surprise, after the two have barely shared a few drinks and a roll in the hay. We have hardly seen her, and Melfi already paints this grown woman as immature and delusional. Clare is far from Phil’s only female problem.

‘A Chiara’ Film Review: Tough, Sensitive Coming-of-Age Drama Flips the Mafia Movie On Its Head

omertà, which only makes Chiara more frustrated and more curious. Carpignano and cinematographer Tim Curtin, who also shot “A Ciambra,” keep the audience locked into Chiara’s subjective experience. Curtin’s handheld camera roves over the faces of Chiara’s friends and family, even drifting out over the horizon at times when she feels lost and confused.
As the plot takes off, the camera starts to follow her, keeping up with her bobbing ponytail as she moves around the city, banging her way into spaces where she’s not allowed and demanding answers. We’re always a bit behind, trying to keep up with the conversations, relationships, and details, mimicking the process that Chiara is going through herself as she tries to glean information about her father from her community, which has become dangerous and untrustworthy. There are moments of dreamlike surreality, which make you question whether what’s on screen is really happening, like when she discovers a tunnel to an underground bunker, which underscores just how bizarre this entire experience is for her. Dan Romer provides an ambient, insistent score to the proceedings, which blends with the American pop music that blares in the gym, at the birthday party, and on the car radio.

‘Lightyear’ Film Review: The Pleasures of Pixar’s Spin-Off Are Far Too Finite
Pizza Planet? What about a jokey reference to the “Woody’s Roundup” TV show for viewers the age of Andy’s mom? And let’s face it: as admirable as it is that Pixar has created an LGBTQ character that can’t easily be dubbed over in foreign markets (the ones that demand that sort of thing will certainly find a way), there was no such thing as a mainstream studio kids’ movie of 1995 — not even an adult-aimed studio movie — progressive enough to pair a white male protagonist with a Black lesbian confidante.The most 1995 aspect of “Lightyear” comes from Evans’ performance, but only if you imagine he’s intentionally impersonating George Clooney for the entire movie; that’s how it sounds, anyway. The laughs generally come from Sohn, Aduba and Taika Waititi as an inexperienced member of the Space Ranger reserves who gets pressed into service.
