Drive 2011
what did people like about this movie? no one in it does anything for any reason. the opening scene is great; one of my favorite establishing sequences in recent memory. and then we just stop establishing the character. and all the other characters.
if your movie is going to be 85% meaningful glances and silence there needs to be a lot more meaning in the glances

How to Blow Up a Pipeline 2022
sparked an argument with my wife and bf about whether this would work and if so whether it's a moral obligation, which i think the film's writers would be happy to hear.
tense, interesting, great use of color and light. some on-screen arguments where you can really feel the 22-year-old nature of everyone involved.

Mars Express 2023
Obviously the context in which you watch a film is important - i watched this one in an old theater in the U district, with a dozen movie weirdos. It is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. I have seen so many films about robots that boil down to either
1) the robots were people the whole time
or
2) the robots decided to kill all humans1 is obvious from minute five and 2 is better done with a more interesting horror monster.
This movie has a genuinely fascinating angle on autonomy and selfhood.
