Director: Dan Levy
Good Grief Movie Review(Photo Credit –IMDb)
What’s Good: The film’s emotional beats feel pretty genuine, and that feels unique even when the setup and execution are a bit artificial
What’s Bad: Many lines of dialogue are too on the nose, and some characters sometimes act weird, confusing their motivations.
Loo Break: Yes, there are a couple of loo breaks, as some conversations or situations might not be interesting enough to hold everyone’s attention on the film.
Watch or Not?: This is a must-watch film if you are in the mood for something quite melancholic.

Runtime: 100 Minutes.

Man on the Run Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Michael Bill McMurray, Xavier Justo, Bradley Hope, Clare Rewcastle Brown, Ho Kay Tat
Director: Cassius Michael Kim
Man on the Run ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
What’s Good: The documentary navigates the scandal’s complexities adeptly, offering a gripping narrative that delves into A-list celebrities, staggering fortunes, and high-level corruption. The relentless efforts of journalists shine as a commendable highlight, showcasing the positive impact of media in uncovering the truth.
What’s Bad: Despite its riveting aspects, “Man on the Run” falters in narrative direction. It starts with exploring the ultra-wealthy but transitions into a formulaic true crime documentary. The attempt to weave together themes of significant wealth and corrupt politics results in a somewhat disjointed composition.
Loo Break: Be prepared for a shift in pace during the documentary’s midsection as it delves deeply into financial intricacies. While essential to the story,...

Lawyers for Malaysia’s ex-prime minister Najib Razak are trying to get Netflix documentary Man On The Run taken off the platform due to what they describe as “sub judicial and contemptuous” content.
The disgraced Razak is currently half-way through a 12-year prison sentence for his involvement in Malaysia’s 1Mdb scandal, one of the largest money-laundering and embezzlement cases in history.
Razak’s lawyers have complained to the High Court this week that the documentary is prejudicial towards ongoing corruption trials against the former leader.
According to prosecutors, Razak worked closely with Chinese intermediary and playboy Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low, to illegally extract hundreds of millions of dollars from the public-facing sovereign wealth fund. Jho Low was known in Hollywood for his lavish lifestyle, celebrity parties and helped set up Razak’s stepson Riza at Red Granite Pictures, one of the producers of The Wolf Of Wall Street.

Stop Making Sense, the remastered concert film that sowed delight at TIFF, opens on 300 Imax screens in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland. Locations Stateside number 260 ahead of a nationwide release next week.
The 1984 Talking Heads extravaganza from Jonathan Demme is presented in its new iteration by A24 — meaning the decades-old movie can now extend its reach to a new, younger audience that is A24’s core fan base. Opening numbers are hard to gauge since there aren’t many comps but there are parties, discos, stars and sellouts with film looking at about $1.5 million, including Thursday previews.
A 40th anniversary large-format special premiere screening at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month had people dancing in the aisles and broke Imax records. It was the company’s highest grossing live event, earning $640.8k and selling out 25 screens across 165 Imax locations in North America and the BFI Imax in London.
