Parthenope (2025) Review
“Parthenope” is made for those who use the word cinema as it seeks out to appear like a modern adaptation of a literary classic.
The human experience, sometimes at its most raw, is what you’ll find in the drama tag.
“Parthenope” is made for those who use the word cinema as it seeks out to appear like a modern adaptation of a literary classic.
“Clean Slate” stars Laverne Cox stars in one of the legendary Norman Lear’s final shows, which tries to balances a sense of universality with cultural specific stories.
“Ricky” begins as a rarely seen point of view about post-incarceration, follows a recidivisim storyline that is all too familiar.
“Virgin of the Quarry Lake” is a surprisingly bloody coming of age story, focused on a girl looking to have just one thing after a life filled with abandonment.
“Love, Brooklyn” has the makings of a classic that evolves as its initial audience watches it over and over throughout their lifetime.
“Bunnylovr” presents subtle and tame in ways that indeed are not for everyone.
“Companion” pushes Sophie Thatcher to the point of showing not only is she the top scream queen out there, but she could conquer the drama genre next.
“Disfluency” delivers a nuanced take on a devastating life event in ways that remind you there is no one way you must handle things.
While “Grafted” has a body horror element that appeals to subgenre fans, it lacks anything else that will captivate them.
“I Feel Fine” lulls you into the sense that this will be like any other coming-of-age movie, leading to the gut punch of realizing this is a film that may not have a happy ending.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
