Veron The Reviewer

**Due to its nature as a sequel, this review will contain some spoilers regarding the first film. Do not read this review if you have not seen the first film. A Quiet Place Part II is directed and written by John Krasinski once again, and again follows the Abbott family as they fight to survive against alien monsters who hunt by sound.  Once again, it stars Emily Blunt as Evelyn, Millicent Simmonds as Regan, and Noah Jupe as Marcus, with the brilliant addition of Cillian Murphy as the family's friend Emmett. The film starts with an unbelievably tense Day 1 sequence showing the events on the day that the aliens first arrived on Earth. There is a sense of dread even as the film starts and we see the Abbotts going about their day, just normal and blissfully oblivious to the oncoming danger, whereas us as the audience understand that aliens will soon begin to arrive and cause havoc. The Day 1 events include several intense scenes of the terrified townsfolk attempting to hide from...

A Quiet Place  is a horror film directed and written by John Krasinski, co-written by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck. The film centers on the Abbott family living a (literally) quiet life while trying to avoid attracting the attention of alien monsters that hunt by sound. John Krasinski plays Lee, the strict but well-meaning father of the family; Emily Blunt plays Evelyn, the supportive mother of the family who keeps the family moving forward in trying times; Millicent Simmonds plays Regan, the deaf eldest child and only daughter in the family whose loss of hearing is integral to the film while also allowing the family to survive by virtue of already being accustomed to using sign language to communicate; and Noah Jupe plays Marcus, Regan's more timid younger brother. The film is very simple, showing the daily routine of the family as tension slowly mounts all while they go about their errands, trying to be careful not to make too much noise so they can avoid being detected by the crea...

You Season 3 once again follows sociopath stalker/murderer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) and his equally insane wife Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) as they settle down in the suburbs with their child. Being the unstable people that they both are, the limits of their patience and their marriage are tested as a series of impulsive decisions quickly lead to their lives spiraling out of control... The Good: The humor is still very on-brand, contrasting morbid situations with snappy dialogue about more mundane topics and disagreements, thorough exasperation in Joe's monologues, and the constant "here we go again" look on his face The performances are great, especially Pedretti as her character gradually grows more and more unhinged and we get to fully see just how insane yet tragic Love is There are still some characters you want to hate just like Joe and Love do, but this time, a lot of them have sympathetic qualities that are slowly unveiled, making you care about them and wa...

The Father is a drama film directed by Florian Zeller, starring Anthony Hopkins as Anthony, the titular father and a man suffering from dementia, as he gradually loses his grip on what is real and what is not. This film is essentially an exploration of dementia from the perspective of someone deeply affected by the condition. The plot is a series of intentionally confusing interactions between Anthony and his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) as well as other people in his life as he becomes more and more unsure of what is happening as he unwittingly loses control over his mental faculties. What is actually happening in every scene is deliberately unclear since most of the film is from Anthony's perspective. Objects in the background in a certain area change from scene to scene, different actors ostensibly play the same character, previously established facts are changed, scenes seem to happen over and over again. This is all intentional, serving to highlight how Anthony doesn't re...
