Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

If we’re counting teen hero Miles Morales as a SpiderMan across both film and video games, that brings the tally of folks who’ve donned the Marvel hero’s mask in recent years to something like six performers since Sam Raimi’s inaugural 2001 live action Tobey Maguire movie. Given Marvel’s propensity for multiversal travel, too, perhaps no property better fits the concept of infinite realities (sorry, Dr. Strange). But whereas a titanic pop culture phenomenon like Rick & Morty takes the nihilistic route by positing that an infinite number of possibilities means nothing truly matters, filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Clone High) wager that even just one good soul can effect change when ennui sets in—that everything everywhere matters a whole lot.

In Sony/Marvel’s newest animated entry, SpiderMan: Across the Spider-Verse—the sequel to 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse—our hero Miles (Shameik Moore) is still thinking about Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) from his last outing (it’s complicated, but she’s from another dimension; they met). That adventure, however, wound up destabilizing time ’n’ space, leading to a sort of unpredictable system of portals that throw folks from any conceivable universe into other ones. 2013 video game BioShock Infinite would remind us that inter-dimensionality consists of both constants

Director Rob Savage tackles The Boogeyman, a new horror-lite flick based on the 1973 Stephen King short story of the same name. Despite the mature themes and age of its source material, Savage’s adaptation sometimes seems like it was ripped straight out of an episode of the übercampy 90s’ Goosebumps television series—and it’s not his first attempt at horror. 2020’s Host and 2021’s Dashcam were both new additions to the then-recent subgenre known as computer screen horror. This time, though, the plot has nothing to do with screens, which reveals Savage’s weaknesses when it comes to directing a more traditional form of horror. The Boogeyman suffers from beginner’s cliches that will likely even bore the more modern audience to which he previously catered.

The story revolves around a therapist (Chris Messina, Birds of Prey) and his two daughters (Sophie Thatcher and Vivien Lyra Blair) who are still grieving after their mother’s accidental death. While the premise promises to help forge a compelling and emotional story, it actually cheapens the horror at play and fails to properly contextualize the movie’s monster—arguably the oldest in the monster pantheon. Actually, maybe it’s the and variables—there is always a Spider-Man—though since Miles got his powers from a radioactive spider not of his own dimension, he’s thrown things out of wack pretty much everywhere. Understand? Good!

After tangling with a villain called Spot (Jason Schwartzman) Miles learns there’s a sort of Hall o’ Spider-People in the distant future of a neighboring dimension to his, and its leaders (Oscar Isaac and Issa Rae) spend their days making things right across the multi-verse. Miles, though, isn’t invited to the HQ for every conceivable Spider-Man/Woman/Enby/Child/ Horse, and learning why proves a total bummer for the lad; he’s just not like the others and they’re all trying to bring him down!

Across the Spider-Verse somehow ups the quality of presentation from its first most excellent iteration by merging so many types of animations, frame rates and design aesthetics. The stacked streets of a hybrid Mumbai/Manhattan in one universe are particularly gorgeous, and notable as well are the ’70s/clip art accoutrements belonging to Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya), a character that simultaneously lambasts and pays respect to the anarchic leanings of the genre’s monster that cheapens the emotional side of the story, but you can’t really tell what’s supposed to be more important—the scares or the parallels to trauma and grief. Audiences are expected to connect said trauma to the literal monster-inthe-closet, but Savage doesn’t make it worth our while; I stopped caring as soon as one character said, verbatim, “They call it…The Boogeyman.” Despite his sincere stab at representing the emotional fallout that occurs after experiencing the death of a loved one, Savage cannot deliver scares or thrills through his actors without making the viewer (and, frankly, the performers) feel awkward.

It’s not Messina’s or the kids’ fault, though, more like The Boogeyman is eye-rollingly lazy in its creature design, leading to a tall and borderline goofy creature with no unique physicality or features. This renders the monster instantly forgettable. As such, the only frights The Boogeyman knocks out of the audience are cheap shots; loud, drumkit-heavy jump scares more likely to piss you off than honestly surprise or alarm. Instead, it feels more like Savage steals his scares from you, just like his movie steals your money and time.

You could probably make fun of The Boogeyman with your friends, but if you were expecting an original take on an overdone monster concept, be prepared to leave the theater exhausted instead. (Noah Hale) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 98 min.

You Hurt My Feelings

7 + roots. Moore has really settled into the Miles role, too, phasing effortlessly between the confidence of superpowers and the challenges of teen-dom. Steinfeld similarly nails her Gwen Stacy performance, as do actors in brief roles including Andy Samberg, Yuri Lowenthal and Mahershala Ali.

Thus, while the creators of Across the Spider-Verse aim squarely at kids, the adults who take them to the show or continue to live out their love affairs with comics-turned-movies, kids or no, will find lots to love. Still, we can only hear that family matters or love conquers all so many times before the law of diminishing returns sets in. Luckily, this one is so beautiful and fast-paced it’s often on to the next big thing before we have time to nitpick. Spidey swings, villains get bad and explosions flare in the distance—that’s pretty much all folks are looking for from movies like this.

SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson With Moore, Steinfeld, Isaac, Rae Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 140 min.

LOUIS-DREYFUS; PAINFULLY RELATABLE YET FUNNY - DISJOINTED AT TIMES

A stirring cast of relatable characters—for middle aged folks, anyway—rallies around veteran comic talent Julia Louis-Dreyfus in You Hurt My Feelings, director/writer Nicole Holofcener’s ode to aging, identity and the little white lies we tell our loved ones. Feelings is a smart yet simple tale told well, an homage to writing, really, both in how it portrays Louis-Dreyfus’ sometimes acerbic author, Beth, and in how the film itself bets big and mostly wins on its dialogue and actors.

We join our hero during the creation of her second book, her first take on fiction. Beth’s debut, a memoir built around her verbally abusive father, did OK, we’re repeatedly told. The new one, however, has fallen victim to overthought and way too many drafts. She works as a writing teacher at New York City’s New School, and between her agent’s tepid response to her new work and a classroom full of students who never bothered to read her first, Beth is fragile enough as it is, but then overhears her husband Don, a therapist who fears he’s losing his edge (Game of Thrones’ Tobias Menzies), say he just plain doesn’t like it.

Calamity ensues as Beth reels while wondering how her husband can possibly respect her if he doesn’t respect her work. Meanwhile, her sister

(the ever-solid Michaela Watkins) navigates similar waters at home as her would-be actor husband grapples with his own demons surrounding aging, career and so forth. Without ever saying it out loud, Holofcener gracefully points out that terrifying and humiliating moment that eventually comes for folks who live long enough—the world went and got all screwy when we weren’t looking, now it might leave us behind.

Holofcener (Enough Said) excels at dialogue and thematics in Feelings and crafts the sort of small yet painfully pressing interpersonal exchanges that define ourselves and our relationships. Does lying about how much we enjoy our loved ones’ work or creative endeavors express disrespect, or is it more about supporting them when they need it most? We all place little pressures on those around us every single day, but how do those things come out in the long run? Louis-Dreyfus masterfully glides through her character’s foibles and even her pettier moments, but small triumphs of motherhood, spousal life and self-reflection propel her to a greater level of understanding for the people around her even as she hides a competitor’s book beneath her own at the neighborhood book shop, even as she wrestles existentially with her 20-something son (Owen Teague). This one might not light up the box office with millions of adoring fans, but if You Hurt My Feelings is some sort of new beginning for the NYC-based warts-and-all rom-com, it’s a good start.

Rob Brezsny Week of June 7th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves,” said psychologist Carl Jung. What was he implying? That we may sometimes engage in the same behavior that bothers us about others? And we should examine whether we are similarly annoying? That’s one possible explanation, and I encourage you to meditate on it. Here’s a second theory: When people irritate us, it may signify that we are at risk of being hurt or violated by them—and we should take measures to protect ourselves. Maybe there are other theories you could come up with, as well, Aries. Now here’s your assignment: Identify two people who irritate you. What lessons or blessings could you garner from your relationships with them?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1886, a wealthy woman named Sarah Winchester moved into a two-story, eightroom farmhouse in San Jose, California. She was an amateur architect. During the next 20 years, she oversaw continuous reconstruction of her property, adding new elements and revising existing structures. At one point, the house had 500 rooms. Her workers built and then tore down a seven-story tower on 16 occasions. When she died at age 83, her beloved domicile had 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, and six kitchens. While Sarah Winchester was extreme in her devotion to endless transformation, I do recommend a more measured version of her strategy for you—especially in the coming months. Continual creative growth and rearrangement will be healthy and fun!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “All the things I wanted to do and didn’t do took so long. It was years of not doing.” So writes Gemini poet Lee Upton in her book Undid in the Land of Undone. Most of us could make a similar statement. But I have good news for you, Gemini. I suspect that during the rest of 2023, you will find the willpower and the means to finally accomplish intentions that have been long postponed or unfeasible. I’m excited for you! To prepare the way, decide which two undone things you would most love to dive into and complete.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Denis Johnson had a rough life in his twenties. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Years later, he wrote a poem expressing gratitude to the people who didn’t abandon him. “You saw me when I was invisible,” he wrote, “you spoke to me when I was deaf, you thanked me when I was a secret.” Now would be an excellent time for you to deliver similar appreciation to those who have steadfastly beheld and supported your beauty when you were going through hard times.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t make a wish upon a star. Instead, make a wish upon a scar. By that I mean, visualize in vivid detail how you might summon dormant reserves of ingenuity to heal one of your wounds. Come up with a brilliant plan to at least partially heal the wound. And then use that same creative energy to launch a new dream or relaunch a stalled old dream. In other words, Leo, figure out how to turn a liability into an asset. Capitalize on a loss to engender a gain. Convert sadness into power and disappointment into joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At age nine, I was distraught when my parents told me we were moving away from the small town in Michigan where I had grown up. I felt devastated to lose the wonderful friends I had made and leave the land I loved. But in retrospect, I am glad I got uprooted. It was the beginning of a new destiny that taught me how to thrive on change. It was my introduction to the pleasures of knowing a wide variety of people from many different backgrounds. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I think the next 12 months will be full of comparable opportunities for you. You don’t have to relocate to take advantage, of course. There are numerous ways to expand and diversify your world. Your homework right now is to identify three.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us continuously absorb information that is of little or questionable value. We are awash in an endless tsunami of trivia and babble. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to remove yourself from this blather as much as possible during the next three weeks. Focus on exposing yourself to fine thinkers, deep feelers, and exquisite art and music. Nurture yourself with the wit and wisdom of compassionate geniuses and brilliant servants of the greater good. Treat yourself to a break from the blah-blah-blah and immerse yourself in the smartest joie de vivre you can find.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Over 25 countries have created coats of arms that feature an eagle. Why is that? Maybe it’s because the Roman Empire, the foundation of so much culture in the Western world, regarded the eagle as the ruler of the skies. It’s a symbol of courage, strength, and alertness. When associated with people, it also denotes high spirits, ingenuity, and sharp wits. In astrology, the eagle is the emblem of the ripe Scorpio: someone who bravely transmutes suffering and strives to develop a sublimely soulful perspective. With these thoughts in mind, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you Scorpios to draw extra intense influence from your eagle-like aspects in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I paint, my goal is to show what I found, not what I was looking for.” So said artist Pablo Picasso. I recommend you adopt some version of that as your motto in the coming weeks. Yours could be, “When I make love, my goal is to rejoice in what I find, not what I am looking for.” Or perhaps, “When I do the work I care about, my goal is to celebrate what I find, not what I am looking for.” Or maybe, “When I decide to transform myself, my goal is to be alert for what I find, not what I am looking for.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Vincent van Gogh painted Wheatfield with a Reaper, showing a man harvesting lush yellow grain under a glowing sun. Van Gogh said the figure was “fighting like the devil in the midst of the heat to get to the end of his task.” And yet, this was also true: “The sun was flooding everything with a light of pure gold.” I see your life in the coming weeks as resonating with this scene, Capricorn. Though you may grapple with challenging tasks, you will be surrounded by beauty and vitality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that your homing signals will be extra strong and clear during the next 12 months. Everywhere you go, in everything you do, you will receive clues about where you truly belong and how to fully inhabit the situations where you truly belong. From all directions, life will offer you revelations about how to love yourself for who you are and be at peace with your destiny. Start tuning in immediately, dear Aquarius. The hints are already trickling in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The renowned Mexican painter Diego Rivera (1886–1957) told this story about himself: When he was born, he was so frail and ill that the midwife gave up on him, casting him into a bucket of dung. Rivera’s grandmother would not accept the situation so easily, however. She caught and killed some pigeons and wrapped her newborn grandson in the birds’ guts. The seemingly crazy fix worked. Rivera survived and lived for many decades, creating an epic body of artistic work. I bring this wild tale to your attention, Pisces, with the hope that it will inspire you to keep going and be persistent in the face of a problematic beginning or challenging birth pang. Don’t give up!
