#REVIEW: “REMINDERS OF HIM”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
If youâve ever seen a Colleen Hoover adaptation (Regretting You, It Ends With Us) or a Nichoals Sparks adaptation, you have a general idea what to expect. This is not to discredit the movies in any way, or the source material, but theyâre typically focused on some form of heartbreak between a couple that ends tragically. Itâs a genre that you need to enjoy truly to get some form of enjoyment out of any of them. If this is your thing, then ...

#REVIEW: “THE BRIDE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Actor-turned-Filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal has shown great ability and promise as seen in The Lost Daughter. She is back at it again with The Bride. Let's start with the positives. Her direction and the quality of Cast are unmatched, and the Cinematography by Lawrence Sher is breathtaking. The Script however is a bit of a fever dream and that missing ingredient here. We can't help but feel this sublime Cast deserved so much more. The Bride is an ...

#REVIEW: “HOPPERS”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
In his directorial debut, Daniel Chong along with Screenwriter Jesse Andrews, help Pixar reclaim their glory as Hoppers is hilariously heartfelt, grounded, and damn near perfect.
Hoppers focuses on 19-year-old Mabel (Piper Curda) who is an activist and animal rights fighter, while she navigates her life in university, losing her grandma Tanaka (Karen Huie) a few years prior, and fighting âevilâ mayor Jerry Generazzo (Jon Hamm). Mabel and her ...

Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong

#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 isnât 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 ...

#REVIEW: “WUTHERING HEIGHTS”
By Mr. Will Wong
Academy Award winner Emerald Fennell ambitiously writes and directs a new adaptation of Emily BrontĂŠâs 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 fatherâs ancestral ...
