9 d. ago The Last of Us recap: season two, episode six – many happy returns (of Joel)

Well, that didn’t suck! This birthday flashback episode had enough Pedro Pascal to feel like a glorious gift only to end up breaking our hearts over and overThis article contains spoilers for the The Last of Us season two. Please do not read unless you have seen episodes one to six.Back in early 2023 The Last of Us launched to admiring reviews and millions of viewers around the world. When it was quickly renewed for a second season there was speculation about how showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann would approach the task. Would they skip straight to adapting the second (and so far final) video game, which picks up the action five years after the original? Or would they take a more scenic route, inventing new post-apocalyptic adventures for surrogate father-daughter duo Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to have during that considerable time gap? It would certainly be an easy way to eke another lucrative season or three out of the source material. Continue reading...

1 week ago Die My Love review – Jennifer Lawrence excels in intensely sensual study of a woman in meltdown

Lawrence excels as a woman whose bipolar disorder is exacerbated by husband Robert Pattinson’s infidelity, with super-strength direction from Lynne RamsayLynne Ramsay brings the Gothic-realist steam heat, some violent shocks and deafening music slams to this movie, adapted by her with co-writers Alice Birch and Enda Walsh from the 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz. It’s a ferociously intense study of a lonely, passionate woman and her descent into bipolar disorder as she is left alone all day with a new baby in a rambling Montana house originally belonging to her husband’s uncle, who took his own life in a gruesome way that we are not permitted to discover until some way into the movie.Die My Love is another film to remind you that Ramsay believes you should make movies the way VS Naipaul believed you should write books: from a position of strength. There is, simply, overwhelming muscular strength in this picture: in her direction, in Paul Davies’s sound design, in the saturated colour o...

Is she in too deep?This article contains spoilers for the The Last of Us season two. Please do not read unless you have seen episodes one to five.She may be an impulsive 19-year-old but we know Ellie (Bella Ramsey) isn’t stupid. Her headstrong nature may have something to do with her immunity to the cordyceps infection that has ravaged the world for more than two decades, but she could still have been shot or drowned or mortally wounded in countless other ways. Even if she has not been a particularly good student – “Non-school-oriented,” is how the diplomatic Dina (Isabela Merced) puts it – she has been smart enough to navigate the brutal realities of the post-apocalypse.

From emotional a-ha songs to taking a bite for the one you desire, love blossomed beautifully here. But is this the point of no return?This article contains spoilers for the The Last of Us season two. Please do not read unless you have seen episodes one to four.It’s natural to think of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as the most direct character in The Last of Us. Her immunity to the infection that has everyone else on edge combined with the inherent rebelliousness of a 19-year-old means she is rarely the most tactful of speakers. But sometimes it is Ellie’s incorrigible crush Dina (Isabela Merced) who gets straight to the point. As the pair gaze up at the grisly sight of bodies strung up with their intestines ripped out, Dina makes a very salient observation: “What the fuck is wrong with Seattle?” Continue reading...
