    "If You Can't Fix What's Broken, You'll Go Insane"

    Endlessly entertaining... this film gripped me for its entirety, allowing me to marinate in the themes of redemption and survival. I enjoyed how the film was surprisingly intelligent given its visceral shell. Theron was brilliant, and I found the score to be incredibly addictive. This was my first taste of Miller's filmography, and I hope Furiosa provides a similar sense of exhilaration.

    “You Underestimate The Power Of Faith”

    A special theatre I won't forget for the rest of my life... The impeccable pacing and editing, coupled with Tim's performance akin to a "tour de France," epitomized the ultimate display of cinematic finesse. The intricate web of politics and power dynamics was utterly intriguing, and Hans Zimmer was simply incredible throughout the film. Likely Denis' magnum opus.

    “I believe we did”

    Sat speechless for minutes after the movie... contemplating and pondering the decisions Nolan made. Still can't completely grasp the brilliant ideas and moral dilemmas put forth throughout the 3hr runtime. Really makes you ruminate about the incredibly heavy decisions mankind has HAD to make...

    “What’s in the box?!!”

    Incredibly disturbing film that grips you for its entirety. Undeniably one of the pinnacle films of the neo-noir. Fincher cements himself alongside the greats with this brilliant post-modern film.
