Magazine Dreams “Review”

Wasn’t on my radar, however my friend asked if I intended to watch this feature. I’m so glad I did. Just like another feature that released this week. We’re discussing the movie. Although real life events have had a huge impact on this title. I’ll be discussing the feature in this “Review”. Love you my friend ❤ Congratulations and so happy for you. With that ray of light, “may your heart be your guiding key”.

Jonathan Majors is back and with a 2 year delay on this title from original release and may sadly not be up for Oscars (Despite totally worthy) lets dive into his character Killian Maddox trying to make it in the world of professional bodybuilding while taking care of his ailing grandfather.

From the top, this feature is very dark. In several avenues. Remember the light, find a source and continue forth. The first hour alone was so jam packed with events I thought the movie was abouts to wrap but still have 1 hour remaining. My freaking mind was blown with this. A solid good movie throughout, I was raising my score little be little each way not wanting to watch this title again for the heaviness. But then the light hit. I saw it and grasped on. Entering the tier of greatness.

Killian idolizes the worlds best and heavily featured in body builder magazines “Brad Vanderhorn” played by Mike O’Hearn. This was his only point of communication to others outside of his grandfather and appointed therapist. I can discuss how dark this gets but I’ve painted that picture enough to hold back here. Experience this story and ride yourselves. Jonathan Majors does an incredible job acting through so much emotion. Trying to hold things together while portraying the disconnect within his mind to social aspects.

I wrote a line here that hit me hard, struggling between his career and isolated social life. His career can be impacted by surgery under knife. Even if this surgery can be life saving. His life’s over without the career and over without the surgery so what does one do? On the other side, people are scared of who you are. Struggling with social queues, having thoughts and discussions within your head that let’s out emotion and feelings to those unprepared. This is a very sad and depressing movie that gets you feeling for this guy.

Love to write more but wanting to avoid spoilers so I’ll keep it here. A great movie that without giving anything away hopefully. Ends with such an impactful saying / statement to all. It’s a heavy one but a story worth visiting. Open your heart and mind. Find your light. Then continue forth for the next 2 hours. A great movie 8/10. I may revisit but sometime down the road.

Others on social platforms are rating this from a 6.8 on IMBD to 91% on Fandango and 95% with google users. I stated it at the top and I’ll say it once more. I’m glad I checked this title out.
