The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Suicide Squad,' 'Annette' and 'John and the Hole'

We reviewed three new movies on this week's episode. We disagreed about two of them. (And even the one we both gave thumbs-up to, only one of us is pretty ecstatic about it.) Hear the whole thing down below.

What's the Best Video Game Movie?

That's the question we try to answer on this week's Debate Club. Our list is now live on SyFy.

Cannes 2017: 'Ismael's Ghosts' Review

The Cannes opener is generally considered a bit of a snooze. So I wasn't expecting a ton out of Ismael's Ghosts, the new film from French director Arnaud Desplechin. Still, this tale of a filmmaker (Desplechin regular Mathieu Amalric) who discovers that his long-lost love (Marion Cotillard) has returned after a 21-year absence, is rather minor. And sorta frustrating. I reviewed the film for Paste.

'Assassin's Creed' Review

Give Assassin's Creed this: It's not good in a pretty arresting way. Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard star in this adaptation of the popular videogame series. Most of the time, I had no idea what was going on. But it's got a real vision to its hallucinatory nonsense. My Screen International review is live here.

Toronto 2014: 'Two Days, One Night' Review

The Dardenne brothers returned to Cannes this year with Two Days, One Night, and it was the first time one of their films didn't win any prizes. That's no knock on its quality: I caught up with the film, which stars Marion Cotillard, at Toronto. My review is up at Paste.
