Director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) keeps you off balance throughout its 152 minute running time. A talented young dancer, Susie Bannion played by Dakota Johnson joins a prestigious dance company in West Berlin in the late seventies and comes under the spell of the ...

The spot light falls on all.   //   Bad things have happened at the El Royale and the more details that become unearthed, the more tawdry and lethal things become. The violence is so ...

The voices in his head urge him on to feats outside his human abilities.   //   This duality is played mostly for laughs and the film is quite funny in obvious and unintentional ways. It’s also more comfortable with humour than action. Some of the action sequen...
