Holland: A Stylish Thriller That Fails to Engage Despite an intriguing trailer,  Holland  disappoints with a sluggish first half that tests patience. The mystery builds too slowly, making it hard to stay engaged. While the twist adds some intrigue, it’s predictable, and the rushed ending leaves much to be desired. Mimi Cave’s direction gives the film a stylish look, and Nicole Kidman shines as Nancy, balancing poise with unease. Matthew Macfadyen remains enigmatic, and Gael García Bernal is underutilized. A thriller that starts with promise but ultimately misses the mark. #HollandMovie #NicoleKidman #MysteryThriller #AmazonPrimeVideo #MovieReview  #MimiCave #MathewMacFadyen #gaelgarciabernal Streaming Partner - Prime Video Directed by - Mini Cave Release Date - March 2025

Crazxy: A Thrill That Fizzles Out In  Tumbbad , Sohum backed a crazy idea that swept us off our feet, but Girish Kohli’s  Crazxy  starts with a gripping premise and struggles to maintain its momentum. Sohum Shah delivers a commendable solo performance as a desperate father racing against time, but the film’s execution doesn’t match its ambition. The voiceovers add depth, and the cinematography builds tension, yet the underwhelming second half and melodramatic climax dilute its impact. While the film keeps you engaged, it never shifts gears enough to deliver the adrenaline rush it promises. #Crazxy #SohumShah #ThrillerThatFades #MissedPotential Directed By - Girish Kohli Release Date - February 2025
