Our Fault review – ultra-glossy Spanish step-sibling melodrama is too bland to be annoying

Third film adapted from the romance novels by Mercedes Ron, originally written in Spanish, feels clunky and cliched This is the third film in a series, after My Fault in 2023 and Your Fault in 2024 , that have been adapted from the Culpable trilogy, romance novels by Mercedes Ron, originally written in Spanish. It’s obviously aimed at a specific market that expects a certain blend of melodrama, softcore sex and lush lifestyle porn, and (more importantly) is invested already in the trilogy’s story. Given those parameters, it probably delivers – although the dialogue, at least judging by the subtitles, is super clunky and cliched. Complete outsiders coming to this cold may be a little baffled by what’s going on, since this concluding instalment makes no effort to fill in any blanks. But even total newbies will get the gist that heroine Noah (Nicole Wallace) still has feelings for her ex Nick (Gabriel Guevara) – who also, somewhat disturbingly, was once her stepbrother, although their ...

A Remake Of The Austrian Horror Movie From 2014 Is Called Goodnight Mommy, Featuring Naomi Watts

In the upcoming remake of the same-titled 2014 Austrian horror movie, which will be released on Prime Video, Watts will co-star with Big Little Lies alumni Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti, Peter Hermann. When twin brothers Cameron and Nicholas (ages 14) visit their mother in the country and see that her face is covered in bandages as a result of recent cosmetic surgery, she claims they know something is amiss. She behaves entirely differently from the mother they once knew: She enforces strange house rules, smokes in her bathroom, and covertly destroys a drawing they created for her. The boys start to question whether their mother is really hiding behind the gauze as her conduct becomes increasingly odd. Every role demands that Watts, 53, "examines some aspect of myself; perhaps something deep within me that has been unlocked will come through." "Although a consistent theme has run through my career, I always look for assignments that might teach me something new. This was not any different, she adds. To confront such darkness was truly harrowing. Undoubtedly, it was one of the most difficult characters I've ever performed. With some of her decisions, it was nearly impossible to relate to her. With her young co-stars, Watts claims to have taken extra precautions, saying, "I was painfully conscious of how cautious I needed to be with this specific material. After a difficult moment, "I was continually monitoring in with them and their mom," she recalls. I tried to joke around with them and maintain a light mood since it was crucial to me to maintain some humor. Matt Sobel, the director, continues by saying that he thinks the original movie "combine(s) fascinating mystery and thrills with deep and evocative emotion." And when creating the new movie, which leans more toward the psychological thriller than the horror subgenre, "I saw an opportunity to keep this unique blend while injecting a brand new set of ideas we wanted to explore," Sobel says.
