Video Review – Magazine Dreams introduces ‘The Year of Jonathan Majors’

January 26, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Magazine Dreams starring Jonathan Majors…

One actor working today perfectly defines what it means to be a performer in this generation. Jonathan Majors offers controlled chaos; he knows how to distinguish between in-control and unhinged, making it look effortless. No movie has captured his raw talent like Magazine Dreams has, this year’s Sundance highlight.

Critic EJ Moreno dives into what he enjoys about the film but focuses the praise on Majors and his impressive work. In one of three planned films for the year (Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania being the other two), the actor gives one of the year’s most chilling performances. 

Magazine Dreams addresses many heavy topics, handling its controversial nature with ease. Find out why EJ calls this the first great movie of 2023. Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Killian Maddox lives with his ailing veteran grandfather, obsessively working out between court-mandated therapy appointments and part-time shifts at a grocery store where he harbors a crush on a friendly cashier. Though Killian’s struggles to read social cues and maintain control of his volatile temper amplify his sense of disconnection amid a hostile world, nothing deters him from his fiercely protected dream of bodybuilding superstardom, not even the doctors who warn that he’s causing permanent damage to his body with his quest.

Magazine Dreams is written and directed by Elijah Bynum. The film stars Jonathan Majors, Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O’Hearn, Harrison Page, and Harriet Sansom Harris.
