I don’t believe the trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s “This is Me … Now” (02.14.24, Prime) is meant to be meta or satirical. Rather, it’s all supposed to be taken very seriously, with a straight face, and that’s what most concerns me. The result looks like the drug-addled fever dream of a schizophrenic narcissist. Lopez's husband, Ben Affleck, is listed as a co-writer on the film.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
