Highly Suspect Reviews

THE ODYSSEY MOVIE REVIEW Director Christopher Nolan has become one of the biggest ‘event’ directors of his generation. Pretty much no matter what he’s helming, he’ll get exactly the cast he wants, the budget he wants, people will pre-buy tickets for the first few weeks, and it will be showered in awards. I mean, how […]

THE INVITE MOVIE REVIEW Olivia Wilde as a director hit the ground running with the 2019 very funny comedy Booksmart. Unfortunately, her sophomore effort in 2022, the dystopian sci-fi drama Don’t Worry Darling did not fare nearly so well. So, returning to comedy seemed like the right move. Teaming up with A24, Wilde takes on […]

SUPERGIRL MOVIE REVIEW The new James Gunn DC universe continues with its second theatrical release, Supergirl, following Superman’s cousin Kara (Milly Alcock) on her questionable antics through space. The only other Kryptonian other than Clark (David Corenswet) that we know of at this juncture in the Gunniverse, Kara may share all of Clark’s powers but […]

LEVITICUS MOVIE REVIEW Horror is big in 2026 and I’m not just talking about having a visceral reaction to the current state of America.

One fateful wedding, Rick Power (Rudd) meets former boy-band superstar Danny Wilson (Nick Jonas) during an […]

STOLEN KINGDOM MOVIE REVIEW The odds are you probably have someone in your life who is REALLY into the Disney theme parks experience and is not a child. These folks are called Disney Adults. Perhaps they take it even further and are SO into Disney that they venerate everything they produce and think they can […]

IS GOD IS MOVIE REVIEW In the cinematic debut from multiple award-winning playwright Aleshea Harris comes the unexpected curve ball of Is God Is, based on her 2018 off-Broadway play. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson play two twin sisters (Racine and Anaia). Both have terrible burn scars but Racine’s are easier to cover up. Anaia’s […]

LORNE MOVIE REVIEW There has been no shortage of media analysis of the unexpected phenomenon that is Saturday Night Live. More books and documentaries about aspects of it from all different viewpoints have been released than would be practical to print here. But not much in specific is said about the man himself: the guy […]

MOTHER MARY MOVIE REVIEW Nothing is as passionate as a hate that was once love. This is the simmering tension between mega-popstar Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) and famous fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel). Arriving unannounced at Sam’s giant English countryside mansion in the middle of a huge thunderstorm at night, the stage is set […]
