  Winter Sleep 2014

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Sep 2023

  Particularly special. I haven't seen any previous films by this director but I will definitely check them out in the future, I'm really impressed. The first 80 minutes of this film are pretty much perfect, and I love the dynamics communicated through each of the characters. The initial 'mystery' is shockingly engaging, and the scenes in which Hamdi and Īlyas communicate and attempt to apologise to Aydin are depressingly gross yet staggeringly well-acted. The amount of themes explored does become…

  Anora 2024

  ★★½ Watched 03 Feb 2025

  For those who know me, I am not a huge fan of Sean Baker. I tried watching Tangerine, making it thirty minutes in and then having a panic attack. I tried watching Florida Project, but found myself distracted by a number of other things on my mind. It's with a heavy heart that I have to admit, I thought this was just okay.

  My key issue with this film, really lies in Anora as a character. Like many other reviews…

  Poison 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Sep 2023

  Easily the best of the three shorts, makes the most creative use of the building and does some really great stuff with sound and lighting too. Harry's growing anger and dismay akin to slithering, the shaking of the building like an earthquake, the brightened view of Dr Ganderbai. Definitely the most enthralling just on concept alone but ultimately goes the extra mile to incorporate more deliciously smart detailing.
