John C. Reilly Discusses Acting and HBO Max’s “IT: Welcome to Derry”

In a recent exclusive interview with John C. Reilly, the acclaimed actor opened up about his latest projects and thoughts on contemporary issues, including the upcoming HBO Max series, “IT: Welcome to Derry.” Reilly’s conversation, featured in the latest edition of the publication Objektiv, delves into his work on the film “Heads or Tails?” and his new music group, Mr. Romantic. He also reflects on themes of civilization’s decline and an unwavering belief in humanity.

The interview provides insight into Reilly’s multifaceted career, touching on his portrayal of various characters and his artistic journey. In a first look at “IT: Welcome to Derry,” directed by Andy Muschietti, the focus shifts to a group of teenage misfits navigating their fears and joys. Reilly praised the fresh, youthful cast, stating that their performances deliver a compelling representation of the story’s emotional depth.

On a contrasting note, the article critiques the psychological thriller “Ballad of a Small Player,” directed by Edward Berger. Despite its high expectations, the film struggles to connect, even with a powerful performance from Colin Farrell. The review highlights that the film fails to resonate as effectively as anticipated.

In addition, the drama “Young Mother,” by the Dardenne brothers, did not impress the critics. The film explores the theme of young parents facing the harsh realities of raising children when they themselves are not ready for the responsibilities of parenthood.

The latest season of the Netflix series “The Witcher” also receives attention, with comparisons drawn between Liam Hemsworth and Lord Varys from “Game of Thrones.” Critics believe that the supporting characters may overshadow Hemsworth’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia in the upcoming episodes.

For those interested in exploring themes of love and identity, the article recommends two contrasting Netflix series: the romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This” and the political drama “The Diplomat.” Both series engage with similar questions about relationships and societal roles, making them intriguing options for viewers.

The publication also marks notable anniversaries, including the 30th anniversary of Alice in Chains’ self-titled album, which remains a significant influence in rock music. Additionally, it celebrates the 110th birthday of the French thriller “Les Vampires,” which inspired legendary directors such as Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, and David Fincher.
