Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) - Jul 11, 2023
"The AI angle makes these non-stop situations at times more involving than most spy actioners, but the beats remain the same. A wacky, sun-lit Fiat sequence re-purposes the film as one big goof, only to drop into dead-serious MacGuffin chasin‘ thereafter. Cruise‘s line „Your life will always matter more to me than my own“ points to why this series repeats itself forever. When one girl he had intense foreplay with dies, another comes in, and he can run and drive off cliffs. It’s a life."

Beau Is Afraid (2023) - Jun 24, 2023
"An elaborate caricature of familial dysfunction. Aster again shows an aptitude for discomfort, high anxiety, and horror, proving that these panicked episodes are in line with his other features. He sees degradation as comedy and his films as a revue. There is hardly an inner reality to his characters - they are just pawns in a nightmarish game. But let's note that when the nightmare is all exterior, we get the incredibly bizarre first act, one of the great shorts of this year's cinema."
