https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047834/ ANIMAL FARM (1954) A fairly faithful if simplified adaptation. Right up until the last scene, in a creative choice that is baffling. Or maybe I’ve been reading ANIMAL FARM wrong all these years.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10731256/ DON’T WORRY DARLING (2022) - A good, creepy take on Stepford Wives, TRUMAN SHOW etc for the age of Incels and Tradwives. Not sure about Harry Styles tho
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1068680/ YES MAN (2008) Entirely predictable adherence to the Romcom formula. Funny because Jim Carrey is a funny man. Zooey Deschanel refining her Manic Pixie Dream Girl persona. Early Bradley Cooper in the ‘best friend’ role.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14537248/ NEFARIOUS (2023) - The Catholic Christian ideology felt heavy-handed to me but I’m sure that’s also true of a lot of films with ideologies I am more sympathetic to. The acting was great, I thought.
