New Release Review - "Meanwhile on Earth"
by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com - published 2024-11-13
From Invasion of the Body Snatchers to the '80s TV sensation V, we've seen many examples of an alien invasion deployed as an allegory for fascism. With Meanwhile on Earth, writer/director Jérémy Clapin gives us a fresh perspective on this idea. His film isn't centred on the heroes who try to save Earth from space-Nazis, but rather on a human collaborator, one who is so heartbroken by loss that she's willing to sacrifice her own species, seduced by that classic fascist promise of protecting her loved ones.

New Release Review - "Christmas Eve in Miller's Point"
by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com - published 2024-11-12
There's a scene in Goodfellas where Lorraine Bracco's character finds herself surrounded by the wives of her new husband's mobster mates. Scorsese films this raucous gathering of Italian-American women like a Fellini tableau while Bracco's voiceover makes her disapproval clear, mocking the women's tacky appearance. Tyler Taormina's Christmas Eve in Miller's Point plays out mostly in a home similarly stuffed with Italian-Americans (among them Scorsese's daughter Francesca). There are lots of bad fashion choices, tacky hairstyles and over-applied make-up on display. But there's no expression of contempt from anyone here. This is an unbridled and unfashionable expression of affection for working class get-togethers.
