Colin Farrell's "Sugar": A Unique Twist on Detective Drama

Colin Farrell stars in the Apple TV+ series "Sugar" as a private investigator obsessed with classic cinema, but the show's attempt at blending noir with another genre falls flat, and a twist in the plot fails to redeem it. The series struggles to balance its dueling mysteries, with the investigation into a missing person feeling generic and Farrell's character's personal life kept at arm's length. Despite the stylish cinematography and fine performances, "Sugar" ultimately disappoints, with the big twist unable to overcome unwelcome cliches and the series feeling like it should have been condensed into a pilot episode or movie.

"Love Lies Bleeding": Kristen Stewart's Brutal and Brilliant Queer Noir Thrills Sundance Crowd

Kristen Stewart stars in the intense thriller "Love Lies Bleeding" at Sundance, portraying a character involved in a passionate and dangerous relationship with a competitive bodybuilder.
