'Totally Under Control': Film Review

A holiday plan for two lifelong friends to drown their sorrows in pie turns into something much more sociable in Friendsgiving, the writing-directing debut of comic actress Nicole Paone. Jam-packed with familiar names, it is most interested in those besties (played by Malin Akerman and Kat Dennings), whose exasperated complaints about failed relationships don't deliver the laughs they seem intended to.

Set against the majestic backdrop of Ireland's wild west coast, Pixie is a trigger-happy comedy road movie that relies more on boorish energy than wit or charm. It marks the self-produced solo directing debut of veteran British producer Barnaby Thompson, whose long lost of credits includes the Wayne's World movies, working here from a screenplay by his son Preston.

A middle-class couple who can’t have children turns to an adoption agency for a baby, only to find their happiness threatened years later when their son’s biological mother shows up and demands him back. Though the story is based on a novel by mystery writer Mizuki Tsujimura, True Mothers (Asa ga Kuru) is a true Naomi Kawase film: a lush visual reworking of parental angst and despair, offset by frequent interludes of communing with that great healer, Mother Nature.

The macabre humor of Roald Dahl survived even a sweetened ending that irked the famed British children’s author in Nicolas Roeg's delectable 1990 film of The Witches, thanks in large part to the glorious villainy of Anjelica Huston.

Documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi says that the purpose of her latest film was to "take the temperature of how people feel about America today." Judging by the alarming footage on display in American Selfie: One Nation Shoots Itself —premiering Friday on Showtime — the country is suffering from a high-grade fever.

In The Boy Behind the Door, a gripping twist on the home-invasion thriller, first-time feature directors David Charbonier and Justin Powell plunge two tween boys into escalating peril, relentlessly intensifying a cascading series of lethal threats over the film’s excruciating runtime.

You can feel the urgency fueling Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler's historical drama about a little-known, shameful episode in our country's past. Despite taking place in the 1920s, Radium Girls feels particularly relevant in these times when the current administration has devoted itself with a passion to rolling back protections for workers.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the border with the United States will remain closed to non-essential travel until the U.S. gets coronavirus under control.  "We have committed to keeping Canadians safe and we keep extending the border closures because the United States is not in a place where we would feel comfortable reopening those borders," he told the hosts of "The Start" in a radio interview Wednesday.

Given that it lays out in unsparing terms the extent of a staggering American failure that ranks up there with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, “Totally Under Control” is a surprisingly calm piece of work. A damning account of how the greatest technological, scientific, and military power on the planet laid down and allowed a pandemic to march right over it, the documentary is filled with eyewitnesses to the clown show who still don’t appear able to process what they saw.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticDrama critics have a word for COVID-19, courtesy of the ancient Greeks: “nemesis.” In theater, this useful term of art applies to the inevitable downfall that awaits the wicked, the prideful and the overly confident.

As the world continues to face the novel coronavirus pandemic, the first look at a new documentary aimed to examine the government's response to the virus and "uncover the truth" has been released. The first trailer for Alex Gibney's doc, Totally Under Control— a title quoting President's Donald Trump affirmation that everything is "totally under control" with COVID-19 — was released Friday.

A brand new documentary is being released this month and it will take a look at how President Trump handled the coronavirus pandemic.

Absolutely no in the world of documentaries moves as fast as Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. Known for award-winning docs like “Taxi to the Dark Side,” “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” “We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks,” (his CV is outrageously long) Gibney already unveiled “Agents Of Chaos” this fall, on September 23 on HBO, a timely and revealing look at Russia’s interference into the 2016 election.
