There are comedies of discomfort, and then there's Margot at the Wedding, Noah Baumbach's scalding follow-up to The Squid and the Whale. An immersion (沈浸) in sibling malice and simmering resentment, with one of the most infuriating characters in recent movies holding us under, 



Margot tramples the commandment (一誡) that only the pure of heart and noble of deed are worth a viewer's scrutiny. Hard as it may be to imagine a comedy that inflicts [all the psychic torment] of Cries and Whispers, Baumbach has pulled off a more psychologically acute—and funnier—version of the Bergman pastiches that Woody Allen attempted 30 years ago, with a jumpy, nerve-rattling rhythm all his own.

　The buzz on PD’s Friday the 13th revamp took a slight dip with fans last month though the trailer was met with generally favorable reviews. Unlike that popcorn film, nothing I’ve heard really jazzes me about this inevitable ANOES remake. When [Freddy’s] grossly scalded [head] once again rises out of the bathwater between a nubile girl’s legs, I guess Billy Bob would be a fine choice.
