Nosferatu 2024
“We are here encountering the undead plague carrier... the Vampyr... Nosferatu!”
Previously conceived into the screen by Murnau and Herzog, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu marks the third reimagining of Henrik Galeen and F.W Murnau’s unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Eggers masterfully breathes new life into the tale with an ambience as richly haunting as the works of the legendary German filmmakers before him. As a result, the infamous Count Orlok rises once more with a nightmarish presence ready to haunt…

Civil War 2024
"I've never been so scared in my entire life. And I've never felt more alive."
To my utter shock, Garland’s vision unfolds into an experience far wilder than I ever dared to imagine. Civil War follows four determined journalists as they navigate through a war-torn United States in pursuit of securing a final interview with the President as well as capturing the iconic moment of his inevitable death. An exceptional exploration of the intersection between journalism & war, further elevated by…

Conclave 2024
“Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand-in-hand with doubt. If there was only certainty and no doubt, there would be no mystery. And therefore no need for faith. Let us pray that God will grant us a Pope who doubts. And let him grant us a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and who carries on.”
One of the undoubtedly strongest contenders this awards season. As the title suggests, Edward Berger’s Vatican Thriller delves into…

Saturday Night 2024
“Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!”
Set on the night of October 11, 1975, Saturday Night concerns a team of brilliant yet egotistical young minds as they frantically prepare for the live premiere of their upcoming late-night television show. As the title suggests, this is a dramatized retelling of the inception of America’s most beloved sketch comedy series, Saturday Night Live—particularly the mentally-exhausting and frenzy-filled final 90 minutes before the show’s first ever airing.
As I immersed myself in…

Past Lives 2023
"I liked you for who you are; and who you are is a person who leaves."
In Past Lives, emerging writer & director Celine Song showcases immediate fine craftsmanship of her work, wonderfully emphasizing the beauty of human connections while reflecting on the past, present, and the realm of ‘what ifs’. Bolstered by an exceptional technical execution & talented cast, Past Lives emerges as one of the most gentle, heart-wrenching & impactful cinematic achievements of the year.
It’s always rewarding to come across…

White Noise 2022
"Out of some persistent sense of large-scale ruin, we keep inventing hope."
What started as a surviving-the-apocalypse family trip, ended as a neo-noir revenge tale. What started excitingly, ended underwhelmingly.
White Noise is a prime example of a film overstuffing themselves with too much complex themes that it unintentionally destroyed itself. The first 30 minutes of White Noise was already entertaining, thrilling, and brilliant in itself. I was so on board with the family-centric story of the first half of…
