Review: ‘Black Doves’ is a holiday thriller of the heart

Here comes “Black Doves,” premiering Thursday on Netflix. It does what most do, in terms of action and suspense and complicated plotting, and does them very well, but what’s more interesting is that it’s also what might be called a “thriller of the heart.” To begin with, it’s the one with Ben Whishaw — he’s played Hamlet and Richard II …

LA Times

When you first meet Tomas, the impulsive, insatiable and utterly impossible filmmaker who propels nearly every scene of “Passages,” he’s darting around the set of his latest picture and berating his cast and crew. When Martin begins seeing a hot-shot writer, Tomas’ ensuing jealousy and regret — not to be confused with remorse — lead him to cruelly neglect Agathe, …

"Are you going to stay for a long time?" That Tomas is a massive narcissist doesn't take long to register in the very first scene- he is a progressive film director based in Paris who calls the shots, and his need for perfection in a not-so-essential sequence of his film is key to understand how much a tantrum he can …
