Opus (2025)
Written & directed by Mark Anthony Green this film stars Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich. An eccentric pop superstar releases his first new album in 30 years and invites a select group to his compound to listen to it.
An unusual fusion of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Behind the Candelabra and Midsommar I am not sure this film ever becomes more than the sum of its parts. The highlight is Malkovich at his bonkers best and I doubt anyone else could have played the part. We do get to a thought provoking conclusion but it feels a lot like the horror twist is taking the easy way out.
3/5
