Venice 2015: ‘Looking for Grace’ review
★★★☆☆ Cut-up family tragicomedy Looking for Grace (2015) is Sue Brooks’ fifth feature film and premièred in competition at the Venice Film Festival today....
The 31st Filmfest Hamburg, held from 28 September to 7 October, features a global lineup with highlights from different regions, including a subset of Ukrainian films due to the ongoing war. Titles include Timm Kröger’s The Theory of Everything, Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things.
★★★★☆ Following Agnieszka Holland’s land-bound refugee tale Green Border earlier this week, Matteo Garrone’s new film Io Capitano departs geographically further south and takes its characters on an epic journey which involves land and sea. But its direction and terrain are not the only difference here.
★★★★☆ The ‘multiverse’ is one of the worst concepts to enter storytelling since Victoria Principal woke up in Dallas and discovered it had all been a dream. And so it’s weird to find yourself in a universe where the concept finally gets a decent cinematic treatment in Timm Kröger’s The Theory of Everything, not to be confused with Eddie Redmayne’s black hole.
