loving fabulousness, it may come as little surprise that the three-hour-long epic following two of India’s most renowned revolutionaries is a little exaggerated. While this is ea...
More interested in speculation and conspiracy theorizing than the facts, Blonde was always designed to be a heavily fictionalized look at the life of Marilyn Monroe (Ana De Armas) rather than an earnest biopic. Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ fictional novel of the same name, it presents an interesting look into the private life of one of Hollywood’s g...
With a stellar cast and a tone which swiftly blends comedy with espionage tension, Amsterdam is a trademark David O. Russell picture. Telling the remarkable true story of the ‘Business Plot’, it centers on a plot to see fascism rise to power in 1930s America and how the scheme was brought undone by an unlikely trio of WWI friends. While the film’s ...
A spellbinding historical epic which showcases Viola Davis in all her glory, The Woman King earned critical acclaim and will likely feature prominently at the Oscars. That doesn’t mean it was accurate, however, as much of the film at best cherry-picks its history to form a narrative worth telling. In actual fact, the Agoje and the Kingdom of Dahome...
Baz Lurhmann’s extravagant biopic is heavy on the glitz and glamour as is the director’s trademark. However, Elvis, as far as dramatized biopics go at least, does a good job of staying true to the facts even as it leans into creative interpretation to tell Elvis Presley’s life story inside three hours. This isn’t to say that everything in the film ...
While taking the tone of a historical action thriller may be misguided, Emancipation does deserve credit for being a largely accurate depiction of Gordon's, aka Whipped Peter, escape from slavery. After being whipped so harshly he had to spend two months recovering, Peter (Will Smith) flees a Louisiana plantation, eluding slavers and their bloodhou...
As one of the most faithful adaptations of Erich Maria Remarque’s WWI novel, Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front is a grueling war film which is at its best when depicting the hell that was the Western Front. While the story’s main characters are fictitious, its aggressive anti-war sentiment is steeped in painful, real-life details of the fron...
Robert Eggers has proved himself as a director who takes great pleasure in blurring the line between reality and myth, but his settings have always been grounded in a dedication to historical accuracy. The Northman was no different, re-imagining the Norse legend of Prince Amleth (which would later inspire Hamlet)as he seeks to avenge his father and...
The truth is often stranger than fiction, as shown in John Madden’s WWII drama Operation Mincemeat. It follows two British intelligence officers who, in 1943, comprised a plan to have a dead body dressed in officer uniform wash up upon the Spanish shore with false documents pertaining to an allied invasion of Greece rather than their intended targe...
One of the most powerful films to come out in 2022, Till follows Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler) as she strives for justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till (Jalyn Hall), who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. In addition to Deadwyler’s exceptional performance, the film finds much of its emotional power in its basis in hard facts. Based...
