F*** Marry Kill: Movie Review




A campy murder mystery thriller with some fun.
There’s a very difficult line to balance between pure camp and a mash-up between romantic comedy and murder mystery thriller, and F Marry Kill struggles for the entire length of the movie. It often veers into camp despite multiple efforts to be a more legitimate comedic thriller. When the main character is constantly debating whether or not her dates are marriage material or a serial killer, it’s kind of destined to be the exact level of camp it ends up as.   2024

Directed by: Laura Murphy

Screenplay by: Ivan Diaz, Dan Scheinkman, Meghan Brown

Starring: Lucy Hale, Brooke Nevin, Virginia Gardner

Picture This: Movie Review




Focuses on family and Indian culture instead of romance and comedy.
As a romantic comedy, Picture This is light on the romance and sometimes funny. But Simone Ashley shines as photographer Pia, a single, independent, career-focused young woman who is one of the best heroines this genre has seen. The film gets off on the right foot, even though Pia doesn’t, when she has to hightail it out of her studio pulling on soccer shorts and flip flops which she loses one of on her way to a secretive meeting with her mother at the bank.   2025

Directed by: Prarthana Mohan

Screenplay by: Nikita Lalwani

Starring: Simone Ashley, Hero Fiennes Tiffin
