A week ago, we spoke to Cobra Kai: Season 6 star Brandon H. Lee on embracing his role as Kwon, working with some of the original cast members, and what we can see from him in future fights. Check out the full interview on Youtube! (link below)
The Assessment - which follows a couples seven day assessment to earn the right to have a child - is a futuristic, fresh and innovative tale from director Fleur Fortune. Though it does have its shortcomings, including the interplay between the many themes the film tries to cover, the film ends up having a standout voice on parenthood and the lengths people should and would go to do such a thing successfully in a unique and profound manner. Both Himesh Patel and Elizabeth Olsen have fantastic chemistry together, and their performances elevate the assessment to a higher grade as one of the most interesting and fascinating films in recent years.
The film begins with our couples introduction to the terms and conditions of the parenting assessment, as well as their ‘assessor’ Virginia - superbly played by Alicia Vikander, who goes to extreme lengths to portray her character in a nuanced manner as she must act as a child that our protagonists must care for as part of the assessment. From the get-go, the movie establishes its uniqueness with its close appreciation to the themes of parenting and the cooperation and respect partners must have for one another to do this successfully. Though, of course, life’s not fair - especially for movie characters, and things start to get shaky for our protagonists. They live in a world where birth and the concept of ‘having a baby’ is an extreme gift. It’s something difficult to have in a world of limited resources.
