For Wilder, Brackett and Hawks, Potts is not the stock stodgy academic who has to be saved from his books. Instead, he believes in language as a living organism that thrives among the working class and so love becomes a reward for his unorthodox study. While Cooper balances the nervy professor in love, Stanwyck really is a ball of fire - be it her gait, dance or delivery. A superlative comedy from the golden age where language, and by extension, knowledge, wins against guns. At the risk of sounding blasphemously Gen-Z, I really wish there was a prequel dedicated to Professor Oddly.

By focusing so heavily on the faces of his characters, Spielberg captures film's unparalleled ability to momentarily transport its viewer and also how transformative it can be. Sequences like his discovery of his mother's infidelity and the one with his estranged uncle add to the film's eclectic mixture of styles he is utilising here and for good reason. Unabashed in its sentimentality, sometimes to a fault, the ending is possibly his finest.
All that being said, the washed out, refined lighting style that Spielberg has been using as of late in his period films adds an artifice that he needs to do away with.

It is gratifying to watch a Bollywood film which appears to be informed by the news and not gossip columns. Banerjee shows our modern digital existence as the only place of our perpetual presence since the handful of scenes not taking place on screens appear unnaturally distant and detached. He is not interested in glamour beyond the extremity of its artifice and in that, he takes his film from the midst of social media's excess to an AI-generated world that, while feeling absurd, also hits too close home as a cautionary tale. This is an intelligent filmmaker, angry and unchained.
