Tribeca Review: The Last Day (2026)


Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, The Last Day unfolds over a single summer day in New York, where the lives of two mothers briefly entwine. Julia, a writer and mother, is unsettled by creative stagnation, unprocessed grief, and the approach of her daughter’s adolescence. An unexpected encounter with Taylor—a labor and delivery nurse in the midst of a postpartum crisis—pushes Julia to reconsider the life she has built, and whether she can rediscover herself within it.

The Last Day is directed by Rachel Rose which is her directorial debut.

The Last Day was the final film I watched for this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and it’s a solid film to end on. There are definitely some frustrating moments that the film opts to not really elaborate on, however between the performances, the atmosphere and the many swings the film makes adds up to a quite interesting experience. 

The performances are what really make the film, Alicia Vikander gives a strong performance that luckily she’s able to fully go all out with. It’s refreshing to see Vikander tackle a script that actually allows her to use her acting talent because there are some incredibly striking moments here that really remind you of just how excellent she really is. The scene with Wagner Moura (his only scene) during the film’s first act is a standout, Vikander and Moura bouncing off of each other dialogue wise is truly fascinating to watch and leaves the viewer thinking of this scene in particular.

What Victoria Pedretti does here is outstanding, even if the film largely does not focus on Taylor’s (played by Victoria Pedretti) story, the scenes that we do get are quite fantastic and show just how fantastic Pedretti is as an actress. She captures the dark side of motherhood, there’s many scenes of Taylor just breaking down. Trying medication after medication, Taylor clearly loving her kids but can’t make it through the day it’s all there that really makes the viewer feel for Taylor as a character. Pedretti’s facial acting and body language is also quite fantastic here, you can see the struggle on her face and her eyes it’s hard to watch at times yet it really adds to the film. 

I do think the compare and contrast element of Julia (played by Alicia Vikander) and Taylor’s stories is interesting although I do wish we got to see a lot more of Taylor’s. While Vikander does a great job as Julia and the story being told is solid, it does not have the connection that Taylor’s story has, there are interesting ideas in Julia’s story that are presented but the film does not quite land them when it comes to execution. With that being said there are still powerful moments here that go the long way, the film’s style adds a few weights into the mix that help the film stand out. 

Overall The Last Day is an interesting one, not every single part of it works. But for the most part it’s a pretty solid film with some excellent performances that make the film worth experiencing. 

The Last Day currently has no release date.

Tribeca Review: In Memoriam (2026)

A terminally ill actor becomes obsessed with being featured in the Oscars’ “In Memoriam” segment, exploring ego, humility, and legacy.

In Memoriam is directed by Rob Burnett director of We Made This Movie (2012) and The Fundamentals Of Caregiving (2016). 

In Memoriam perhaps has one of the most unique premises I’ve heard of so far this year. The whole idea here is an aging actor is faced with terminal cancer but then wants to make it on the In Memoriam section of the Oscars ceremony, it’s a very eye catching idea that works quite well. While there are a few hiccups along the road, the film does a great job of executing its ideas and helps build its characters around it. 

Marc Maron gives one of the best performances of his career, he’s able to balance the film’s dramatic and comedic moments expertly which leads to some genuinely hilarious and impactful dialogue exchanges. He plays off the supporting cast incredibly well, his most hilarious moments come in when he’s on screen with Michael McKean and his best dramatic moments come in when he’s on screen with Talia Ryder. 

Speaking of which, Talia Ryder continues to show that she is incredibly underrated. The little moments of Maura (played by Talia Ryder) wanting her father Langston (played by Marc Maron) to teach her about acting have this raw atmosphere to them that you really can’t help but love. The father and daughter bond the two display throughout the film is the heart of it all, it leads to an admittedly predictable yet beautiful ending that will absolutely make you shed a tear or two. 

The rest of the cast is great, as mentioned earlier Michael McKean is quite hilarious. Megalyn Echikunwoke makes for a fun addition during the film’s second half and Lily Gladstone although not having a large presence in the film, still goes all out with her performance. The dialogue exchanges between her and Maron are some of the film’s highlights. 

As far as writing goes In Memoriam is quite strong, it goes for this dramady type of feel that really works. It’s definitely understandable if some moments could feel like a whiplash for some viewers, but luckily the film does a great job of mostly preventing that by having plenty of down to earth serious moments yet strangely funny. The theme of the time someone has left when faced with a situation like cancer is truly well done and has this sense of care that’s put into it. 

The film is admittedly very predictable especially during the second half as it does have a ton of genre cliches. However I don’t think that ruins the movie, the performances, the beautiful moments and the premise itself keep this one afloat. It’s the type of film that you root for due to it just being so charming and in the end the film reaches that finish line. 

Overall In Memoriam is a very charming and caring film that has some great performances and is quite hilarious. At times it can feel familiar but one thing is for sure that the film will leave you with a great impression.

In Memoriam currently has no release date.

Tribeca Review: Clean Hands (2026)

The inspirational true story of hero drug cop turned recovery advocate Kevin Simmers and his daughter Brooke. The film examines the American drug crisis from the opposing eyes of cop and addict who were also father and daughter.

Clean Hands is directed by Jake Allyn who previously directed Ride (2024). 

Clean Hands is based on the true story of Kevin Simmers and his daughter Brooke the latter of which struggled with opioid addiction. The two navigate the American drug crisis on opposite sides of the law. While the film does strike in a lot of familiar categories, there is this beautiful level of rawness when it comes to the film’s performances that are quite easily the best part of the film. 

Zach Braff and Esther McGregor work wonders with the film’s father and daughter dynamic, there are plenty of moments here where the film really focuses on the facial expressions of the characters. That’s especially the case with Brooke, we see the pain and tears in her eyes that is truly gut wrenching to watch at times. McGregor does such a fantastic job of really bringing these moments right to the viewer and you constantly are reminded of what she’s going through as the film goes on. 

Zach Braff gives a very strong dramatic performance here, Kevin Simmers’s devotion to his daughter’s wellbeing is commendable and leads into some very powerful moments between the two. Braff is definitely more recognized for his comedic work, but Clean Hands shows he is incredibly capable of dramatic work. 

Clean Hands does unfortunately suffer from incredibly slow pacing and familiar story elements (even if the film is based on a true story.) The film also confuses itself by jumping ahead without bringing this connecting piece, however these issues are largely in the first act. Which I guess does work in the film’s favor since the rest of the film does pick up once it enters the second act. With that being said, you would not be blamed if you felt completely taken out of the film by the second act. 

Overall Clean Hands is not a bad movie, it’s an admittedly powerful story with some excellent performances that are bound to make you shed a tear or two. If you can get through the first act and the meds that comes with it, you will probably end up liking the film. 

Clean Hands currently has no distribution

Tribeca Review: Rain Reign (2026)

The story follows Rose, a neurodivergent 12-year-old obsessed with rules and homonyms, who embarks on an emotional search for her missing dog during a superstorm.

Rain Reign is directed by Erika Burke Rose which is her directorial debut. 

Rain Reign is a very straightforward coming of age story that works mainly due to its cast, the care that Erika Burke Rose put into the story and its quite authentic portrayal of neurodivergence. 

The performances are quite beautifully done across the board. Felice Kakaletris (a neurodivergent actress) plays Rose a 12 year old neurodivergent girl who we follow throughout the film. We get to see her personality and some traits that tie into the film’s story, one of the main ones being homonyms something that Rose loves (hence the title of the film.) Kakaletris does such a beautiful job here, not only does the performance feel authentic but Kakaletris fills with this anxiousness of feeling out of control. The beautiful  delivery lets the viewer see behind Rose’s shields whether that be heartache or frustration, she has a bunch of quiet moments that truly are effective. It’s a well done performance that the viewer quickly grows attached to and never lets go. 

Jeremy Sisto and Paul Rudd are also both fantastic here. Sisto plays Wesley, Rose’s father who is going through rough trauma making caring for his daughter a lot harder. Sisto brings a lot of depth to a performance that could have easily went down the “one dimensional” route. Rudd plays Uncle Weldon the direct opposite of Wesley, he has a much better gentleness and connection. Combined together, Sisto and Rudd both do wonderful here and are at best when they share the screen with one another. 

As someone who is neurodivergent how the film portrays neurodivergence is very well done. We get to see how Rose sees the world, how she communicates with the people around her and her general understanding of certain situations. One early scene of Rose having to be excused from the classroom and taking deep breaths is truly touching. Later in the film a classmate of her’s is sharing their experience with the storm that just occurred, the classmate was on the verge of crying so Rose asks “do you need to step outside” and goes with the classmate. This is by far my favorite scene of the film simply because we see Rose look at the people around her and wants to bring this light into the world. 

There’s also the beautiful third act involving Rose’s dog Rain, not only does it have some solid character moments for all the characters. It’s a sweet ending that ties up all the film’s plot lines in a nice little bow, sure the way these plots are tied up are not anything new and certainly won’t surprise the viewer. But there is this level of charm that you can’t help but appreciate. 

Rain Reign is not anything new, but as I said before it’s the film’s performances and authenticity that really sells it and pushes it to the finish line. 

Rain Reign currently has no distribution

The Moment (2026) Film Review

A rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.

The Moment is directed by Aidan Zamiri which is his directorial debut. 

The Moment is Charli xcx’s first leading role (when you look release wise Erupcja came out in April) and while I do love her performance in Erupcja a lot more. She still does a fantastic job here, the film itself is also quite great as well. It’s a mockumentary that takes full advantage of its ideas and expands upon them quite well. 

The cast is all around quite strong, whether it’s cameos or the main characters the film’s world feels very complete with the performances. Rachel Sennott gets a great scene, Kylie Jenner surprisingly gives a decent performance (she plays a fictionalized version of herself so I do think it works here.) Rosanna Arquette gives an amusingly aggressive portrayal of industry pressure. Alexander Skarsgård is a cartoon character come to life and the film’s atmosphere compliments that incredibly well. Skarsgård plays Johannes Godwin a pretentious music video director who is very unhinged and does a fantastic job of epitomizing corporate groupthink and the more absurd, toxic traits of the music industry. 

Finally there is Charli xcx in this film she plays a fictionalized version of herself. Not only does this work with the film’s comedic moments but it does make the more dramatic ones as well as the character moments that much more effective. Charli xcx gives a vulnerable performance that really opens herself up as a person, when the film focuses on these moments it’s at its best. Her conversations with the rest of the characters perfectly match the atmosphere the film is going for, there’s this line of being grounded and over exaggerated that this film sits comfortably on. Usually this would be an issue, but I do think that Charli xcx’s performance combined with the script are able to keep it going at this steady pace. 

The writing is quite great here, the main exploration here is the music industry and how greedy it can really be. The film also tackles the completely messy nature of how art is sold which can hurt artists who are passionate. While these topics are certainly not new, the way the film goes about exploring them in this mockumentary style works incredibly well. We get to see it starting to affect Charli xcx throughout the film which leads to some particular great moments, there are a lot of ups and downs in the film which really do capture of how the music industry really behaves. One moment the higher ups are panicking because something fails and then the next they are happy as a clam because something did incredibly well. 

Overall The Moment is quite fantastic, it’s definitely not going to be for everyone (especially if you aren’t a fan of Charli xcx.) However I still do think it’s worth a look, there’s some really strong acting as well as very well put together film here. 

The Moment is available on all VOD platforms.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Film Review

A passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

Wuthering Heights is directed by Emerald Fennell director of Promising Young Woman (2020) and Saltburn (2023). 

Wuthering Heights film adaptions have always existed, you have the 1939 film with Laurence Olivier, the 1992 version with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, the 2011 film directed by Andrea Arnold and there is a TV movie plus a mini series. Emerald Fennell’s version is definitely more stylized which leads to both some really interesting elements and some elements that do hold this one back. 

Before we get started I do want to say that I have not read the source material, I’m going to judge the film from what was presented. If you are interested in the controversies surrounding the film such as the casting choices I highly recommend looking that up as there are people who talk about this that are far more knowledgeable with the source material than myself. Now with that said, let’s get the ball rolling.

The performances are all quite solid although some are definitely better than others. Margot Robbie does have a few moments where she can feel a bit out of place with the film’s time period, despite that however she is able to land a great performance. I definitely think it’s one of those cases where as the film goes on the better her performance becomes, she adjusts to the film’s atmosphere and is able to make a decently compelling performance. Jacob Elordi is in the same spot as Robbie where I do think it takes him a bit of time to fit in with the atmosphere. But once he does, he is able to land some quite strong moments especially towards the end. 

Robbie and Elordi are at their best when they share a screen together, these are by far the film’s better and more investing moments. Their dialogue bounces off of each other decently well and there is some firepower behind certain scenes. The chemistry has some quite strong moments that do bring the viewer into the film’s world, there are definitely some hiccups which mainly comes from how long the film is. But overall I do think the two are able to match the tragic picture that’s being painted. 

Hong Chau and Alison Oliver are also pretty solid here, Hong Chau’s more quiet performance compared to the rest of the film being on a more louder scale makes for an interesting contrast. Alison Oliver provides the film’s more bizarre angle, she has this comedic relief aspect that slowly becomes more dark as the film goes on. Oliver captures this quite well and is not afraid to go all out. 

The film’s best aspects have to be its cinematography combined with the music. The cinematography from Linus Sandgren is undeniably gorgeous, it matches the atmosphere the film requires and brings this large scale to the story. Even the film’s more simple shots have a whole lot going on in them, there is a striking amount of beauty going on here that does capture the film on this wondrous scale. The music from Charli xcx works incredibly well here, each of the songs are able to stand on their own and they complement their respective scenes. The music definitely does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to bringing the viewer into the experience of it all, a few notable mentions go to “Always Everywhere”, “My Reminder”, “Out Of Myself” and “Funny Mouth”. 

Overall I do think Wuthering Heights as it stands is a decent film, it does go on for a bit longer than it should and it does have a very bumpy start. But I do think it gets better as it goes on resulting in a decent enough film. 

Wuthering Heights is available on all VOD platforms.

Michael (2026) Film Review

The early life of the famous musician Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop.

Michael is directed by Antoine Fuqua director of Training Day (2001), Olympus Has Fallen (2013), The Equalizer trilogy (2014-2023), Southpaw (2015), The Guilty (2021), Emancipation (2022) and many others. Michael follows the early life of Michael Jackson, covering the period from his involvement in the Jackson 5 up until to the Bad tour. 

Michael is something that I like to call a “textbook biopic” in short this basically means biopics that feel like you are reading straight out of a textbook or Wikipedia page. They don’t say anything or do anything interesting they just simply tell you information that you already know, in cases where the subject of the biopic is lesser known that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There has been cases in the past where biopics about far lesser known figures have done this and succeeded. However when you tackle figures like Michael Jackson who was one of if not arguably the most famous person on the planet and your biopic is very textbook like there comes a lot of issues. 

Before that however, I’ll jump into what made the movie work because there are a few elements here that worked. Jaafar Jackson who is Michael Jackson’s nephew plays Michael and does such a fantastic job as him. He sounds like him, he acts like him and he even has the spark of what made Michael such an entertaining performer. It’s especially impressive considering this is Jaafar Jackson’s first acting role, even when the script is incredibly lacking in depth. Jaafar Jackson is able to make the material work simply due to his body language and how much charisma he has. I’m not exactly sure what Jaafar Jackson has planned next, whether he’s going to act in different films. But I would love to see that happen if he decides to go forward. 

The music is of course excellent, this goes without saying but Michael Jackson’s music is some of the most celebrated pieces of music of all time and the set pieces during the music moments do a good job of explaining why that’s the case. From Beat It to Thriller to Bad it’s all well done and admittedly I was tapping my foot, it really does capture of what Michael such a great singer and performer. 

Then the rest of the movie happens and unfortunately this is where Michael completely falls on its face, the rest of the performances while not particularly bad just don’t end up landing effectively. None of Jackson’s brothers are given any time to really shine, Nia Long does have a couple of sweet moments but is ultimately not given a lot to work with in the writing department. 

Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson has his effective moments, but ultimately comes off as this mustache twirling villain. The abusive nature of Joe Jackson is captured (and those moments are genuinely uncomfortable) but the rest of his personality really does feel very exaggerated. Also quick fun fact, Michael is the second biopic within the last couple months to include Don King (the first one being Christy.) Finally there is Miles Teller who feels out of place, it’s not his worst performance as there is one sort of great moment towards the end. However you can’t help but feel like he’s in a completely separate movie. 

The dialogue is the equivalent of those motivational posters you see in a classroom which to be fair to Michael, a lot of other music biopics are guilty of this it’s a common trope at this point to expect. Michael just so happens to be a prime example of it, almost every scene ends in this “believe in yourself” or “you can do this” sort of vibe. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when you end so many scenes like this it does start to become incredibly grating. 

Finally the movie itself almost feels like a montage of Michael’s greatest moments, it’s nice to see these moments on the big screen. But without any sort of strong writing in between said moments it ultimately leaves the question of “why bother?” The movie fails to really paint the whole picture of what made Michael such an interesting person, as I said before. It does capture what made him a great performer and singer, but as a person? There is a whole lot missing here even when the movie is split into two parts. 

Overall Michael is entertaining at times and has a fantastic performance from Jaafar Jackson, but that’s as far as the movie goes. It’s very unfortunate because there are a ton of hints to a great movie here, a lot of it is just stuck in this generic realm. 

Michael is currently in theaters.

Erupcja (2026) Film Review

A woman reconnects with an old friend while visiting Warsaw, Poland, with her boyfriend.

Erupcja is directed by Peter Ohs director of Everything Beautiful Is Far Away (2017), Youngstown (2021), Jethica (2022), Love And Work (2024) and The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick (2025). 

Erupcja is one of those films that almost immediately takes you into its own little world, the opening shot being a volcano erupting and from there the film takes you on this journey whether its narration or through the characters. It’s truly beautifully told and the sort of film you never want to end. 

Erupcja is one of singer Charli xcx first leading roles (the other being The Moment which I’ll get into next time), and her performance here is nothing short of brilliance. It’s not easy for a singer to have a go at acting, but Charli xcx truly makes it look easy here, she disappears into her performance. Bethany is a complex character that we explore throughout the film and we get to see how she connects with the world and people around her whether be with her Boyfriend Rob (played by Will Madden) or Nel (played by Lena Góra) her old friend. It’s very clear Charli xcx cares so much about Bethany as a character because of how she puts a ton of passion into her, she gives a confident and striking performance that leads up to one particular moment that really shows Charli xcx’s creative process as an artist. It’s one of the best performances of the year that truly leaves an impact on the viewer. 

Lena Góra, Jeremy O. Harris, Will Madden and Agata Trzebuchowska are all brilliant here as well. They all work well together and each contribute to the film, Trzebuchowska as Ula gets some investing dialogue exchanges with Góra as Nel. Jeremy O. Harris as Claude brings this natural performance, it has the feel of talking to someone you meet on vacation for a couple of minutes. Sure we might not know a whole lot about said person, but it’s the atmosphere and joy of talking to someone that makes it all work. Harris does a fascinating job of capturing this sort of atmosphere. 

Will Madden as Rob has great chemistry with Charli xcx, there are some quite beautiful moments between the two just silently communicating that really paint this beautiful picture. During the last bit of the film we especially see and feel the thoughts of Rob and what is exactly going through his mind. Finally there is Lena Góra as Nel who much like Madden, has fantastic chemistry with Charli xcx. There is this striking bond between two old friends rebuilding into something special, a fire is slowly being made again and the film does such a fascinating job of the body language of the two and the atmosphere do a lot of the talking. Góra’s performance is also in general very grounded and really brings so much passion into a film that is built on it. 

The writing is phenomenal especially when you combine it with the themes of self-discovery, adventure and freedom. We Bethany discover parts of her that she might have not known, all taking place in Poland. The cinematography from Peter Ohs adds so much to the writing, we get so much detail of the character’s reactions and what is going through their heads. The theme of adventure through exploring Warsaw, Poland has this beautiful small scale that really matches the atmosphere of the experience, not only does director Peter Ohs take the viewer along for the ride, but so does Bethany. She takes Rob, Nel and the viewers along this adventure and exploration of such a beautiful city. 

The use of a narrator is such a nice touch to an already beautiful film, especially when you combine it with the film’s 71 minute running time. It feels like a natural fit and a decision that really reflects this dreamlike feel of escape, the film itself almost feels like a poem which does lead into Charli xcx’s most beautiful moment of the film. It all adds into the film’s themes and technical aspects to paint this beautiful picture that you can explore for hours. 

Erupcja is the type of film that really inspires me to talk about film, there’s this sense of discovery and passion that is poured into the film. You can feel, see and hear how beautifully the craftsmanship of the film really is, there is so much going on with this film thematically that you never want to leave. This is one that I highly recommend giving a look, one of 2026’s best films thus far. 

Erupcja is currently in theaters and expands to more theaters tomorrow!

Hamlet (2026) Film Review


Hamlet returns home to find his uncle has married his mother. His father’s ghost reveals he was murdered by his brother, sending Hamlet on a quest for vengeance that exposes corruption.

Hamlet is directed by Aneil Karia director of Surge (2020). 

Hamlet is a reimagining of William Shakespeare’s popular play, it’s set in contemporary London and is quite a solid take on the play. While it’s not going to break any new ground, there is certainly a whole lot to really like here and ultimately makes the full package come together in the end. 

The performances across the board are all really solid. Riz Ahmed is undoubtedly the best of the pack as he continues to show his power as an actor and his ability to completely transform a performance. Even when the film can feel a bit one-note when telling the story, Ahmed is able to salvage certain scenes with his acting and give these scenes a lot more to work with. Ahmed gives this tender yet frenetic performance that sticks with the viewer throughout the experience. 

Joe Alwyn and Sheeba Chaddha are also quite great here as well. Chaddha works well with Ahmed and has plenty of scenes that blend the two’s personalities, Alwyn is given far more time to show what he can really do acting wise and he does quite well here. The dialogue exchanges between Alwyn and Ahmed are quite solid and have a bit of tension in the atmosphere, especially during the film’s third act. 

The film does have a bit of a rough start, the use of Shakespearean English mixed with a modern London is very noticeable at first and admittedly the first act is a slow start. However once the second and third act kick in that’s when the film gets more interesting, there’s a dance scene that is quite phenomenally done and really adds into Hamlet’s psyche. The writing gets better as the film progresses and even has some striking character moments. The writing definitely goes for a more intimate look of Hamlet losing himself to the madness of his grief, which I do think is quite well done here. 

The sound design is quite fantastic and outside of Riz Ahmed might just be the best part of the film. There are a ton of sequences where the sound really brings you into Hamlet’s head and makes you question what’s real and isn’t, it’s incredibly effective and brings in this thrilling atmosphere. This compliments the whole Hamlet losing himself to madness theme that I mentioned earlier, when you combine the sound design and this theme together you get a very atmospheric and quite unsettling picture. 

Overall Hamlet is a very solid take on the play, as I said before this is not exactly going to break any new ground. However I do think it’s still worth a look as it is a well crafted and very well acted film. 

Hamlet releases tomorrow in theaters!

In The Blink Of An Eye (2026) Film Review

Three storylines, spanning thousands of years, intersect and reflect on hope, connection and the circle of life.

In The Blink Of An Eye is directed by Andrew Stanton director of Finding Nemo (2003), WALL-E (2008), John Carter (2012) and Finding Dory (2016). 

I appreciate Andrew Stanton for attempting to try live action again, however In The Blink Of An Eye is a complete and total mess. There are really good ideas here exploring three stories that take place across history of the world is a fascinating idea that has potential. But sadly the writing, character writing and execution is just not there at all, making the experience incredibly empty and forgettable. 

The best thing you can really say about In The Blink Of An Eye is that the acting isn’t bad and that’s mainly due to a lot of talent involved. Kate McKinnon, Daveed Diggs and Rashida Jones all give decent enough performances, unfortunately for them the character writing just isn’t there outside of a few moments towards the end that somewhat attempt to try and save the movie. 

The writing tackles the very typical “meaning of life and everything and everyone that surrounds us” sort of idea which can bring the viewer into the experience when done right. However this is not one of those movies that does this well at all, it’s a very surface level exploration of the idea that pretends it’s saying something incredibly profound. A majority of the time you are waiting for the big moments to come which never end up arriving, it feels like the mindset going on here is just because the movie mentions a theme that is quite deep that will keep the whole movie afloat. You have to execute that theme well in order to make it work. 

What seals this movie’s fate is that none of the three periods of time immerse the viewer, all three stories are generic, flat and very uninspired. The cinematography editing or even music although not terrible, does not help the experience grow or stand out, all three stories feel identical to one another except they have a few tweaks here and there. This ultimately destroys the whole idea of the movie and makes the whole experience feel like nothing. 

Overall In The Blink Of An Eye is a movie with great ideas with very lackluster execution that fails to immerse the viewer. The technical elements and acting are passable, but everything else especially the writing completely breaks the movie. 

In The Blink Of An Eye is available on Hulu.

3/10 D-
