Aftersun – Film Review
A deceptively simple, gentle and ultimately heart-wrenching story about father and daughter, brimming with hidden darkness and questions that memories cannot answer.
Past Lives – Film Review
Gorgeous, mature and delicately bittersweet romantic drama about childhood sweethearts reconnecting over the years.
Barbie – Film Review
I finally watched Barbie and found it a bit of a hot pink mess… but an entertaining, fun and refreshingly weird mess for sure.
Oppenheimer – Film Review
Christopher Nolan’s brilliant, expansive film about the life, work and disturbing legacy of a complicated, haunted man was one of the most intense cinema experiences I’ve had in a while. It may not be completely free of Nolan’s worst traits, but it also feels like the mature, contemplative film he’s been building towards throughout his entire career.
Godland – Film Review
The vast, harsh landscape of Iceland is beautiful and terrifying in this extraordinary film about a 19th-century Danish priest tasked with establishing a new church in a remote corner of the country.
Burning – Film Review
“Slow and quiet thriller” may sound like a strange way to describe this haunting, cryptic Korean movie, but it feels apt. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s short story, it’s built on ambiguity and unease, and is immensely rewarding in the end.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – Film Review
Though I found it a tad overlong and didn’t really care for its AI-centric plot, Dead Reckoning Part One is entertaining as hell and pretty much everything you’d want from a spy action blockbuster.
The Graduate – Film Review
This witty 1967 comedy-drama about disaffected youth feels both dated and timeless, and holds up well thanks to the great performances, clever cinematography, legendary Simon & Garfunkel tunes, and one of the most memorable movie endings I can think of.
