  Opus 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Not the most complex film but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially considering the plethora of visual cues/effects. Moretti is who I imagine Harry styles could be in 30 years. Ayo’s face acting is legendary. It’s not necessarily a unique premise but that didn’t particularly bother me. Sometimes stories can be told over again and it’s fine….

  Sometimes it’s all a little too much on the heart 

  Coleman Domingo deserves this fucking Oscar. Divine Eye’s performance was so compelling. The tone and cinematography is so delicate and well done. A necessary reminder of our carceral system’s haunting impacts ……

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Dec 2024

  Post-modern surrealist slasher vibes. It wasn’t necessarily plot heavy but that didn’t seem to be the intention anyway. Acting was really good all around which is what ties this film together. Dennis Quaid’s character was specifically appalling. Excellent sensory manipulation. The gore is overwhelming but smartly contrasts the resounding emptiness of the Hollywood landscape and lifestyle. Makes you feel detached and lost and uneasy. Honestly it could have been so much worse…..
