Top review. A great new entry into superpower mythos films. Chronicle is one of those films that kind of snuck up on everyone and may very well have slid under the radar if not for a somewhat dead weekend in February and good word of mouth. And it's rightfully earned. After last weeks fantastic The Grey, the new year continues to produce good film with one of the most interesting takes on the comic book film in a long time.
Now, you might be tempted to blow this off as another low budget, shaky cam movie ala Paranormal Activity, but you'd be wrong. Firstly, this is a film that establishes it's lead "camera men" as experienced with a camera, so shaky cam is mostly gone from the film.
We also have some other rather interesting excuses for better than average faux-doc filming, namely the main character's ability to levitate his camera around to get multiple angles. Suffice to say, the camera work is mostly good and legitimized so it never feels like it's too good. So, if you fear that this is just another poorly made hand-held excursion, fear not. This is a very well made hand-held excursion. That said, words matter.
Speaking of words, I have a confession to make: even as a supposed English language teacher, the word "incel" was not in my vocabulary until the movie Joker came out in Chalk it up to living abroad. The joke was on me because, according to the woman who coined the phrase "involuntary celibate" — now abbreviated as incel — "angry men" had already hijacked that word well before Joker. This is all a roundabout way of saying that Dane Dehaan's character, Andrew Detmer, in Chronicle is something of an incel.
Just last month, we saw the same actor as another violent incel character, Jim Dooley, in Lisey's Story go bool yourself. Andrew Detmer is just a fictional character, but screenwriter Max Landis is the one who conceived him. Landis has since been accused of some pretty horrendous things. He was one of the figures who got caught up in the Weinstein effect as it swept through Hollywood from late onwards.
He's been accused of misogyny and sexual assault and is now generally regarded as an industry pariah. Director Josh Trank said he even went so far as to ban Landis from the set of Chronicle. Reports of Tranks's own troubling behavior on and off the set of Fantastic Four tarnished his image as well. He's since had a soft rebound with Tom Hardy in Capone , and dredging up this old dirty laundry is not an attempt to damage his or anyone's reputation any further.
