"Well shot and acted, with an excellent use of perspective to constantly shift how we view the characters and events of the story. The pacing is almost that of a snail, even more so by the fact that there’s numerous repeating scenes. Ending is an interesting and ambiguous choice, assuming I’m not reaching with my interpretation. Definitely a film that I appreciated more than I enjoyed, but Hirokazu’s pretty consistent from what I’ve seen so far."

"“Lie with Me” is a beautiful adaptation of an autobiographical novel, that is incredibly touching and raw. The story and characters are great, the past and present timelines are woven together quite well, and it really hits emotionally. The only thing I could say is that I wished it were just slightly longer. But with how tightly paced it is, perhaps it’s for the best that it didn’t outstay its welcome. I might be overrating it a tad, but it’s refreshing and shattered my expectations."

"Points for Streep being great, and Broadbent being the most enjoyable part of the movie. I was really not a fan of the light-speed pacing that felt like quickly reading headlines, with very few scenes having any room to breathe. Most specifically, a scene involving a car fire that was brushed over almost instantly, shifting to a very tonally different scene before I had time to even process it."
70 70% The Green Knight (2021) - Rated 17 Mar 2024
"It’s long, slow, and not the most accessible movie. But it’s also unique and incredibly gorgeous. Props to A24 for being one of the most daring mainstream production companies out there."
75 83% The Holdovers (2023) - Rated 17 Mar 2024
"Solid movie, and potentially a Christmas classic. The 70’s feel is very well done, and the plot and tone reminiscent of films that we haven’t gotten in decades. Sessa is great in his first role and shows a lot of future promise, Giamatti is his usual excellent self, and Randolph is absolutely phenomenal. Pretty easy recommendation for just about everyone."
60 42% The Zone of Interest (2023) - Rated 13 Mar 2024
"One of the most unconventional and inaccessible films I’ve seen. There’s little to no focus on characters or story. Instead, the film is mostly about the setting and atmosphere. The way it’s shot is certainly an interesting experiment. It always keeps you at a distance, which would normally be a bad thing, but works here. Sound design is excellent, and worthy of the Oscar it received. The movie didn’t fully work for me, but I thought the final scene was one of the most jaw dropping I’ve seen."
70 70% Eismayer (2022) - Rated 07 Mar 2024
"A gay movie that has a unique plot AND unique perspective? It’s by no means perfect, but at the very least refreshing in a sea of rehashes. The leads are both very good, and I love that we finally have a gay character in one of these movies that’s somewhat accepted in social circles instead of being hated and bullied by every single character. Some of the plot developments do feel incredibly rushed, but I’ll still take this over most of its contemporaries."
