Reviews
Memorable, crazy movie
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
