  Really hard to review properly since it wasn't projected properly...

  With that said, i loved how silly it is and RPats once again knocks it out the park.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Act one - brilliant, five stars, loved it.
  Act two - ooooh OK, bringing more pieces into play, I'm intrigued to see how this pans out
  That one scene- ... I wasn't expecting that, I don't really think the film has done enough to earn it (for lack of better phrasing)
  Act three - I'm not sure why these decisions were made or what they're wanting me to take from this
  Epilogue - unnecessary

  Still. It didn't feel like 4 hours in the cinema so bravo

  Paul & Paulette Take a Bath 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Nov 2024

  The eternal question: manic pixie dream girl, or literally just French?
  Also I have it on very good authority that prit-stick absolutely would not work - amateur.

  This film feels like a British tale, about France but told through an American lens (yes I know the writer / director is British/French but it just feels American to me).
  Some good story telling, some nice cinematography and direction. Ultimately it's a story that's been played out but there was a lot of good in front of and behind the camera.

  Killing Romance 2023

  ★★½ Watched 16 Nov 2023

  Madcap murder musical.

  Not without merit, but not for me.
