Look, if you go into this film knowing what to expect, you’re gonna have a really fun time. I was audibly laughing multiple times during the film. Now was this because the jokes were particularly funny? In most cases, no. I was fully laughing at the film, but through Jim Carey’s insane performance, a glorious tribute …
Fresh is truly refreshing. There’s something so tonally unique about it that the safety of the comedy makes the horror so much more terrifying. I’m not normally someone who can stomach horror films all that well, but this was surprisingly palatable. What’s happening is truly horrific, but the thrill of knowing there’s some hope for …
I must’ve watched a different film from everyone else, cause this was fine, not a best picture winner. On the surface this film could’ve been fantastic (and one I should’ve ate up), a coming-of-age film focusing on a story that rarely gets told in any media, showcasing the complex family dynamics that come from having …
What is it with amazing, animated films about generational trauma lately?

This film does pose an interesting question: whether or not a film should be self-contained, or if it should require you to come into it with prerequisite knowledge? Admittedly I don’t know …
I’m simply in awe of this film. In a time where we’re saturated with the onslaught of comic book films that seem to rehash the same ideas over and over, regurgitating the same stories in a different package, The Batman breathes new life into this genre. Matt Reeves doesn’t just create a new heroic story …
“I feel like a spectator in my own life.” This film best put, feels like a mirror to the audience. We’re not all Julie, but in a sense we very much are. Life’s complicated, it’s encompassed by good decisions and bad ones, decisions at the time where we have no idea of their outcomes, decisions that …
This would’ve made a fantastic play. The Outfit is a smart, witty crime thriller helmed by a delightful performance from Mark Rylance. Penned by Graham Moore, an acclaimed screenwriter and novelist whose previous work on The Imitation Game earned him an Oscar, alongside his writing partner Johnathan McClain, The Outfit feels like a crime novel …
