The Mother of All Lies review – pursuing the truth of Morocco’s brutal dictatorship years

-
Asmae El Moudir employs a delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony to brilliantly evoke personal and collective trauma Between those who refuse to remember and those who struggle to forget, a tumultuous clash of minds occupies the centre of Asmae El Moudir’s inventive documentary, a prize-winner at last year’s Cannes film festival. Through a constellation of clay figurines and dollhouse-style miniature sets, most of which were constructed by El Moudir’s father, the director recreates her oppressive childhood in the Sebata district of Casablanca. Under the watchful eyes of her domineering grandmother Zahra, all personal photos are banished from the house, save for a picture of King Hassan II. The delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony brilliantly evokes the personal and collective trauma that stem from Morocco’s “Years of Lead” – a period of state brutality under Hassan II’s dictatorial rule. Lingering on the nimble fingers of El Moudir’s father as he puts t

A Release Date For Deadpool 3 Has Officially Been Confirmed By Ryan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman Is Set To Return As Wolverine In It

-
X-Men fans around the world are screaming with joy and excitement right now as a recent video tweeted by Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that Deadpool 3 now has a release date of 6 September, 2024. This puts the 3rd installment of the Deadpool franchise exactly a year away. But that is not all that Reynolds has confirmed. Ryan's tweet has also dropped a huge internet-breaking bombshell, confirming the return of Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine in the upcoming movie. https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1574865217141481477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1574865217141481477%7Ctwgr%5E02d15a43347cfd5e204888f6ab0e117c4476ff2b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fscreenrant.com%2Fdeadpool-3-release-date-confirmed-marvel-2024%2F The video begins with Ryan sitting on a couch and talking about how he needs to make the next installment of Deadpool stand out because it will be the first time that Deadpool will be a part of the MCU. Ryan is referring to the fact that Disney recently bought 20th Century Fox studios which gave them the rights to all X-Men properties including Deadpool. Ryan shows a big montage of him walking around the house working on ideas until he finally hilariously reveals that he actually has no ideas so far and doesn't know what to do in the next Deadpool movie. However, before closing the video, Ryan says he does have one idea and just then Hugh Jackman walks behind him. Ryan asks Hugh if he would like to play Wolverine one more time and Hugh says yes. Fans are already going crazy speculating what this movie is going to be all about. The questions are endless at the moment. Given that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine died in 2017's Logan, how will Deadpool 3 bring him back? Does this mean Hugh Jackman will continue playing Wolverine in the MCU after Deadpool 3? What will the plot of Deadpool 3 be? All of these questions are going to have to wait till September 6 next year. The caption of the video reads, "Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this." This is a reference to the fact that the last time Ryan Reynold's Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine were in a movie together was 2009s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the movie which received a lot of criticism for sewing Deadpool's mouth shut. Ryan Reynolds has been wanting to share the screen with Hugh Jackman ever since the first Deadpool came out and it seems he will finally be getting his wish.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
