Thoughts on This Week’s In-home Releases

The home releases of Tenet, Alone, Spirited Away, and Ip man: The Complete Collection are the most noteworthy releases on home video and streaming services this week.

FilmBook writer Alex Srednoselac video reviewed Alone and had this to say about the film:

In this video review, I talk about the new thriller Alone and why I gave this minimalist cat-and-mouse game film a favorable rating. Though nothing new, its spartan nature and lack of broad character backgrounds detract from the overall film.

FilmBook writer Jacob Mouradian reviewed Waiting for the Barbarians and had this to say about the film:

In a time when representation is at the forefront of a national (if not international) dialogue on visibility in the arts, and the dangers of cultural appropriation on the whole are under the microscope, it’s odd that something as nebulous as Waiting for the Barbarians still manages to argue for relevancy. It’s not for lack of meaning, but its approach to historical analysis from a genre deconstructionist mindset just leads to excessive ambiguity. Coetzee isn’t off-base, but his story’s vagueness leaves it all a bit too bland.
