Every Martin Scorsese film is worth watching, and one we d like to see get more attention is 2010 s
Shutter Island – a dark and brooding neo-noir that s sure to surprise you. Leonardo DiCaprio is really riveting as Teddy Daniels, a U.S. marshal who comes to an isolated psychiatric hospital to investigate a supposedly missing patient. But the case is far more complicated than anyone could initially guess. The hospital has seemingly endless secrets . and soon, Teddy can t even trust himself. We heartily second Roger Ebert s review of the film, which says, That s what the movie is about: atmosphere, ominous portents, the erosion of Teddy s confidence and even his identity. It s all done with flawless directorial command.
Zendaya and John David Washington in Malcolm & Marie.
Of the movies made during the pandemic thus far, âMalcolm & Marieâ is probably the one with the highest profile. In September, Netflix paid an astounding $30 million to acquire the film, which debuted Friday in an apparent bid for awards-season recognition.Â
âMalcolm & âMarieâ begins with its title couple arriving at their palatial California rental home. Malcolm (John David Washington) is a director whose new movie just had a rapturous premiere. Heâs on cloud nine, reveling in the praise and mocking white sycophantsâ performative fawning. Marie (Zendaya), meanwhile, is not so charmed. Despite having lifted details of Marieâs former drug addiction for his film, Malcolm forgot to thank her during a speech, inflaming a fundamental issue in their relationship. What follows is a long, stormy exchange about art, Hollywood and what partners owe each other.Â
