1 week ago | globalcomment.com | Philippa Willitts

High on her own success as a criminal defence barrister, Tessa Jane Ensler has the arrogance of someone who excels in her role. Someone who has fought her way to success.

The slowness was the point: White Lotus season 3 review

2 weeks ago | globalcomment.com | Natalia Antonova

The third season of Mike White’s White Lotus is concluded, and both the nuanced think pieces and complaints have rolled in.

“The kind of film that sticks with you”: Mickey 17 review

3 weeks ago | globalcomment.com | Mark Farnsworth

There’s something uniquely unsettling about the idea of being disposable. Not just in a philosophical sense — we all feel replaceable sometimes — but in a literal, zero-hour, printed-on-your-contract kind of way. Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 takes this concept and runs with it, crafting a sci-fi film that’s equal parts existential crisis, corporate satire, and Philip K. Dick paranoia-soaked action-thriller.
