Muriel's Wedding (1994)

Camp and fun oddball chick-flick. Bits of Richard Curtis, but more Mike Leigh. Dark and sardonic and self-aware. My bias for '90s bubblegum colours and unabashed gauchery. Have loved this one for many years.

Cosmopolis (2012)

Weird grotesque energy pervades. |Gothic and ominous and detached, with a script that hints at realism but it's a feverish and uncanny simulacrum, and from somewhere entirely alien.

Her (2013)

For me, too aware of its own artfulness (the sets, the architecture "look at this"). And dialogue that just frustrated me; that I couldn't invest myself in.

The Duke of Burgundy (2015)

I loved Berberian Sound Studio, so my reaction to this was a blow. Just. Nothing. None of the rapture and enthral of BSS, except in maybe one scene. Mostly detached. Maybe I just got too excited for it.
