#REVIEW: “DREAMS”

Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong Filmmaker Michel Franco’s latest follows the dangerous affair between American socialite Jennifer (Jessica Chastain) and undocumented ballet dancer Fernando (Isaac Hernández). The Film’s opening feels straight out of a Dramatic Thriller. Fernando is cramped inside the back of a van with a group of fellow Mexicans, hoping to safely cross the American border undetected. When he arrives safely, he knows exactly where he’s headed: to a ... Read more

#REVIEW: “IN COLD LIGHT”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong As a huge fan of Maika Monroe since 2014 with It Follows, there is almost anything I will see her in, there really isn’t a limit to the movies I will watch if she is starring in them. She seldom misses. With her newest project directed by Maxime Giroux and written by Patrick Whistler, she is given a lot to do, but not much to work with but her prowess to bring emotional gravitas and conviction with something slim is undeniable and she does it with ...

#REVIEW: “HOW TO MAKE A KILLING”

Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong In How to Make a Killing, Glen Powell is heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune. The only problem--he's eighth in line. The most entertaining solution? Kill everyone else on the list. Joining Hit Man and The Running Man in the steadily growing sub-genre of movies that playfully justify Glen Powell as a murderer, How to Make a Killing is a light and capable crime caper--the best entry in the unofficial series thus far. The lethal ... Read more

#REVIEW: “WUTHERING HEIGHTS”

By Mr. Will Wong Academy Award winner Emerald Fennell ambitiously writes and directs a new adaptation of Emily Bronté‘s classic "WUTHERING HEIGHTS". This splashy $80 million production ups the eroticism and heat, as Fennell takes some big swings here, while keeping the core elements of tragedy and romance intact. The story centers on Catherine (played by Charlotte Mellington and Margot Robbie), who sees the dimming luster of her unpredictable, alcoholic father’s ancestral ... Read more

#REVIEW: “PILLION”

By Mr. Will Wong Harry Lighton makes his debut as a Screenwriter and Director in PILLION, and what an accomplished effort this is. A bittersweet queer love story that deserves to be named alongside classics in the genre like Brokeback Mountain, Call Me By Your Name, and how about current global phenomenon Heated Rivalry? The public have spoken and they can't get enough queer romance. PILLION, adapted from Adam Mars-Jones' novel Box Hill, already comes into its theatrical release with tons of ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE MOMENT”

Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong The Moment is a messy Mockumentary ostensibly about ‘brat’ and all things under the brat umbrella–although, as a Charli XCX outsider, I walked away feeling like I understood brat less than I did before I saw the movie. In the vein of This is Spinal Tap, we follow the pop icon in the wake of Brat Summer, prepping for her filmed concert, and being led around by a clueless entourage of management and collaborators from one minor ...

#REVIEW: “SEND HELP”

By Mr. Will Wong If you're looking for something fun, bonkers and grotesque to shake you up out of these winter blahs, the visionary Sam Raimi's lates, SEND HELP is exactly for you! This marks a return after a brief hiatus from Canadian sweetheart Rachel McAdams, who stars as Linda, in-line for a promotion to Vice President in her organization. That is, until her boss passes and hands authority over to his nepo baby son Bradley (Dylan O'Brien). Of course, Bradley isn't impressed with Linda's ... Read more
