From the Red Bull-Red Auerbach to the Gilded Cage of Industry, this week’s releases are all about the making of legends.
Kneecap, the Belfast hip-hop troupe, is not your average, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter boy band. Oh no, these lads are the real deal, and their latest film, directed by Rich Peppiatt, is a wild ride that’s equal parts A Hard Day’s Night and The Beatles, with a dash of political commentary thrown in for good measure.
The film’s got it all: charisma, talent, and a healthy dose of provocation. The lads are flexible, charismatic actors who can hold their own, even when the plot gets a bit wonky. And let’s not forget the politics – it’s a powerful exploration of privilege, power, and the struggles of the working class.
But Kneecap’s not the only game in town this week. We’ve also got It Ends with Us, a drama that’s all about the intergenerational nature of domestic violence. It’s a tough subject, but the film handles it with care and sensitivity, thanks in no small part to the talents of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
And then there’s Tuesday, a quirky little number about a woman who sells taxidermy figurines on the side. It’s a weird and wonderful film, with a star-making performance from Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Death is personified as a shape-shifting macaw, because why not?
Last but not least, we’ve got Borderlands, a noisy, unpretentious, and unexpectedly starry adaptation of the popular videogame. It’s a wild ride, with Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black all along for the ride.
So there you have it – this week’s releases are all about making legends, whether it’s through hip-hop, drama, or just plain old weirdness.
