'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Reviews of 'Kings,' 'Disobedience' and 'Avengers: Infinity War'


Always fun to be on Press Play -- it just occurred to me, they should call the show On Brand -- to talk movies. On Friday, I shared the mic with Roth Cornet to review Avengers: Infinity War, as well as two English-language debuts. First up is Mustang's Deniz Gamze Ergüven, whose Kings is an unfortunate disaster. Then, there's Sebastian Lelio, who won the Oscar for A Fantastic Woman, who is back with Disobedience, starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams. You can hear the whole thing here.

Cannes 2015: 'Mustang' Review


Mustang is a Turkish film about five sisters who live under the thumb of their conservative uncle. Deciding that they need to be supervised more closely now that they're into puberty, the uncle essentially locks them up in the house over the summer, hoping that will keep them away from boys. But the sisters may have something to say about that. I reviewed the comedy-drama, which will be opening in the U.S. early next year, for Screen International.
