Taika Waititi's latest film sucks the emotion out of a beloved story

Taika Waititi's latest film, Klara and the Sun, has received mixed reviews from critics. The film is an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel of the same name. According to ABC News — Just In, the film has been criticized for sucking the emotion out of a beloved story. The review highlights the film's inability to effectively convey the emotional depth of the novel. In contrast, the review praises the film's visuals and its ability to operate within its own genre space. The reviewer notes that the film's gritty mob revenge arc is tiresome, while the love story between the characters is undermined by dated gender tropes. However, the review also mentions that the film has flashes of Hollywood satire that could have been in conversation with The Substance. The reviewer concludes that the film is a mixed bag, but it does the job for those looking for a body horror spectacular.

The film is not the only notable release this month. Laika, a claymation studio, has delivered its first feature in over five years. The studio's latest film, Clayface, has received attention for its unique blend of horror and superhero elements. The film follows the story of Matt Hagen, a young actor who suffers an ugly encounter with a Gotham kingpin and is left with a carved-up face. The film's director, James Watkins, has made a gleefully grisly outing that operates within its own genre space. However, the reviewer notes that the film's love story is undermined by dated gender tropes.

The reviewer notes that the film is a solid addition to the genre, but it does not bring anything new to the table.
