Wicked For Good Trailer: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo join hands against a suppressive queen and her prince. Watch
There is magic in the air yet again as Universal Pictures has dropped the trailer for Wicked For Good, the sequel to last year's breakout hit Wicked, which made over Rs 400 crore worldwide and became the most successful musical of all time. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are coming back to face-off against Madame Morrible, played by Michelle Yeoh and her favourite lackey prince Fiyero, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey. The makers will be hoping for a repeat of last year's performance, and the film will be trying not to crumble under the pressure of its predecessor. The trailer opens with Erivo and Grande reuniting, as the former tells her of a battle that is coming their way. She says, 'There's no going back. This is between us, the wizard and I.' We see Galinda (Grande) don the crown as Fiyero and his troops move forward in their quest to capture the witch Elphaba (Erivo). The movie seems to go back to its root themes of ostracisation and how people often fear what they don't understand, and then they wish to destroy it. Apart from evading Fiyero and Morrible, Alphaba has a quest of her own, to bring down the Wizard of Oz (Goldbulm), in whom 'she believed in the most.' Galinda is trying to manage her feelings for Fiyero, while trying to protect Alphaba and change her ways. Change seems to be the central point of the narrative. It seems that the prince will finally realise his true desires and act upon them, which is clear from a scene in the trailer. All lead characters will be going through some kind of change, in order to truly achieve whatever they long for, be it acceptance, friendship, peace or love. Directed by John M. Chu, the film also features Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Marrisa Bode, Ethan Slater and Jeff Goldblum.

The Better Sister review: Power, patriarchy and murder in a brilliantly layered show
Chloe Taylor, the Editor-in-Chief of a feminist magazine, The Real Thing, lives the ideal, picture-perfect life with her attorney husband Adam Macintosh and son Ethan. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when Adam is murdered under mysterious circumstances. It is later revealed that Ethan is the biological son of Chloe's estranged alcoholic sister Nicky, who's also Adam's the complicated family history, the sisters reunite when their son (Nicky's biological son raised by Chloe) is accused of his father's murder. Co-creators Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado weave an intriguing whodunnit thriller based on Alafair Burke's novel, 'The Better Sister.'advertisementThe most challenging aspect in long-form storytelling is retaining consistency despite having five different directors for an eight-part series. Craig Gillespie's direction in episode one, who is also the executive producer for the introductory chapter 'She's My Sister', sets the momentum for the rest of the episodes. The blend of suspense with human trauma brings a novelty to each character in the story. Leslie Hope, Azazel Jacobs, Dawn Wilkinson and Stephanie Lang make sure to comply with Milch and Corrado's creative vision. The combination of an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery with an 'Adolescence'-like narrative about abuse and toxic masculinity is what sets 'The Better Sister' smart, sharp and emotionalThe unique aspect in every episode is the different layers every character has, except for Detective Nancy Guidry, played by Kim Dickens. Despite being a one-dimensional cop, she's convincingly dislikeable as the most insensitive, stubborn acting prowess of the actors on board makes 'The Better Sister' a compelling watch. Jessica Biel resonates as a media executive, fighting her way to the top despite the subtle misogyny and sexism. Biel brings out a range of emotions, as Chloe - from sophistication, charm, vulnerability to guilt, fear and rage. From a loving mother, a women's rights supporter to a sacrificing sister, the actor delivers one of the best performances in her acting Banks as the estranged sister amicably complements her artistry in their emotionally charged sequences. Banks, as the unpredictable yet lovable Nicky, gives it her best shot when it comes to character transformation. She embraces the scars and innocence of Nicky throughout the Stoll as the complex husband and father delves deep into the character's psyche. His portrayal of Adam gives you a glimpse into his humane aspect despite him being a morally questionable Acee Donovan as Ethan Macintosh gives an aesthetically gratifying act as a teenager traumatised by his parents' toxic relationship and his biological mother's broken marriage. Donovan hits the right chord in making the audiences empathise with Ethan despite him being a troublemaker who deep-down cares for his mother's safety and Mathew Modine, in a brief yet pivotal role as the law firm founding partner Bill Braddock, is impressive in every frame. He brings out the cunningness and ruthlessness in Braddock with subtle nuances and charismatic screen Toussaint gives depth to Catherine Lancestar as the publisher and Chloe's close friend and mentor. Her performance stands out despite limited screen time as she adds up to the pace and seriousness of the Reuben as Ethan's counsellor, Michelle Sanders, brings believability to her character. Gabriel Sloyer adds intensity to Jake Rodriguez, an attorney at Adam's law firm and Chloe's secret lover. Michael J Harney, Janel Moloney, Frederick Weller, John Finn, Paul Sparks and Frank Pando are equally impressive as the supporting than what meets the eye!The show is a testament to passionate storytelling as it makes a bold commentary on women's sufferings, agency, emotional trauma and social equity. Milch and Corrado leave no stones unturned in bringing up issues like the trolling of women in influential positions for their advocacy for labour and women's show also makes a subtle commentary on the resilience of women in the modern world by depicting a female police investigator as the most domineering character, ruthlessly chasing all the suspects. Chloe, Nicky and Catherine are equally determined characters who reveal their silent yet restrained ferocity and resilience through their the series focusses on human relations and perspectives, it also reflects on the abuse of power by the judicial and government show unveils the complications in the legal system as well as the corruption within the police administration. 'The Better Sister' makes you question how a rotten system, be it professional, social or personal, can ruin the lives of multiple story also highlights both toxic parenting and marriage, which end up adding miseries to everyone remotely involved in it. If 'Adolescence' was about a patriarchal minor, 'The Better Sister' unravels the mindset of a sensitive and compassionate teenager, scared to open up to his show is meant for those up for an emotionally enriching plot alongside courtroom drama and murder investigation. It is a unique series that demands audiences' attention for a well-crafted, engaging cinematic experience.'The Better Sister' is available for streaming on Prime Video.4 out of 5 stars to 'The Better Sister'
