60 18% Baby Reindeer (2024) - Rated 25 Apr 2024
"Good story, not a very good story telling. I found it hard to engage with, despite knowing it's based on true events. The problem is it's constant lecturing style. There is almost no subtlety with all the social messages the series tries to deliver. Nothing is left for the audience to figure out. I can't help but wonder how this would've turned out in HBO's hands. Nevertheless, it was entertaining to watch, but not something particularly memorable for me."
90 81% Drugstore Cowboy (1989) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
"Great film. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very realistic and intimate portrait. Love the 80's vibe of the movie. Matt Dillon kills it."
81 59% The Killing (1956) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
85 67% The Teachers' Lounge (2023) - Rated 22 Apr 2024
74 36% The Favourite (2018) - Rated 21 Mar 2024
"A fun watch, but nothing memorable. Easily the weakest Yorgos movie I've seen."
88 75% Rosetta (1999) - Rated 12 Mar 2024
"What's more tragic than not being able to commit suicide because you're running out of gas?"
55 15% Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 06 Mar 2024
"Not a good story telling, not a good built-up. Especially in the first half, the story was all over the place. Things were jumping from one to another without any background story. The second half was much better in that sense. I'm not a sci-fi/fantasy guy, but I still find LOTR or Star Wars impressive. With Dune, not so much. Good visuals, but this doesn't offer anything else to me. I also don't think Chalamet really fits into this role tbh. He just doesn’t have that charisma for this setup."
100 98% Come and See (1985) - Rated 04 Mar 2024
"I'm speechless. This film just takes the portrayal of war to a whole new level in terms of brutality. I seriously doubt I will ever forget the images and scenes I just watched. Very disturbing, true horror film without any jumpscares or monsters."
89 78% Poor Things (2023) - Rated 29 Feb 2024
"Great style once again from Lanthimos. It actually wasn't as weird as some of his other movies. A pretty straightforward story with a well-built-up narrative and good storytelling. I didn't really feel bored for a second, but I must say it felt a little too long at some point. However, I also wouldn't know what to cut from the story, as every part seems crucial for the premise. So, never mind that comment."
