IR Film Review: CRIME 101 [Amazon MGM]
The intention of "Crime 101" is a 2020s form of a Los Angeles crime story but on a baseline level. With a great cast it follows a character based cross-section that we used to see a lot more but mostly has been relegated to TV and smaller actors simply because the medium has evolved. That said it is great seeing these bigger actors doing this kind of crime thriller set in Los Angeles like a modern film noir. One can tell Chris Hemsworth likes this style of movie but probably doesn't get as much of a chance as likely sometimes being Thor can limit the possibilities outside the core.
IR Film Review: DIE MY LOVE [MUBI]
The intention of "Die My Love" from director Lynn Ramsey skirts the idea between reality and the metaphorical nature of being. The film mostly follows Grace played by Jennifer Lawrence. Grace is a wild spirit but like anyone sees the path to settle down with Jackson (Robert Pattinson) but as often in life, things don't go as they should.
