3/5

It's not streamlined, but somehow it's still graceful, a convoluted landscape rather than a portrait, touching on hot button topics like men and abortion, racial profiling and gentrification, as well as more universal themes like emotional laziness.

a sharp, emotionally cutting and very funny film about power: who owns it and the impact of how they choose to wield it.

Sprawls out in pleasant if not exactly compelling fashion, raising various real-world social concerns without having a great deal to say about them.

Tukel gleefully smashes his meaty paws on every hot button he can get them to, and dear reader, I laughed. I laughed so very hard.

Black Magic for White Boys tries to be funny, but most of the jokes don't really land very well. Any of the dialogue that's deliberately politically incorrect just seems too self-aware to be genuinely funny.

3/5

Fast and chattery, this New York comedy has a huge ensemble and a plot that feels like it's spiralling out of control from the start.

Early Woody Allen comedy rhythms where absurdity is treated nonchalantly. Most of the ensemble cast is fully immersed in their respective roles. There's no real singular lesson being taught; some characters change for the better because they want to, some because they're thrust into new roles, and some get hit over the head with "be careful what you wish for." If you have to have pat resolution, you'll be disappointed. But if you just ride the interconnected moments and let yourself laugh at the sometimes slightly mean or non-PC - but still very sharp - bits, you'll enjoy it.
