'Orphan' Review: László Nemes' Post-War Coming-of-Age Drama Explores Trauma, Identity, and Family Secrets in 1950s Budapest

Image
‎The impact of war on families has long provided powerful narratives for cinema, where trauma lingers and fractured identities shape the lives of survivors. Orphan (Árva), the latest feature from Hungarian filmmaker László Nemes, continues this tradition with a deeply personal coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of post-war Central Europe. ‎ ‎Bojtorján Barabás in 'Orphan.' ‎Courtesy of Pioneer Pictures/Good Chaos ‎ ‎Following his Oscar-winning debut Son of Saul and the visually demanding Sunset, Nemes crafts a drama inspired by his father’s childhood in 1950s Budapest. The film begins with a post-war prologue in which young Jewish boy Andor, played by Tibor Martin Lobbert, is reunited with his mother Klára (Andrea Waskovics) after years in an orphanage. Their fragile bond is tested by absence, memory, and the unspoken loss of his father during the Holocaust. ‎ ‎The narrative shifts to 1957, shortly after Hungary’s failed uprising against Soviet control.

'I Fought the Law' Review: Sheridan Smith Leads Harrowing True Crime Drama on Ann Ming's Fight for Justice

Image
‎The four-part ITV drama I Fought the Law brings to the screen the true story of Ann Ming, whose 22-year-old daughter Julie was murdered in 1989.

'Christy' Review: Why Sydney Sweeney's Boxing Biopic Never Lands a Knockout

Image
‎David Michôd’s Christy sets out to tell the story of Christy Martin, the groundbreaking boxer who rose to fame in the 1990s, but the film struggles to match the intensity of its subject. Starring Sydney Sweeney in a physically demanding role, the biopic blends sports drama with domestic violence narrative yet rarely lands a knockout blow. ‎ ‎David Michôd’s Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney as boxer Christy Martin, falters with flat drama and late, uneven intensity. ‎Courtesy of TIFF ‎ ‎The film opens as a standard rise-to-glory sports story. Christy, a West Virginia basketball player, stumbles into boxing and discovers a devastating right hand. Under promoter Larry (Bill Kelly), she racks up victories as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” winning over fans but leaving little dramatic tension for the audience. Her fights, staged with polished choreography, lack real suspense until bouts with Deirdre Gogarty and Laila Ali inject much-needed urgency. ‎ ‎Michôd seems most engaged onc...
