Turning Red Review Pixar Unleashes A Great Coming Of Age Comedy

Pixar has never shied away from the tough stuff — there are entire generations of kids who have being guided through the cold terror of nothing less than death, world-wide destruction, and even the afterlife through the animation giant’s charming productions — but Domee Shi’s instant classic “Turning Red” marks the first time Pixar has gone all-in on perhaps the scariest, funniest, weirdest thing of all: puberty. Kicking off with incredible, unfailing energy, Shi introduces us to her wonderful Mei (voiced by the charming Rosalie Chiang), a Toronto native attempting to navigate the wilds of middle school, being an only child, and the full force power of a first crush....

Wecrashed Review Jared Leto Wework Series Has Movie Star Problem

Expanding the runtime from 104 minutes to eight hours and adding a love story to the office drama, Drew Crevello and Lee Eisenberg’s low-key satire of WeWork’s rise and fall doesn’t suffer all the same flaws as its unscripted predecessor. Leto ably captures Neumann’s magnetism, which was oft-discussed yet never realized in the doc. The series’ structure is sound, doing just enough to support yet another in media res opening. The dark comedy clicks, the design is polished, and pacing smooth, but like the documentary (now streaming on Hulu), “WeCrashed” is overtaken by its eccentric stars; it’s so in service to Adam and Rebekah Neumann’s journey, as well as the Oscar-winning movie stars playing them, that it loses its edge, its perspective, and its stakes....

The culprit? Harry Potter....
