★★★★★
Apple TV+'s Severance is not a mystery box to be solved but a philosophical machine, using the sterile geometry of corporate space to stage the oldest question in cinema: who are we when no one is watching?
A landmark of television direction — sterile, sinister, and quietly devastating. Essential viewing.
★★★★★
Jesse Armstrong's Succession weaponises the restless handheld camera and the withheld reaction shot to turn corporate warfare into a King Lear for the age of private jets — the finest ensemble drama of its decade.
A savage, Shakespearean masterpiece. Five stars, and the benchmark every prestige drama is now measured against.
★★★★½
Olivia Wilde's chamber piece confines four extraordinary actors to a single apartment and lets the camera do the accusing — a comedy of manners that curdles, with real formal daring, into something closer to horror.
Wilde's best work by a distance — a razor-sharp, superbly acted single-location chamber piece. Don't miss it.
