  Challengers 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Feb 2025

  This film truly has it all. An enthralling plot, which although at times shallow, certainly keeps the viewer on edge at all points. I recall myself at various points throughout the film profoundly sweating, waiting for the next resolution (many of which never came). Mukdeeprom's sophisticated cinematographic style expressed deep feelings of euphoria and sadness, anger and peace at the same time, which speaks volumes about Guadagnino's directorial choices: I recall watching a scene towards the end, and witnessing something…

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2023

While cartel wars may not be common in the average person's life, violence has become normalised in society; through sports, art, even buying chocolate can be considered a form of violence due to the slave trade involved. This film shows someone…

  Killers of the Flower Moon 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Nov 2023 5

  Wow. Just wow. DiCaprio's acting in certain scenes was highly reminiscent of Marlon Brando in the godfather, which really helped to give the audience a view into the psychology of the killers. I can't wait to see more of Lily Gladstone, her acting really helped the viewer empathize with the characters plight.
