I watched the world premiere of William Tell at the Toronto International Film Festival (2024).
The presenter of the festival had said before the movie, "they don't make movies like this anymore". I assumed that was a positive thing.
Unfortunately, it really wasn't. The biggest issue of the movie was the language used.
This is a 14th-century period piece that involved the Swiss and Austrians. But for whatever reason the dialogue was written in something that sounded like a high-schooler's approximation of Victorian English.
According to the director, he wrote the dialogue to have language unique to the film. Maybe to assist in some sense of believability within this world. Instead the film was often hard to follow. Character motivations were lost in the flowery, disjointed language.
That being said - the cast did their absolute best with the film. Golshifteh Farahani, Connor Swindells, Rafe Spall, and Ellie Bamber were standouts.
Don't go to see the film for Ben Kingsley - he was barely in it and his performance felt completely phoned in.
If you're okay with 2-hours of mindlessness as you watch beautiful scenery and cool fight scenes - I think there is enough to enjoy.
The movie set up a sequel. I do hope it can be made, and some changes to how dialogue and character interactions are done will be made.

I went into The Life of Chuck knowing nothing about it other than it being a Stephen King novella.
I assumed the movie was going to be horror, and I was so wrong, in the best way. Mike Flanagan was a director I was unfamiliar with as well - so my expectations were really empty.
That being said - The Life of Chuck took the beats of what makes a great horror film - fleshed out and relatable characters with a unique and mysterious situation to put them in.
I want to leave my critique relatively vague as I believe the hook of the film works best going in without knowing much.
I left the film feeling a mix of joy and melancholy and appreciated the artistry that brought me there.
I do recommend.

Just like anything Mel Brooks ever did this show is very hit and miss with its sketches. The pacing is just so quick and silly that the bad sketches tend to feel inconsequential.
That being said. This is clearly NOT made by Brooks. But, I do think it embraces much of his spirit.
This is not high art, and doesn't have as much to say as Mel might have. But it's irreverent and fun, and hearing his voice, however briefly is a lot of fun.
If there is a season 2, hopefully they can trim the fat on some of the sketches. Some of the sketches don't feel like they need to be continued each episode. A one off is fine, and often preferred.
