Full review on The Movie Buff

In 2014, they killed John Wick’s dog, and we’ve been dealing with the consequences ever since. Not only did “John Wick” spawn a 10-year, billion-dollar multimedia empire, but it arguably kicked off a new era for mainstream action cinema. Suddenly, the days of gratuitous shaky-cam and taking fifteen cuts to jump a fence were things of the past. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, drawing from their stunt background, Hong Kong action cinema, and films like “The Raid: Redemption,” reestablished fight choreography as an art form, using the camera to highlight the action rather than obscure it. Pair all of that up with the uniquely spaced-out charisma of Keanu Reeves as the title character, and you’ve got yourself a hell of a franchise—one that casts a long shadow. Keanu is 6’1”, after all. 

However, it felt like the cards were stacked against “Ballerina” from the start. After all, this female-led franchise interquel-spinoff film—retrofitted into the “John Wick” universe from a spec script—made headlines when The Wrap reported it had undergone significant reshoots across multiple months. Rumors were that test screenings went terribly, and “Ballerina” needed a total overhaul under Chad Stahelski, who took over for credited director Len Wiseman. Combined with a late review embargo, a total flop felt inevitable. It just had to be, right?

I’m going to (metaphorically) hold your hand while I tell you this: “Ballerina” not only succeeds as an entry in the larger “John Wick” franchise, but is a stylish, entertaining, and surprisingly self-contained action thriller in its own right.

Set between the third and fourth “John Wick” films, “Ballerina” hands the reins to Ana de Armas as Eve. As a girl, Eve witnessed her father’s murder at the hands of a mysterious assassin cult. Rescued from the ashes by Winston (Ian McShane) and absorbed into the Ruska Roma under the icy supervision of The Director (Anjelica Huston), Eve spends the next 12 years training for retribution (and ballet). Now a fully-formed killer, Eve’s mission is clear: hunt down the people who destroyed her family and kill them all. It’s a classic revenge story dressed up in the “John Wick” universe’s bespoke assassins, rigid etiquette, and guns. Lots of guns.

Eve is never positioned as the female John Wick—and wisely so. John Wick is mythical and almost unknowable; Eve is grounded and sympathetic. Her pain is understandable, her goals are clear, and there is an undercurrent of desperation to her that sets her apart from Wick. Ana de Armas plays Eve with steely focus and simmering rage. She’s scrappy, determined, ferocious, and comionate in equal measure. Eve’s desperation comes through in every moment, but especially during the action scenes, where De Armas’s ferocious performance gives Eve depth even when the script can’t. She proved her action chops in 2021’s “No Time To Die,” but “Ballerina” shows she can not only do the job, but carry her own film.

Definitely didn’t expect this to feel as empty as it did. Doesn’t do enough with the horror elements to justify the very stock character and thematic stuff - ended up with very little to hang on to. Still see the potential in these guys, I’m hoping I can connect with their next one better

Hey have you guys seen that new Marvel that’s out? I heard it’s supposed to be nuts.

Refreshing to see an honest to god good marvel movie again even if it is unfortunately a recession indicator. This one feels surprisingly un-fucked-with. I actually liked spending time with these characters, and they are written and performed with enough depth to latch on to - and their struggles tie neatly into the themes. 

It’s nice to know that I haven’t been the problem this whole time!

Over the years certain jokes or moments in comedies have made me laugh so hard and for so long it genuinely feels unsafe to my health. In Hot Rod it was when Rod fell down the hill. In Popstar, the moment that Owen’s helmet started blasting light into the crowd - oh my god I couldn’t breathe for like 5 minutes straight. 

Anyway, as a whole this feels like a follow up to Hot Rod which makes a lot of sense. I think I prefer Hot Rod’s more laid back insanity over this, but there is still so much to enjoy here.

If I had a nickel for every time these boys made a movie that flopped hard initially but found its audience later, I’d have two nickels.

Suuuper inventive micro-budget filmmaking. The lofi, mumblecore nature of the early dialogue scenes help give the surprisingly tight plotting a lot more impact. This one loses me a little bit with the ending, though. Would have been fun to leave things a little bit more up to interpretation. In fact, there is a reveal about 3/4 of the way through that feels like the PERFECT stopping point.

Still, this is a movie to recommend to the movie lovers in your life. No gimmicks or special effects to hide behind - just a tight plot, natural performances, and an excellent high concept.

This will probably end up becoming the definitive Valentine’s Day horror movie…not that there’s very many of them. Still, this was fun! Nails a tonal balance between the impressive and often graphic kills, the puppy-dog innocent romance, and some genuinely funny comedic moments.

I kinda feel like Baker got lucky with Mikey Madison’s performance in this. This movie is the furthest thing from bad, and I really enjoyed it, but I do agree with some of the reviews here saying that Ani herself feels a bit underdeveloped. I think she’s perfectly compatible with the themes of the film and I see what Sean was going for, but for such an empathetic filmmaker I am slightly underwhelmed with this aspect of the film.

He’s always had such a profound ability to depict real humanity in under-explored corners of American life, and I think his plot and message focus has finally started to get in the way. He’s shooting for a more mainstream Oscar contender, which this is. I just think he loses a little of his magic along the way. 

I still love the way this man makes movies, and the writing and characters are far from shallow. I just hoped to find a little more to chew on here.

I enjoyed this SO much more than I thought I would have. Turns a religious tradition into a high-stakes political thriller based almost entirely on clashing personalities instead of ideologies. Love the shots of cardinals doing mundane things like using their phones, going through security, and smoking/vaping. Great way to subtly deconstruct the mystique of these religious figures and let you see each one as human in all their complexities.

Gets some points for originality and some visually compelling musical scenes. In a totally different movie with totally different songs, I could see them working pretty well.

That Robin Williams guy sure can act!

Movies from this era are starting to age quite well - call it nostalgia for the early aughts finally setting in. The whole premise is so of-it’s-time now and I think that works in the movie’s favor. I appreciate the set design making things look a little TOO neat and clean - it contributes nicely to the unsettling tone overall. There were a handful of visual flourishes, including a very surprising dream sequence, that I really appreciated as well.

Williams, as usual, crushes it in a dramatic role. He makes it look easy but he really did disappear into this guy, twisting his signature charm into something darker and much more troubled. 

As tends to be the case with these kinds of movies, they do such a good job exploring the character that once it’s time to actually get somewhere in the story, things start to fall apart. Despite a disappointing finale this is worth checking out for Robin Williams alone. But you probably already knew that!

Take the Sparknotes of every horror movie since 2008, feed them to an AI, and ask it for a script and you’ll get the screenplay to Smile. A couple of very strong jumpscares and a surprisingly good last 15 minutes save this thing from complete forgettability.

This sort of slapped?? PG-13 franchise studio blockbuster action-disaster movies are not the niche I’m usually looking for, but this was about as good as you could feasibly make one of these. The character development is surprisingly excellent - and this was clearly made by cat people.

Film Ranking 491ja 2017 https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/andrewbaldis/list/film-ranking-2017/ letterboxd-list-2012119 Tue, 5 Dec 2017 18:41:03 +1300 <![CDATA[

This list is subject to change as I am nowhere near close to finishing watching all of the movies I need to this year. Some entries might be iffy given actual years of production and I think some release years on here are reflective of festival releases which don’t really count in my book. If there’s one or two “2016” films on here, that’s why.

  1. Call Me by Your Name
  2. Your Name.
  3. Nathan for You: Finding s
  4. Ingrid Goes West

    I don’t know if I think this is better than Lady Bird, but it has definitely left me with more to think about. I made a pretty lengthy and rambling review of it already so there’s not a whole lot left for me to say but something about this movie really got under my skin in a really, really good way.

  5. A Ghost Story

    Not for everybody, but I loved this film way more than I expected to. If you can lock in and engage with it, it’ll affect you a lot.

  6. Lady Bird

    I really struggle to think of a single serious flaw with this movie. There are a couple of lines of dialogue that could’ve been rewritten but that’s all in nitpick territory. If anything comes up on top of this one it is due to the strengths of that film, not the weaknesses of this one.

  7. A Dark Song

    The tone and atmosphere that A Dark Song sets almost entirely overshadows flaws that I may have found. A combination of a superb and minimal score, fantastic acting, great dialogue, beautiful cinematography that takes advantage its confined setting, and a controversial central theme make this a film that I personally would consider a future horror classic.

  8. I, Tonya
  9. Get Out

    It’s sad that by it’s very nature Get Out is almost destined to be seen as “overhyped” in the near future. I will never forget the first time I saw it in the theater (one out of three). The way the film built its intrigue and left hints that led to a completely earned and wholly satisfying final act was incredible and just shows that Jordan Peele has a bright future ahead of him as a writer and director. PLEASE big studios leave this guy alone and let him give us a few new horror movies before you inevitably scoop him up for Iron Man 8 or whatever.

  10. Coco
