Review : Ready or Not (2019)

I had high hopes for 2019 after the past couple of years for films, but I have found myself lately with less motivation to go and see new releases. I’m not sure if it’s due to the quality of work released, a seemingly slow surge of arthouse films into the mainstream that have yet to get blockbuster-length runs, or personal burnout, but I’ve fallen far below my expected viewing goals. That being said, certain premises will always pique my interest, and anything that falls into the realm of The Most Dangerous Game qualifies. This is the chief reason why I jumped at an opportunity to see Ready or Not.

Grace (Samara Weaving) and Alex (Mark O’Brien) are preparing for their wedding at the La Domas estate, the home of Alex’s strange family he finds himself estranged from. Grace is excited, but Alex seems distant and hesitant... even Daniel (Adam Brody), Alex’s brother, jokes that Grace could leave, no questions asked. Despite these ‘warnings’, Grace and Alex are married, but their wedding night is interrupted when Aunt Helene (Nicky Guadagni) beckons Grace to the music room for a family ceremony. Grace joins Alex, Daniel, Helene, Tony (Henry Czerny) and Becky (Andie McDowell), the heads of the La Domas family, as well as daughters Emilie (Melanie Scrofano) and Charity (Elyse Levesque) and in-law Fitch (Kristian Bruun), where the group heads to the La Domas family game room. Tony tells the tell of family patriarch Victor La Domas, a gamesman who met a peer in the form of a Mr. La Bail who presented Victor with a mysterious box that takes a card and places a game on it. Grace is presented with the box and told she must take part in the game chosen in order to official become a member of the family, and she chooses hide and seek, much to the dismay of many family members. Their hesitance becomes clear when Grace realizes the family’s true intention : capturing her by any means necessary for a much bigger purpose.

As a genre piece, the well-known presentation of the suspense gem that is the remake of The Most Dangerous Game is ground that has been well tread, but Ready or Not provides enough of an original twist with the secret society, cult aspect to feel fresh. The center of the family reasoning for completing their mission is not new or original by any means, but the presentation as a colloquial folk-tale and the commitment to seeing it through brought me thorough pleasure and entertainment. The suspense is palatable, the danger is believable, and the stakes are continuously risen right through the resolution of the film.

Presenting the idea of committing to a loved one and their family in the guise of a life or death game serves as a proper metaphor for the fear that many face when considering and going through marriage. This reading is the obvious one, and it is definitely nailed, but the subtext about unconditional commitment to family in the face of logic and reason is also touched upon without getting too heavy-handed. These dual seeds of conflict present a rich playground for tension : sibling protection in the face of danger from within, prodigal sons versus black sheeps, the willingness to love strangers with no guarantee it will be reciprocated, family dedication to traditions that are passed down generationally as the times change, and periphery damage of family conflict all get memorable moments in the course of the narrative.

Tonally, the movie handles its suspense and comedy quite well, never fully committing to either tone fully, but making the presentation of each tone believable and rewarding throughout. The special effects for the violence are believable, teetering on the edge of being too gruesome without going over the line. The mansion serves not only as a beauty of a location, but a deeply rewarding one in terms of providing plenty of opportunity for the game of hide and seek to be honestly captivating. The drab, muted color palette gradually takes a backseat to deep reds and oranges, matching the danger, urgency and ambition of the situation and the characters within. This film could have easily fallen into the realms of ridiculousness, shock and exploitation, but the balance of casting, nuanced writing (in terms of the interpersonal relationships) and performance keep it centered, giving us reasons to actually care about Grace and members of the La Domas family.

Samara Weaving holds down the lead role with the confidence of a seasoned veteran, channeling a Sigourney Weaver-like persona in the face of danger to pull off a believable heroine. Mark O’Brien, by comparison, broadcasts enough hesitance and weak will to offset Weaving, making his eventual character breakdown play that much better in the face of his trials and tribulations. Adam Brody is the modest heart of the film, visually presenting us with a torn protector that knows you can only play games with this level of danger for so long before you must pay the price. Henry Czerny and Andie McDowell make a perfectly absurdist couple for these proceedings, with each taking the standard husband and wife tropes to a dark degree, considering the topic and presentation. Nicky Guadagani brings a hilariously focused, Terminator-like energy to the beginning of the film, allowing layers of her character to peel and appear like a complex, dangerous onion. Melanie Scrofano handles a ton of the comedy weight, with Kristian Bruun bringing in a ton of comedic support, while Elyse Levesque serves as a younger parallel counterpart to Guadagani’s character.

I don’t think this film will win any awards or change cinema dramatically, but for those looking for a couple of hours of escapist entertainment, this will certainly check that box and then some. Funny enough, I misidentified the star, but I think that I am a newly formed Samara Weaving fan, and will probably seek out more of her films.

A killer game of Hide and Seek. They’re coming. The night of her wedding Grace learns that marrying into the Le Domas family may take a little more backbone and cunning than marriage into a “regular” family. I really liked this one, and would buy it. The atmosphere of the house and the dynamics of the family were fantastic; from the opening credits skimming by all the games the family produced, to the opening scene that really set the tone for the events to come, not to mention all the hidden passage ways (servants hallways - did they really need to be that wide?!), that family-only game room where all the main events start, and that security control room and the surrounding grounds (that barn with the goats 😬). The way the family members were introduced and the family history was teased out was really nicely done, even after the audience had already watched the first scene. The song playing while the game starts was just historically quirky and chilling enough for the movie. The dialogue (especially that early scene in Alex’s room) seemed natural and everyone turned in really well-done performances. The ending - ohmalord; it was interesting to, as someone put it, watch the family implode, and contrast the ends of Charity and Becky vs Grace, and that comment on class, sense of self, and marrying for money vs love or family. My only questions: were all the games when there was a marriage as morbid as this one? And who were people who “died in a house fire” why did they and not more of the family reach that end? How were they connected to this branch of the family? #lategram #ssmovieof2019 #comedy #horror #mystery #thriller #SamaraWeaving #AdamBrody #MarkOBrien #HenryCzerny #AndieMcDowell #MelanieScrofano #KristianBruun #NickGuadagni #ElyseLevesque #JohnBalston writers: #GuyBusick #RChristopherMurphy (as #RyanMurphy) directors: #MattBettinelliOlpin #TylerGillett movie of 2019 number 27) #ReadyOrNot https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Bl8-VnQgB/?igshid=dus92jqwu8kl

Review : Marriage Story (2019)

Netflix comes rushing in at the end of 2019, just in time for the holiday season, with a movie that looks like it’s taking direct aim at the hearts of the masses. The ultra-talented Noah Baumbach is in the director’s chair, and he’s roped in Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver from their romps in the land of blockbusters to dive into a modern day version of a story used since some of the early days of cinema. Marriage, from what I understand, is an unpredictable series of ups and downs, and Baumbach and company are taking a hard look at the institution with Marriage Story.

Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole Barber (Scarlett Johansson) are New York-based creatives attempting to raise their son Henry (Azhy Robertson) in the midst of a failing marriage. Nicole is the star of Charlie’s play, but on the verge of moving the play to Broadway, Nicole takes an opportunity to star in a Los Angeles-based pilot. Nicole moves Henry to Los Angeles with her mother Sandra (Julie Haggerty), and during a visit from Charlie, he is blindsided when he is served divorce papers by Sandra’s sister Cassie (Merritt Wever). As the split moves from being handled within the family to being handled by attorneys Nora Fanshaw (Laura Dern) and Bert Spitz (Alan Alda), Charlie and Nicole are forced to face the reality of their family, their marriage, their professional opportunities, and most importantly, themselves.

Noah Baumbach takes an honest look at how the intimacy of marriage allows people to be truthful with one another to the point of damage, especially when they work together. The audience is given a good display of how parents who don’t get along can still be supportive of their children, even when they are going through personal moments that due major damage. Making an attempt to be clear on what the individual wants takes front and center stage, even (and especially) in the construct of a marriage. The delicate balance of two creative people using one another in a romantic and a creative capacity, and what happens when the public reception power dynamic shifts, is given close examination, especially when it is shown how these dynamics set up grand battles that end in petty bickering and character shaming.

Paralleling the differences between a man and a woman with the differences of Los Angeles-based film and television versus New York theater is a stroke of creative genius... though most likely not original, the context it is used in for Marriage Story provides a sound foundation for compelling storytelling and strong acting. With such raw tension and emotion connected to the relationship, most of the humor is found in the reflections on theater, TV and film, and many of these jokes land. Turning the differences between the coasts into a familial tug of war for balance and respect also works, with the tension amplified by distance and responsibility, as well as two vastly different lifestyles. The hopes of an amicable split propped up against the involvement of lawyers and due process is also grounds for tension, with the scenes in Marriage Story standing up to what would be the obvious comparison, Kramer vs. Kramer.

The way that the camera either observes the proceedings like a stranger that has stumbled onto a moment they should not have seen, or from the perspective of Henry, puts us in an objective viewpoint where we feel the most pain, rather than choose sides. The tone, tempo and pacing of the film are all high level, which is to be expected with a director that has the pedigree of Noah Baumbach in charge. The attention to detail found in the cinematography and editing make the little moments, memories and reflections truly stand out. The score is sparse, but it perfectly punctuates the few moments that it is present. Above all, the way that this film feels like being a member of a struggling family really hits... this is easily the most tender of Noah Baumbach’s incredible journeys into family and relationships.

Scarlett Johansson gets a chance to rove around in a more grounded performance, rooting herself in true emotion and connection rather than mysterious lore and fan service. Adam Driver gets a similar opportunity, and seeing him portray a struggling man holding on desperately to the final threads of a former lover pulling away is powerful. Azhy Robertson gives an extremely dynamic performance for such a young man, managing to swing between moments of insight and moments where children cause infinite frustration at the least opportune times. Alan Alda gives equal doses of dry with and deep humanity in the form of compassion, while Laura Dern manages to be extremely centered while keeping an extremely sharp edge... both portrayals of lawyers are some of the best I’ve seen recently in film. Julie Haggerty is a light in what quickly becomes a dark situation, providing consistent examples of unconditional love and non-judgement in an extremely uncomfortable family debate. Ray Liota brings the fierce focus to the table that has become his bread and butter, which in turn creates an implied increase in tension merely based off of his presence alone. Appearances by Wallace Shawn, Merritt Wever, Mark O’Brien, Matthew Shear, Brooke Bloom, Kyle Bornheimer, Mickey Sumner, Martha Kelly and many more, plus a cameo by Robert Smigel round out the proceedings.

I’m excited to see what Netflix has in store for us in 2020. The certainly have their headline news bases covered in their efforts to legitimize themselves, but having people like Noah Baumbach connected to your company really drive home the fact that they are serious about film. Hopefully the bar that he sets for quality will resonate throughout all those connected to Netflix in a creative capacity.
