I couldn’t possibly start a review of Twisters without expressing my love for the original 1996 film starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The film was cemented into my brain through dozens of viewings in my childhood, and it now sits comfortably at the top of any conversation that includes, “What’s your favorite film?”
Twister didn’t need to be remade, rebooted, or spun off, and yet here we are.
Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell in a film directed by the writer and director of Minari, Lee Isaac Chung. The screenplay by Mark L. Smith tells the story of a meteorologist lured back into the world of storm-chasing in Oklahoma’s tornado alley after being traumatized in her college days by an experiment with a tornado gone wrong.
This film is more romantic than a thriller and could even be filed under Powell’s Anyone But You romantic comedy aesthetic. The story is less concerned with how climate changes have impacted storm seasons and more about following a lead character who doesn’t have much at stake.
In my latest episode, now available on The Wandering Screen with Matt Koss's KZitem Channel, I discuss how grief is handled shallowly in Twisters, how the score negatively affects the action sequences, and why the film should’ve focused on Tyler’s team instead.
