When asked to name the directors whose latest films I want to see instantly, it’s a prompt that doesn’t elicit much reaction from me, as I am happy to see so many different filmmakers’ work. Now, when considering true event filmmakers, the directors who are just as likely as the stars to bring in the audiences, there really only are a handful. Right now, coming alongside the Nolans and Tarantinos, I think there’s a good argument to make for Ryan Coogler.

It feels like Jason Statham is one of our only true modern A-list action stars who is not burdened by holding that title. Statham seems content with staying in a lane that suits him, not concerning himself with sequels that have to up the ante on previous entries, or letting age get to him (as long as he comes out with barely a scratch on him). It also feels like he must have been thrilled to bring together his friends Sylvester Stallone and David Ayer for A Working Man.

Back in 2018, A Simple Favor surprised pretty much everyone, including director Paul Feig. The well-reviewed film was a decent box office hit, and a few years later, it gained a whole new life thanks to streaming. While a sequel was never initially planned, the modest box office success combined with the film’s resurgence on streaming led to Another Simple Favor being greenlit. I want to begin my review by saying that I was thoroughly surprised by how much I loved A Simple Favor.

It’s been a long wait to see director Bong Joon-ho deliver a follow-up to his Oscar-winning film Parasite, but it was worth it. Mickey 17 may not feel like a new direction for anyone familiar with the filmmaker’s work, but that’s hardly an issue when watching one of the great modern filmmakers being handed a sizable budget to make a gleefully cynical science fiction comedy.

Passion projects and gambling on one’s self is not new for Oscar-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Megalopolis is his largest directorial effort in over two decades, and it’s been made thanks to a sizable investment on his own part. The results? Well, an ambitious, epic sci-fi drama coming from a director who has always been willing to push boundaries and stray from easy choices, there’s little doubt the film won’t prove to be divisive. Challenging, sure, but easily accepted by audiences?
