Noelle (2019)
Tumblr media
Thanks to the ever-charming Anna Kendrick and some neat gags, Noelle is a pleasant watch. Will anyone remember it down the line? Even if Hollywood didn’t crank out innumerable Christmas specials every year, I don't think so. Still, you could do far worse.
Five months after their father has passed away, Noelle (Anna Kendrick) and Nick Kringle (Bill Hader) are having difficulty getting ready for Christmas. While detecting whether children are naughty or nice, flying the sleigh, and sliding down the chimney comes easily to Noelle, it’s Nick’s job to be the next Santa. When he elopes to Phoenix, Arizona and everyone at the North Pole blames her, Noelle and her childhood nanny Polly (Shirley MacLaine) go track him down. Meanwhile, Nick’s absence has forced the council of elf elders to appoint his cousin, tech-geek Gabriel (Billy Eichner), as the new-new replacement Santa.
You can foresee exactly where this story is going. It’s pretty obvious but that’s fine. Most Christmas-themed movies choreograph their final destination early on. In fact, seeing Kendrick as the new mascot of December 25th would be kind of nice. Who says Santa has to be a man? You might say history - since Saint Nicholas is based on a real person - but not in this movie! Not only is there no talk of Jesus' birthday or any of that, but this movie takes it a step further by claiming the Clauses have been flying around the world and handing out gifts to good children for over 2,000 years. I guess B.C. must stand for “Before Claus” in this universe. Not that I’m suggesting there’s any kind of agenda at hand; this movie's only objective is to be the new hotness to be watched during the 2019 holiday season and then get replaced by something else in 12 months.
But let’s not linger on the negatives. Overall, it’s a cheery (though not a musical, disappointingly) film. The film’s main conflict concerns Noelle and a private detective named Jake Hapman (Kingsley Ben-Adir), as they search for her brother. He doesn’t believe Nick’s the real Santa (in any movie no adults ever do; it’s an unofficial rule) but she’s so ignorant of the way the world works he begins suspecting her stories may be true. A little magic would certainly help him give his son, Alex (Maceo Smedley), get the holiday he desires. The scenes in which Noelle reaches out to ordinary people and does her best to fulfill their wishes are the film’s best. They’re sweet and combined with the actress's natural charisma, it’s hard not to crack a smile.
Noelle makes good use of its stars’ talent, has a fair number of laughs, and brings something sorta new to the equation by putting a lady in Santa's boots. It’s fine for little kids but the older you get, the more you’ll find yourself comparing it to truly well-thought-out, creative holiday endeavors. I guess it’s ok if you’re just looking for something to pass the time during the festive season. (December 13, 2020)

movies i watched in 2019 ⇢ KRAMPUS (2015)
I knew Saint Nicholas was not coming this year. Instead it was a much darker, more ancient spirit. The shadow of Saint Nicholas. It was Krampus. And as he had for thousands of years, Krampus came not to reward, but to punish. Not to give, but to take. But Krampus didn't take me that night. He left me as a reminder of what happens when hope is lost, when belief is forgotten and the Christmas spirit dies.

Joker’s Odyssey
Tumblr media
“Joker’s Odyssey” (A Film Review) by Adam Wękarski
“Joker” is one of the most psychologically complex & artistically provocative films ever made. Todd Phillips directs his best film to date (commonly known for his work in directing comedies) in a staggering contrast to his typical work. This film is undoubtedly Phillips’ masterpiece. This film takes a gigantic leap forward in the direction that Christopher Nolan & Heath Ledger’s Joker had initiated 11 years ago in “The Dark Knight.” This movie is an enigmatic tragicomedy that pulls no punches.
Joaquin Phoenix deserves an oscar for his performance as the lead character. Count on Joaquin-frikkin’-Phoenix to be the only other actor who could not only meet Heath Ledger’s ground-breaking performance, but challenge it with a bold & fearless flair. This is the best picture of the year and absolutely deserves an oscar for directing, writing & cinematography.
Tumblr media
Phoenix plays Joker a.k.a “Arthur Fleck”, a struggling Street-Performer/Comedian/your all-around Party-Clown who lives in a bleak and morally-crumbling fictional Gotham City, USA (set in 1981). Highly reminiscent of New York City in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s (apparently where the director Todd Phillips grew up), there is an overwhelmingly oppressive structural presence of the city throughout the entire film (with some of the most breath-taking wide shots) - which has the ability to create a legitimate sense of isolation (and claustrophobia).
Immediately into the story, we know that Fleck clearly has some form of severe emotional instability (while struggling in a post-vaudevillian world which is a creaky ol’ memory fading of a bygone era of performers & entertainers). Despite the overwhelming struggle that is Arthur’s existence - Arthur trudges on, beaten down, and continues dancing his dance and putting on a show for everyone & no one. The only times that Arthur Fleck appears to have any form of happiness is when he is performing & dancing as “Carnival” The Clown working for an entertainment agency known as “Ha Ha’s”, and when he is at home spending time with his mother. Arthur Fleck’s journey throughout the story is not only about his life’s struggle, but his eventual demise and fall from grace.
Tumblr media
While Arthur climbs the seemingly infinite stairway each day in his life, the weight of his problems become clearly visible on his shoulders - as he resembles the factory workers in Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” striving upwards with futility. Fleck has literally been taking a beating in his life, and he does eventually transform (due to a tremendously slow-burning tension that carries throughout the entirety of the film) into the larger-than-life villain at the end of the story (which is the crucial moment Joker truly becomes a symbolic figure of anarchy).
Technically-speaking - this film is shot perfectly (with a heavy tone reminiscent of a graphic novel). From larger-than-life exterior wide shots that truly showcase just how small Fleck is in the grand scheme of the city to extremely tight interior shots that allow access to intimate moments with one of the most twisted & insane characters of all time (perfectly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix). The story, an original, was written by Todd Phillips & Scott Silver who had made the conscious effort to bring an entirely fresh take on one of the most celebrated (and revered) characters of the comic book world (and now film world) to the big screen. In terms of the story - it is the best origin story of the Joker by far, successfully achieving a level of sophisticated storytelling to the point that it actually transcends the genre and becomes a truly remarkable artistic effort of genius that has cinematic elements similar to the likes of Kubrick, Scorsese & Malick (particularly in terms of artistic bravado).
Tumblr media
Speaking of Scorsese, “Joker” has the uncanny ability of concealing it’s influences while simultaneously paying homage and informal tribute (I suppose more of an artistic ‘tip of the hat’ to a plethora of cinematic influences). There are plenty of hints & clues for any familiar film-lover (especially a few obvious nods to Heath Ledger’s Joker, although more of a precursor of where that Joker could have possibly originated). For instance, anyone who has seen “Taxi Driver” will automatically draw parallels between the slow, yet inevitable, unwinding & downward spiral of the protagonist (of whom lives in a city that is slowly unraveling at the sociological seams, so-to-speak - which, in turn, is a reflection of the mental stability of the main character as he continues his journey) - Especially when Zazie Beetz’s “Sophie Dumond” encounters Fleck in an elevator and points her fingers towards the side of her head, which Fleck later does to himself (an obvious nod to De Niro’s character “Travis Bickle” in “Taxi Driver”).
Robert De Niro (one of the finest actors of all time) even appears in the film as a very important character by the name of “Murray Franklin” of whom has his own live late-night television talk show. Arthur Fleck is a huge fan of the Murray Franklin show and even fantasizes about being on the show and interacting with Murray Franklin on live television for the whole world to see. Arthur Fleck is obviously obsessed with the notion of becoming famous and celebrated and adored - something he certainly is not in his real everyday life. De Niro’s performance of Murray Franklin is an ironic nod (and inversion) of his performance as “Rupert Pupkin” from Scorsese’s “The King of Comedy” in which De Niro had played the overtly-unrealistic stalker of a late-night TV personality (played by Jerry Lewis) - which is, of course, a brilliant full circle moment for De Niro now playing the big shot entertainer.
Arthur Fleck’s obsession with Murray Franklin is one of many story arcs within the psychologically-labyrinthian tale of how the Joker was born. While portraying Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix has a look reminiscent of the killer “Scorpio” in “Dirty Harry” (played frighteningly by one Andrew Robinson) with the 1970s-friendly shaggy-locks and brown slacks and large-collared attire. This entire film is a herculean psychological character study on Joker and it’s without saying that this is in no way a family-friendly version of the character. The Joker kills three men on a subway in self-defense (after the three Wallstreet men harass a woman and then physically attack Joker). This film lives and breathes in the proverbial gray area of right & wrong and good & bad (which is a part of it’s terrifying genius).
The film’s music also appears as it’s own character (in a way) throughout the film  - acting as a spiritual extension of Joker’s mental & emotional state (as Joker appears to have music consistently flowing from within and exuding outwards with each crucial moment that happens in the story). After Fleck’s first murder in the subway, he runs and hides in a public restroom and begins to dance to his own symphony of psychosis as he stares into his reflection (as Joker; his split personality; his other half, alter ego, etc.). The musical score is just as unsettling & schizophrenic as the Joker, and the film perfectly embodies all of the most defining attributes of what makes Joker so very fascinating (and frightening).
Tumblr media
Joaquin Phoenix’s powerhouse performance stands alone, mighty on it’s own two feet, while Todd Phillip’s care for the character and his dedication to present the character as a real human being is unmatched in it’s sophistication & artistic bravery (with exception of perhaps the Nolan trilogy - God, if only this version of Joker was in the third installment for The Dark Knight trilogy - could you imagine Joaquin Phoenix opposite Christian Bale? - OH My - or perhaps even see where this Joker storyline would dare venture if given the opportunity for more exploration). Joaquin Phoenix had allegedly stated that in researching psychological disorders and real-life behaviors that people actually have - he did not want anyone who is educated in the field of study to be able to pin-point Joker’s psychological “condition” or “symptoms.” Phoenix successfully accomplishes such a feat as Fleck/Joker due to the character’s ever-changing (and constantly-developing) madness amidst his life in this origin story.
This film is a very, very intense tragedy whose psychological depth goes well beyond the screen.
Arthur Fleck/Joker is a care-taker of his own mother, Penny Fleck (played very well by Frances Conroy). Penny begins the story as a seemingly sweet-hearted mother who is ill and in need of some form of help or assistance - of which Arthur does his best in providing (as her only family). As the film progresses, we find that Penny had been a former employee working on the estate of one Thomas Wayne (played very well by Brett Cullen) and she expresses her assurance to Arthur that Mr. Wayne wouldn’t allow them to live in their current conditions had he been aware of their struggle.
Arthur loves his mother very dearly (in a Norman Bates ”Psycho” kinda way), and despite his efforts to nurse her - her condition gets worse, and then the story truly takes a dramatic left turn into an unsettling reveal of the hidden, murky depths of not only the Joker’s life, but his overall psyche. Specifically, when Arthur discovers the truth about his life and the harsh trauma he had experienced as an adopted child with a psychotic mother, who carelessly stood by while Arthur was severely abused (while also discovering he had been an abandoned orphan before Penny adopted him) and would apathetically allow the abuse to thrive.
Tumblr media
Arthur Fleck’s psychological abyss is interwoven within Arkham State Hospital (a mental institution primarily focused on abnormal psychology and psychiatric rehabilitation). The emotional and mental state of Arthur is at the forefront of the film, as Arthur frequently discusses his mental & emotional well-being with a social worker (played very well by Sharon Washington), who eventually loses her job as well as her department due to government cutbacks and lack of funding. The loss of all of his medication gives Arthur’s unusual condition(s) of uncontrollable laughter at any given time (which comes handy with a card to address anyone of said condition) a significantly more off-putting presence. This is especially true due to the reality that his unique condition merely scratches the surface of what is looming underneath (which appears to be an eclectic & deadly combination of a potential variety of psychological disorders including: post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, paranoia, delusional disorder, manic depression, schizophrenia, in addition to possibly having some other forms of personality disorders and/or possibly even a form of undiagnosed autism).
In one of the most iconic moments in cinema, the Joker dances down that same infinite stairway as before (with a Ray-Bolger-like air of arrogance), now in full Joker fashion, experiencing a complete liberation of the weight he once carried on his shoulders as Arthur Fleck. This is a moment that not only represents Joker’s infinite dance of madness, but also symbolizes Arthur Fleck’s tragic descent into hell.
Tumblr media
This film is more disturbing than it is violent. What’s so disturbing is that this is the most realistic depiction of the Joker and how a human being could become a product of one’s environment (in the worst way). I think this film has successfully struck a chord with contemporary society (worldwide), despite the film being a complete fictional story based off of a comic book character, set in another time - there is a significantly realistic undercurrent of honesty shouting loudly in the film in a tone very similar to Howard Beale’s epiphany in Sidney Lumet’s astounding masterpiece “Network”(1976); albeit a bit more deranged (especially once Joker actually goes on live television and scolds Murray Franklin regarding his continual debasement of Arthur Fleck for the sake of entertainment). Joker speaks openly on live television about how he had been the one who murdered the three Wallstreet men in the subway. It is at this point in the journey that Joker is viciously taunting not only the host Murray, but also expressing the cold & harsh reality of the overall system being an institutionalized failure. The Joker has no political agendas, nor financial, or even ambitions within show business anymore after the onslaught of life experiences that have transformed him and tragically removed his innocence.
Tumblr media
Joker was once a man who genuinely wanted to bring joy & laughter to the world and perhaps if someone was there to hand him a book or a guitar instead of a gun in those crucial “in-between” moments in life, or if he had someone in his life who actually loved & cared for him and would be there for him - maybe it could have all been prevented. If Arthur Fleck had positive reinforcement in his life, and perhaps Faith, maybe he would have turned his frustration into inspiration rather than a maniacal form of self-destruction. The same could be said about any one individual in our very own reality (especially considering the highly unusual rate of violent, self-destructive behavior in America as we know it).
Tumblr media
It is after the Murray Franklin Massacre that the Joker is truly “reborn” as he has officially become an abstract figurehead for the downtrodden of society. The same part of society which has had enough of the ugly side of the system and the overall tragedy of humanity’s indifference & ignorance towards the ones who struggle with the weight of the system on their shoulders (while looking up at the ones who have been riding upon humanity’s shoulders for far too long). Joker’s “birth” comes from a symbolic “death” so-to-say of Arthur Fleck as he’s in a severe car accident and carried out by his followers and attains a distinct level of martyrdom. Joker’s tragic destiny is to reign in hell rather than serve in heaven (which is the symbolic dilemma of humanity; hence the inception of Batman in the film, as a young Bruce Wayne’s parents are murdered due to the chaos Joker has sparked - a moment that successfully calls back to Tim Burton’s “Batman” flashback with the movie theater & flying pearl necklace and all).
“Joker” is a highly visceral artistic statement that has a brutally honest hidden social message: society must not fail the very humanity that fulfills it. The madness of one can spark the madness of many - and in any case - we may need to create a better way to heal our sick & our poor, and we should consider better methods to mend the broken (in mind, body, and spirit) rather than feed into chaos and self-undoing (as individuals and as a whole). If we are capable to view such a mirrored fantasy which has created such a social controversy due to it’s violently philosophical conclusion - are we also capable of improving ourselves, as a society, for the betterment of our very own collective reality?
Tumblr media
I give “Joker” a Perfect 10 out of 10. 
Joaquin Phoenix gives an awe-inspiring performance as the most celebrated comic book villain of all time. Todd Phillips has successfully captured lightning in a bottle with “Joker” - A fascinating, brilliant, and highly disturbing character study that places a focus not only on the madness of one individual, but the inherent madness & trivialization of western civilization in modern times.

Sound of Metal (2019)
Tumblr media
The most satisfying stories are the ones that keep you guessing and turn out to be so much more than what you anticipated. I had no idea where Sound of Metal was going next, how it would end, or how close to its conclusion I was at any point. With some of the finest performances of the year, a thoughtful, touching story, and excellent sound design (it’ll win an Academy Award for it, I’m sure), this is one of the year’s best films.
Ruben Stone (Riz Ahmed) is the drummer of heavy metal duo Blackgammon when his hearing suddenly gives out. Tests show Ruben can now make out less than 30% of the words he hears. Sensing her boyfriend’s breaking point approaching and fearing he’ll relapse, Lou (Olivia Cooke) convinces him to go to a shelter for deaf recovering addicts.
Immediately, there’s a lot to unpack. You see Ruben with his ugly tattoos all over his body, living on the road with his girlfriend and bandmate, performing loud, angry songs. You wonder what kind of rage simmers underneath. Then you see him wake up, do his morning exercises to romantic music, and prepare a healthy breakfast for Lou. Whatever person he might’ve been has been exorcised by love. He’s a recovering drug addict, she used to hurt herself. They’re not rich but they’re happy. Then, this incident comes and ruins everything.
It isn’t merely that Ruben will no longer be able to play, it’s that the shelter’s policy isolates him in a devastating way. He can’t communicate with anyone outside - including Lou. He can’t sign either. You’re sure the rules Joe (Paul Raci) is imposing are there for a reason… but you wonder if they’re what Ruben needs. Yes, the people he’s with are well-adjusted and happy, but does being able to hear mean the same to them as it does to him? You know. You’ve been there, struggling to piece together conversations. You heard the sound suddenly cut out mid-performance. You’ve seen how difficult it is to be out there and try to live a normal life.
The bulk of this film has our protagonist hanging onto this narrow ledge, struggling to climb back up and you wonder if you even want him to. If he was going to inevitable relapse, this might be a blessing in disguise, a chance to start new. You can see that but even if he does, Ruben refuses to even consider the possibility.
In this role, Riz Ahmed is so good you forget that when they were shooting, he wasn’t hearing what we are. The audio wasn’t mixed on-set. He just had to pretend like it was. You so desperately want him to emerge from this thing ok you’re scared the whole way through, which makes the ending just soul-crushing and beautiful at the same time. Sound of Metal is about deafness turning someone's life upside down but it turns into so much more. (March 30, 2021)
