Silver Screen Weekly - What's Coming Up At The Cinema From Friday 13 January 2023
From Friday 13th January
Wait a minute Chucky, hold your strings Puppet Master crew, keep quiet Annabelle, because there's a new killer doll in town and her name is M3GAN! Director Gerard Johnstone’s M3GAN is a campy, exhilarating and creepy horror thriller from producer James Wan and writer Akela Cooper, that sees young Cady (Violet McGraw) given a pioneering new AI robot doll M3gan (Amie Donald; voiced by Jenna Davis) as a new friend, but soon there seems to be something a little wrong with her...This is the movie everyone is talking about, scoring critical acclaim and being called the first best film contender of 2023, with a horror icon being born for a new generation in the process.
Todd Field’s acclaimed, timely and complex drama stars a brilliant Cate Blanchett, in one of her greatest ever performances, as conductor Lydia Tár, as the film depicts her towering place at the head of a major German orchestra, but presents her monumental downfall. Tár is a realistic, confrontational and powerful depiction of power, allegation and career annihilation. The legendary Martin Scorsese recently called the movie "a piece of film that lifted the cloud over modern cinema." High praise indeed for this outstanding awards season frontrunner.
