Nouvelle Vague
(2025)
|
Jack Martin
|
Like Godard’s original masterpiece, the film has a nice zest of life to it that Linklater is able to replicate without feeling too postmodern or even critical of the process that would go on to inspire countless other filmmakers such as himself.

Thankfully, it knows exactly what kind of movie it is and, whether or not you’re along for the ride like I was, deserves a good amount of respect for its own level of self-awareness.

If you’re after an Affleck/Damon pairing that takes a few risks with its central casting, The Rip may not be the best of the bunch but there’s enough to make for a fine pizza-and-beer night with pals of your very own.

There’s an unfortunate sense of whitewashing as Ingle is given the lion’s share of the film’s drama as well as its biggest character arc, while Hamed remains relatively one-note by comparison.

Peter Hujar's Day

It’s an interesting flow that the filmmaker has opted for here, one that seems to be part-docudrama mixed with arthouse tendencies which creates a peculiar vibe where you’re drawn into its style more than the actual substance.

Knowingly melodramatic but also with its heart in the right place, and charming in many of the ways that most people know Diamond himself to be, even if it sometimes falls victim to some of the usual biopic tropes.
