It was smart of Wilde to scale back with an intimate chamber piece like The Invite, though here, as in Don't Worry Darling, her stylistic tics sometimes get the better of her.
Early on, Joe and Angela's arguments are almost drowned out by the score's frenzied cello strings, and Wilde is a bit too fond of using the apartment's many, many mirrors to isolate the characters visually, as if we needed reminding of how fragmented their relationship has become.
Pina and Hawk have their own ideas about how to help, and it's worth seeing the movie yourself to discover what they are.
Suffice to say that the title, The Invite, has more than one meaning.
It's disappointing, though not surprising, and the film pulls back from those ideas.
After dangling a more audacious outcome, The Invite retreats to a zone of emotional safety, one that's poignant in its own way, though it also feels like a missed opportunity.
the movie could have been, dare I say it, a little wilder.
A lot has happened since the first Toy Story in 1995 when a cowboy sheriff doll named Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, worried that a space ranger action figure named Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen, would replace him in the affections of their young owner, Andy.
Every Toy Story since has touched on similar themes, about the fickleness of kids, the inevitability of change, and the totemic power of the toys we grew up playing with.
By the end of Toy Story 4, Woody himself had decided to move on.
Along with his beloved Bo Peep, he set off into the wild and embraced the life of a lost toy, leaving Buzz and their friends in the care of their new owner, a sweet girl named Bonnie.
As someone who was pretty mixed on Toy Story 4, I can't say I was looking forward to yet another sequel, which just goes to show you should always keep an open mind.
Toy Story 5 is a significant improvement, and at its best, a delight.
Things seem to be going well for Bonnie and her toys as the movie gets underway, but of course, it's only a matter of time before a new phase of childhood begins, bringing with it a fresh threat to the toy's idyllic existence.
Bonnie's having trouble finding friends her age to play with, and that's because the other kids in her neighborhood are all glued to their screens.
Nobody cares about toys anymore.
It's all about digital tablets and other devices, with their games, group chats, and virtual worlds.
Sure enough, when her parents buy her a frog-themed tablet named LilyPad, Bonnie is immediately hooked.
In this scene, Jessie the cowgirl ragdoll, voiced as ever by Joan Cusack, confronts Lilypad, who's sharply voiced by Greta Lee from past lives.
First dance, honey.
