  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Insanely important, essential viewing and very well made. I love that media is starting to portray these kinds of modern issues in a realistic manner that really feels so disturbing because it’s so real, not some bullshit Hollywood fake story. The way that the themes are portrayed are so raw and made me feel so uncomfortable and emotional because this is SO authentic, genuine and almost relatable (in some senses) because of how understandable the miniseries was. I’m actually quite shaken and scarred by this.

  A Clockwork Orange 1971

  ★★★½ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025

  Decided to rewatch cause I just read the book.  I like Kubrick’s vision here, his production design , soundtrack, costumes and cinematography are all fabulous and capture this terrible dystopian world real “horrorshow” (good). Don’t like how he used the American ending and should’ve done the UK/original(?) ending instead. I *liked* it but I’m just  kinda disappointed.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Clean, tight dialogue and a stellar original score. Fassbender and Blanchett are fabulous here and have great chemistry. A lovely, original spy-thriller. However in saying that don’t go in expecting action as it’s not that kind of spy film.

  My god. This film will go down in history. Words do it no justice, all I can say is that this was an absolute cinematic masterpiece.
