Troll 2 (Ruth Horror, 2025), Netflix

World cinema connoisseurs will no doubt remember Troll, the 2022 Norwegian kaiju film about a giant ancient rock monster that goes on a rampage in Oslo. This movie was so successful that a sequel was always bound to happen, and here we are. Troll 2 is the biggest Nordic production ever, and it shows. Epic troll action, a troll named Megatroll and a greater focus on humor – see the scene where influencers take selfies with a troll before attacking them – should ensure the sequel is more successful.

Although great, Jacques Tati’s final offering of Moby had one interesting omission, and it’s perhaps his most interesting film. After PlayTime’s massive expenses failed to recoup its budget, Tati became so broke that he had to sell his house. His final film was This Curator’s Egg, shot on video and produced for Swedish television, of all places. There’s not much going on – it’s just a filmed circus act – but Tati manages to showcase his amazing talent for physical comedy and manages to manipulate form just as his greatest films did. Sh
