The Crime Is Mine 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Madeleine Verdier is a struggling actress in Paris in the 1930s. She is accused of murdering a famous producer and is acquitted with the help of her best friend, a young lawyer. Her newfound fame and success become too much for her and she eventually spirals out of control.


Set in Paris during a time of great social and political upheaval, The Crime is Mine accurately depicts the city's glamorous nightclubs and sordid underworld. Director François Ozon captures the atmosphere of the era, reflecting the impact of World War I and the rise of fascism in Europe.

Director: François Ozon
Writers: François Ozon, Philippe Piazzo, Georges Berr
Stars: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Isabelle Huppert

This elegant and witty comedy-drama explores themes of ambition and the dangers of getting what you want. The tone of the film is light and humorous for the most part, but takes a darker turn in the second half as Madeleine's downfall begins.


Nadia Tereszkiewicz gives an excellent performance as Madeleine, the ambitious and reckless actress, supported by a strong cast, including Isabelle Huppert as Madeleine's best friend and Fabrice Luchini as the charming and manipulative lawyer who defends her in court.


François Ozon is a master of stylish period drama and directs The Crime is Mine with a sure hand, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant film. The film's music, written by Philippe Rombi, perfectly matches the images and tone, and reflects Madeleine's dual nature. Manuel Dacosse's cinematography is also sumptuous and evocative, capturing the beauty and glamor of 1930s Paris, as well as the darker side of the city.


The film is full of symbolism, such as the recurring image of the red dress that Madeleine wears, which represents her ambition and desire to be seen. The production design is impeccable, recreating the world of 1930s Paris in meticulous detail.


The Crime is Mine maintains a fast pace, with witty and sharp dialogue that perfectly suits the characters and the setting. Ozon keeps the audience guessing until the end, making for a fun and entertaining film with a lot to say about the dangers of ambition and the importance of staying true to yourself.


One small criticism of the film is that it sometimes feels a bit long, with some scenes that could have been cut without affecting the story. The ending also feels a little too clean and tidy for my taste.


I would recommend The Crime is Mine to fans of stylish period dramas and clever comedies. It is a fun and entertaining film that conveys a powerful message about the dangers of ambition.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past.  Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...

Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2026 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

The Netflix adaptation of *Steel Ball Run*—whose two-part premiere masterfully condenses the first two volumes of the manga—stands as a celebration of Hirohiko Araki’s creative clean slate. While *Steel Ball Run* serves as a highly recommended entry point into *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* for newcomers, much of its value lies in a prior familiarity with the six-part saga created by Araki. And although the prospect of diving into such a vast and chaotic world may seem intimidating, that very familiarity makes the thematic brilliance of *Steel Ball Run* all the more poignant. Throughout its first six parts, *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* told a fascinating saga centered on the legacy of the Joestar family. The franchise's seventh installment, *Steel Ball Run*, transports this globe-trotting adventure story to the United States of the 1890s. Araki has crafted a standalone narrative continuity that draws heavily upon the mythology already established within the *JoJo* universe.  Star...
