15 Movies You’ll Be Talking About This Awards Season
As Rudy Ray Moore, a struggling musician/comic/showman who transformed himself into an underground comedy legend, Eddie Murphy has never had a better, richer showcase for his enormous talents, full stop.tracks how, in the 1970s, Moore reworked the tall-tale, rhyming shit talk of his local neighborhood vagrants into a hilariously profane comic persona, and then used the proceeds from his popular comedy records to bankroll a feature film based on his act.
It’s all enormously funny, but Murphy also brings surprising depth to Moore’s striving, which evokes the harder truths about what compels him to tell the kinds of stories about black lives that no one else is telling. Like so many Netflix productions, it runs a bit too long. But still, this movie is — to use Moore’s parlance — a motherfucking delight. —A.B.V.
Bong Joon-ho's latest film is a tale of two houses. The one inhabited by the Kim family is a cluttered basement apartment with an awkwardly placed toilet and a window offering a front-row seat to the public urination attempted by passing drunks. The one belonging to the Park family is an immaculately designed modern mansion that's raised and walled off from the street, an airy urban oasis complete with a lush lawn.
To say anything more would ruin the pleasure of watching a masterful movie that ratchets up tension and unease without ever giving away where its semi-absurd scenario could be heading. Whenstarts, it feels like it could be a blackly funny parable about class, with the Kims positioned as lovable outsiders scraping together a living any way they can, up to and including lying to the Parks about their qualifications.
