"This was passable at its worst and thrilling at its best. Honestly, I find Spaeny mesmerizing to watch. She brings more complexity to her performance than what the script provides."

"Craziest She Hulk origin story."

"Achieves the transcendent in the final 5 minutes. The camera captures the intersection of reality and soul. Not dissimilar from Ermanno Olmi’s or Milos Forman’s earliest works. The lead performances are some of the heaviest, most complex and alive that I’ve seen in recent memory. The power of the human face and the infinite possibility it suggests. Focusing the protagonist’s motivation on the central theme allows the camera lens to search for “why.” Compelling, beautiful."
73 42% The River (1951) - Rated 31 May 2024
"There’s some nice ideas floating around here and it all feels like it comes from a place of love. But it’s all so stilted and poorly performed, none of the actual story or character beats feel genuine. I appreciate Renoir’s intentions, but did not enjoy the experience overall."
86 78% Feng gui lai de ren (1983) - Rated 27 May 2024
"That youthful longing to transcend normalcy. To dote on what is just out of reach. The scene on the eleventh floor of the abandoned building will stick with me."
