The Killing of a Sacred Deer

        The opening scene of the movie was open-heart surgery, and that was enough for a person like me who feel deprived due to the season break of Grey’s Anatomy.   The story of the movie revolves around the family of four, Dr. Steven (Colin Farrell), a cardiothoracic surgeon, Anna (Nicole Kidman), an ophthalmologist, and two children, Kim and Bob. While they are all happy merry family, and everything looks fine from the exterior, the cracks start showing very soon. For me, a peculiar and incomprehensible relation was a teenage boy Martin, meeting Dr. Steven, and the equation between two was particularly disturbing, W eird fetish of Doctor, thank God, not with the boy. Soon it was disclosed he was his patient and son of the patient who died during the procedure with Dr. Steven. Initially, it looked like guilt, when Steven gave him expensive watch and his time on and off-work, while the family was completely unaware. Later he was brought at home, and s...

The Assistant

  The movie has a high rating on rotten tomatoes, and that only often is a reason I choose to watch a movie. I loved the background score by Tamar Kali , subtly taking over the scenes shift and move as the movie proceeds.   This movie speaks very eloquently about the sexual harassment at the workplace and resonates significantly with the #MeToo movement.   The movie features Ozark star, Julia Garner, who finished her degree and was a high achiever.

Doing all irrelevant and belittling errands, which a janitor should be doing, but a high achiever college graduate is seen doing every day.   She is seen coming in very early, while there are no signs of sunrise y...

Money Heist

Why is everyone watching Money Heist, La Casa De Papel  Season 1 & 2: Season Four of Money Heist, sadly or luckily, don't know the right word, happened when we were forced to be home for quarantine. It sure was the perfect timing, not intentionally meant but turned out a lot of us were so bored and seeing so much of Money Heist shared on social media, I too, succumbed under peer pressure and binge-watched all four seasons. Well, I wouldn't say it was an unpleasant watch, but I just don't understand how Professor can have such a calculated plan, every single time! I chose to watch it when I read it fell under the genre of action, crime & mystery. The word 'action' got my attention as it works for my husband and me. (Husband only watches movies and series in which 100 things happen in 5 minutes). So we resorted to watching it after carefully downloading season 1 & 2 (since we may not be able to stand the suspense), but it turns ...
