David Cronenberg’s first foray into ‘straight’ filmmaking is at once a warts-and-all love letter to the experience of the drag strip (he’s apparently a petrolhead, go figure), a gritty wannabe conspiracy thriller, and a tacky, sleaze-ball action comedy of the type that was all too common in its era. This was made the same year as The Brood and it rounds out a picture of the director’s, well, not exactly enlightened attitude towards women that certainly tinges his later works in a more sickly light. The stunts are great, though. More…

Totally watchable but ultimately slight, DVD-extra-standard documentary on Madison, Wisconsin’s most famous landmark. Probably. More…

I feel this is being mis-sold as a psychological drama as it’s not nearly as harrowing as the phrase implies. Anna Kendrick’s Alice, severely stressed by her manipulative partner, is whisked away to a lakeside house for a friend’s birthday weekend that turns into an intervention of sorts to rescue Alice from her abusive relationship. Theres’s certainly verisimilitude in the choice not to make the bad guy’s behaviour cartoonishly monstrous; he’s the kind of basic controlling arsehole, with that straight-out-of-the-misogynist’s-manual negging shit, that most women lured into such situations would recognise, so I expect that to resonate. But it makes for a film with little in the way of story or drama to sustain feature length. More…

Baby Cronenberg’s most derivative flick yet. What if Sundown were crossed with Us, with a twist of A Serbian Film? The answer is this mess, I guess. Meanwhile, Mia Goth is well on the way to overexposure à la Freddy in the ’80s. More…
