Magic Hour
(2025)

Dave Giannini

Magic Hour is a film that, when homing in on the dual processes of love and loss, has the full attention of its audience.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is one of my favorite surprises of the year, as it's one one of those rare legacy sequels that evolves its characters while tapping into a subtle emotional underbelly.

Obviously working as an HIV allegory, however I think you could argue that needles/disease is just a conduit for what it's really about in terms of that panic and suffocating anxiety you feel you're deathly afraid of getting sick.

There are five jump scares a minute, and because there's so much of it, the film can't devote enough time to its characters or emotion.

Yes, there have been a lot of films lately to examine the fallout of social media lately, but the way it uses remakes as a foundational basis to say something about the numbing of violence via social media is pretty clever and effective here.
