    I'm so confused...

    Am I now supposed to like Heineken or not?

  • The Apprentice

    The Apprentice

    ★★★½

    Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong absolutely deserve the praise. Seeing their power dynamic change as the story and characters evolve was damn impressive.

    I enjoyed how the tone of the film slowly descends from this budding mentorship into a downright horror - that scene in Mar-a-Lago was haunting.

    Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.

    Her beautifully captures the dizzying human contradiction of needing to be needed, with the self-preservation of loneliness. And doing this through the lens of an AI love interest is all the more original and unique.

    Joaquin Phoenix absolutely kills it.

    They say fear is the mind killer, but boy do I fear I will never have a cinema experience like that ever again
