I'm at that point in my life where I saw Monstro Elisasue on the big screen and I still said 'she can fix me'.
The Substance explores an aged actress's desperate attempt at recapturing the youth she lost in order to still feel the spotlight of Hollywood, ignoring the consequences of the experiment she becomes a part of. The premise might sound familiar and simple, but let me tell you that Elizabeth's story about obsession and the impossible trails women…
While other countries are busy supporting their promising home grown talents, my country somehow decided to ignore one of the most groundbreaking movies in the history of Indian independent cinema. And if there's anything to say after seeing the opening film selection of this year's IFFI, it's that our country is going downhill in terms of supporting our passionate filmmakers.
Payal Kapadia's critically acclaimed tale about people lost in time follows two malayalee nurses, Prabha and Anu as they traverse…

As someone who became invested in writing from playing Assassin's Creed games, alternate reality stories have always been of special interest to me. So it's no wonder why Jofin T. Chacko's sophomore venture appealed to me, a story about a murder buried under during the production of the popular Bharathan movie 'Kaathodu Kaathoram'. While the investigation itself feels very formulaic and the antagonists are mostly…
My man Anurag Kashyap spoke Malayalam better than Shalini Unnikrishnan, Deepti Suresh in 'Manassilaayo' and whatever that song in 'Baby John' is supposed to be, combined. Mr. Kashyap if you're reading this, just don't leave the south. We'll take care of you.
I figured this movie would be all style and no substance anyway so I went in just for the vibe. Turns out Ashiq Abu delivered a fun, laid back experience in the first half that doesn't take itself…
