鈥淧oor Things,鈥 a new Gothic drama starring Emma Stone, is one unique woman鈥檚 journey through science, sex and self-discovery.
Based on Scottish writer Alasdair Gray鈥檚 1992 novel, and set in 19th century London, the story focusses on Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), who, when we first meet her, is a fully grown woman with the mind of a child. Her 鈥渕ental age and body are not synchronized,鈥 says her guardian, Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) a.k.a. 鈥淕od,鈥 a disfigured man of science with an unconventional mind.
They live in a lavish home, which also houses Godwin鈥檚 menagerie of strange animals, like a half chicken, half dog, creations right out of the Island of Dr. Moreau, and an ever-patient housekeeper who cleans up after Bella鈥檚 frequent temper tantrums.
When Bella isn鈥檛 acting out, she soaks up knowledge like a sponge, wearing her curiosity like a badge. To chart her progress Godwin recruits his prot茅g茅 Max (Ramy Youssef), a young scientist with an open mind and an open heart.
As Max develops feelings for the young woman, Bella becomes curious about the world outside the walls of Godwin鈥檚 home. She gets the chance to explore with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a flamboyant character who accompanies the now free-spirited Bella off on a romantic, picaresque excursion to Lisbon, Portugal. For the rapidly developing young woman, everything is new and she dives into every experience, including sex with gusto.
鈥淲hy do people just not do this all the time?鈥 she says to Wedderburn post coitus.
Her journey to self-discovery, free from the prejudices of polite society, sees her plot her own way to liberty by working as a Parisian prostitute, studying medicine, expanding her mind with the writings of Emerson and travelling the world.
鈥淚 am finding being alive fascinating,鈥 she says matter-of-factly.
An off-kilter 鈥淔rankenstein鈥 story, 鈥淧oor Things鈥 is the darkly funny tale of a human experiment who is not beholden to her creator. Unlike Frankenstein鈥檚 monster, she has a lust for life, an eagerness to drink from the chalice and savor every drop. From figuring out how to walk, spitting out food she doesn鈥檛 like鈥斺淲hy keep it on my mouth if I find it revolting?鈥濃攖o running off to an uncertain future, she finds freedom in the moment, and the zest with which Stone brings Bella to life is irresistible.
鈥淚deas are banging in Bella鈥檚 head like lights in a storm!鈥 she says.
It is a raw, strange performance, fearless in its execution. Rich in comedy鈥攊t takes a well-defined character to say, 鈥淚 must go punch that baby,鈥 and get away with it鈥攁nd deep in pathos, Bella is the kind of character that we鈥檙e likely only to see in a film by Yorgos Lanthimos, director of oddball delights like 鈥溾嶵he Favourite,鈥 鈥淭he Lobster,鈥 鈥淭he Killing of a Sacred Deer鈥 and 鈥溾嶥ogtooth,鈥 but it is Stone who makes the character simultaneously hilarious, sympathetic and disturbing.
Stone is supported by Dafoe as a mad scientist who wouldn鈥檛 be out of place working alongside James Whale or Tod Browning. It鈥檚 a bravura performance, under an inch of monstrous make-up scars, that reveals the human side of a man mostly interested in data, but who makes a space in his heart for Bella.
Ruffalo lets it rip, gleefully embodying the worst of humanity. The old money lawyer is braggadocious, uptight and a bit of a dim wit. The Avengers actor milks Wedderburn for all he鈥檚 worth, emphasizing his ridiculous suaveness to create a comedic character that is part Errol Flynn, part Derek Zoolander.
The success of 鈥淧oor Things鈥 is due to that trio of performances laid against Lanthimos鈥 ornate set design and odd-ball sensibility. It is a coming-of-age, a long strange journey unlike any other, but one with a strong message of female agency.
鈥淎 woman plotting her course to freedom,鈥 says brothel owner Swiney (Kathryn Hunter). 鈥淗ow delightful.鈥
How delightful, indeed.
Everyone from Hannibal Lecter and Darth Vader to The Ghostbusters and the Godfather have been given the origin story treatment, so why not Wille Wonka, the mysterious and mischievous chocolatier created by Roald Dahl? That鈥檚 the premise of 鈥淲onka,鈥 a new musical now playing in theatres.
鈥嶵imoth茅e Chalamet plays the title character, the young version of the Wonka seen in 1971s 鈥淲illy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory鈥 and 2005s 鈥淐harlie and the Chocolate Factory,鈥 but his sartorial style is already in place. Decked out in a top hat, purple waistcoat and flamboyant scarves, Wonka arrives in town with the dream of opening the greatest chocolate shop the world has ever seen.
鈥淚've spent the past seven years travelling the world,鈥 he announces, 鈥減erfecting my craft. You see I'm something of a magician, inventor, and chocolate maker. So quiet up, and listen down. Nope. Scratch that, reverse it.鈥
His original idea was to make chocolates his mother (Sally Hawkins) would love, and after years of study he learned to concoct delicious, unusual candies. His caramels are salted with the tears of a Russian clown. His cherries come from the Imperial Gardens in Japan and his marshmallows are harvested from the mallow marshes of Peru, and some of them, like the Hoverchoc, have magical, gravity defying side effects.
Trouble is, the city is under the thumb of the Chocolate Cartel, sweet treat tycoons Mr. Prodnose (Matt Lucas), Mr. Fickelgruber (Mathew Baynton) and Mr. Slugworth (Paterson Joseph). They don鈥檛 like Wonka or the threats his chocolates pose to their businesses. 鈥淗e鈥檚 good,鈥 snarls Fickelgruber. 鈥淭oo good.鈥 But they really hate his idea of making affordable chocolate for the working class.
鈥淪end Wonka a message,鈥 says the sinister Slugworth.
Nothing is going Wonka鈥檚 way. The local chief of police (Keegan-Michael Key) threatens to bonk him on the head, the Cartel is out to ruin him, he鈥檚 indebted to work house owners Mrs. Scrubbit (Olivia Colman) and Bleacher (Tom Davis) and a small orange Oompa-Loompa (Hugh Grant) accuses him of stealing cocoa beans.
Despite the odds, with the help of an orphan named Noodle (Calah Lane), the optimistic Wonka is certain he can make his dreams come true and make his mother proud.
Directed by 鈥淧addington鈥檚鈥 Paul King, 鈥淲onka鈥 replaces the weirdness of past film adaptations with whimsey. From the fanciful set and costume design to the heightened performances and relentlessly upbeat tone, it is as sweet as any of Wonka鈥檚 magical confections. A celebration of the power of dreams, it鈥檚 satisfying and delicious, and tonally feels like a companion piece to the others rather than a revisit or a nostalgic look back.
Chalamet鈥檚 Wonka has little to do with the reclusive, narcissistic, judgmental character as played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp. He is still an eccentric outsider, but in this version he鈥檚 also the emotional core. King and co-writer Simon Farnaby flesh out his story, adding in a backstory that includes a strong connection to his mother and huge dollops of earnestness. That light and airy feel is balanced, somewhat, by the addition of nasty capitalists who want to crush Wonka鈥檚 dreams for their own benefit. But make no mistake, this is all chocolate and charm.
Chalamet plays Wonka as a charismatic oddball but without the cynicism that colours other portrayals of the character. The 鈥淒une鈥 star replaces cynicism with a delightfully clever naivet茅, anchoring the film鈥檚 light and breezy tone. His Wonka pays tribute to, but isn鈥檛 an impression of Wilder or Depp. It fresh and fun work, with credible singing and dancing, even if the songs aren鈥檛 exactly earworms.
In their handful of scenes, Chalamet cedes the screen to Grant. In what is easily his silliest role ever, Grant finds the fun, playing a testy Oompa Loompa on a mission.
鈥淲onka鈥 is a scrumdiddlyumptious family film for the holidays. A lavish movie, powered by pure imagination, it is life affirming, with a sense of wonder. It doesn鈥檛 enthrall in the same, off-the-charts measure that King鈥檚 鈥淧addington鈥 movies do, but really, what other film does?
鈥淭he Immediate Family,鈥 a new rock doc now playing in theatres, and available Dec. 17 to rent or buy on the Apple TV app and other VOD platforms, is a feature-length look at musicians you鈥檝e listened to your whole life.
鈥淚 would buy records just because they were on it,鈥 says Phil Collins.
They were to the 1970s singer-songwriter era what The Funk Brothers were to Motown or The Wrecking Crew to Los Angeles based pop music. They were the four names that graced the back covers of albums by singer-songwriter Hall-of-Famers like James Taylor, Keith Richards, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Stevie Nicks and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
鈥淭he creative input of these session guys cannot be overstated,鈥 says Taylor.
Legendary session musicians, drummer Russ Kunkel, bassist Leland Sklar, and guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Waddy Wachtel, are the Immediate Family, a group who鈥檝e played together on-and-off for more than fifty years, and treat one another as brothers, hence the band鈥檚 name.
The story brings together each of their stories, from Kortchmar鈥檚 first exposure to James Taylor, when both their families were vacationing on Martha鈥檚 Vineyard, to Sklar admitting he hides his insecurities behind his trademark ZZ Top-worthy beard to Kunkel鈥檚 story about being kicked out of the fifth grade orchestra.
Each has a tale to tell, and, of course, there are accounts of excess on the road and studio stories galore, but director Denny Tedesco isn鈥檛 interested in a tell-all or gossip. The most rock 鈥榥 roll moment comes when Linda Ronstadt says she always won their tour bus poker games because she 鈥渨as the sober one.鈥
鈥淗ammer of the Gods鈥 this is not. Instead, this is a warm-hearted story of friendship and music.
There is an undeniable chemistry in their group interviews, as they share a lifetime of experience punctuated with lots of laughs. It doesn鈥檛 dive deep. This is a hangout movie with great music. To that end, Tedesco makes sure to include lots of archival musical footage, bolstered by newly shot performances.
Tedesco, the director best known for the doc 鈥淭he Wrecking Crew,鈥 is clearly a fan and while 鈥淭he Immediate Family鈥 is a companion piece to movies like 鈥淓cho in the Canyon鈥 and 鈥20 Feet from Stardom,鈥 it doesn鈥檛 have the same in-depth flavor. Still, as a snapshot of an iconic era, it鈥檚 a bit of fluffy fun.
