The 2017 sci-fi horror film was directed by Niels Arden Oplev and written by Ben Ripley. It is a stand-alone remake of the 1990 film of the same name.


3) Into The Forest

Cast: Elliot Page, Evan Rachel Wood, Max Minghella, Callum Keith Rennie, Wendy Crewson, Lorne Cardinal, Michael Eklund, Crystal Pite, Katherine Cowie, Bethany Brown, Simon Longmore.

This movie is an interesting take on the post-apocalypse continuation of our species. Instead of following the trope of men vying for supremacy in the power vacuum, the film revolves around two sisters who are coming to terms with the new world. The technologies and structures that once kept them safe and comfortable have now lost their relevance, so they have to learn what they really need and want from life.


4) Tallulah

Cast: Elliot Page, Allison Janey, Tammy Blanchard, Evan Jonigkeit, Felix Solix, David Zayas, Fredric Lehne, Uzo Aduba, Evangeline Ellis, Lilliana Elis, John Benjamin Hickey, Zachary Quinto, Maddie Corman, Eden Marryshow.

Desperate to reunite with her boyfriend, homeless teenager Tallulah drives to New York to his mother's home. However, she is left to fend for herself when his mother Margo says that she has not kept track of her son's whereabouts for the past two years.

Talullah is mistaken for housekeeping staff by a drunken and intoxicated Carolyn who has a toddler. While leaving, Tallulah impulsively takes the child with her as she thinks that the mother is irresponsible and unfit to take care of the child. She then appears on Margo's doorstep once again and lies about the child being the latter's grandson. Reluctantly, Margo agrees to let them stay the night.

The film is insightful, touching, and even humorous at times. An artistic masterpiece, it gave Elliot Page a chance to exercise his brilliance as an actor.


5) Inception

Cast: Elliot Page, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph - Gordon Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Bereneger.

The 2010 sci-fi action film, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, was a cinematic masterpiece that experienced both critical and commerical success. Elliot was applauded for his performance as Ariadne, a student of architecture. Inception is perhaps one of the most challenging movies of the 21st century, but that is also where its beauty lies.

The movie might be confusing at first as one has to keep up with the expositions about the dream world and its relationship with the laws of physics and natural phenomena like time and gravity, but the patience is rewarded as the storyline progresses and everything falls into place.
