In my latest film review for Island Woman Magazine I discuss Nyad (read it here), which had a limited release in theatres at the end of October before airing on Netflix. It's uplifting and has much to offer the female audience--likely one of the best movies Netflix has to offer female viewers at the moment. Bon cinéma! Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier

In my latest film review for Island Woman Magazine I discuss Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (read it here). Of all the Indy movies, this one has the most to offer the female audience. Bon cinéma! Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  Because Greta Gerwig's Barbie is such a significant film, I've reviewed it for a few publications. On Monday, as I was heading out for a photography fieldtrip up island, Woman Making Films published my second review, which you can read here. Barbie has now earned over US$1 billion at the box office. It's a feminist film that's deliciously brilliant and subversive. Bon cinéma! Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  This month for my film review column in Island Woman Magazine I discuss Greta Gerwig's Barbie, which I've seen twice now (read it here). The first time I saw it was on July 20th, the second, on the 25th with my women's film club. Barbie is a feminist film that's deliciously brilliant (full of satire). It's well worth the ticket price. Bon cinéma! Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  I hadn't posted a film commentary on my YouTube channel in over two years, so I did this morning from my treehouse on Vancouver Island. This one is about the newly released Oppenheimer, written and directed by Christopher Nolan. You can listen to it here: Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier I've seen Barbie twice now, the first time on July 20th, the second, earlier this week with my women's film club. My review should be published soon. On Monday I watched Oppenheimer and am now finishing up my review. Barbie is a feminist film that's deliciously brilliant (full of satire). It's well worth the ticket price. Oppenheimer is very well made--the cinematography is spectacular--but it has little to offer female viewers. Also, it includes gratuitous nudity and sexualization of one woman, as well as the depiction of a woman's suicide. Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier   This month for my film review column in Island Woman Magazine I discuss Bones of Crows (2022), written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Marie Clements (read my review here). I saw it at a movie theatre at the beginning of June. The weather has been marvellous for kayaking and SUPing and on Saturday I visited Botanical Beach for the first time (so many urchins!). As usual, summer is flying by too fast. Next on my watch list: Barbie, written and directed by Greta Gerwig. Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  It's been busy, the last few days! Last Friday I was offered my own film review column in British Columbia's Island Woman Magazine (check it out here). My first review is of Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. (originally printed in The Post Millennial). It's great to join the Island Woman team, and I'm already looking forward to next month's review! On Sunday I made a day trip to Nanaimo for a friend's book launch, which was beautifully done. I got to hang out with other BC writers (all women!), including friends from my writing circle. Such a lovely day! Next on my watch list: Bones of Crows (2022), written and directed by Marie Clements. Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  My latest film review is an analysis of I Am Mother, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi released in 2019 that reimagines our species' boundaries (read it here). American journalist and founder and editor of The 11th Hour, Jennifer Bilek, had asked me to review it, otherwise I would likely have given it a pass. Oddly, the film manages to bypass women (dir. Grant Sputore). Copyright © 2023 Alline Cormier  |
