Ash 2025
I give the film credit for occasionally crafting an interesting image, but mostly this is a grab-bag of motifs from infinitely better movies. You name the film, and Ash cribs from it--Alien, The Thing, The Matrix, Total Recall, Sunshine. There's nothing wrong with pulling from these great texts provided you create something of value, but Ash more just strings together a barely regurgitated set of reference points lacking any semblance of a unique point of view. It feels more like flipping through the pitch deck of a video game than watching someone's earnest attempt to make a compelling film.

I suppose the best thing that I can say is that I've seen worse.

I feel like it's possible to get something out of this premise, just not at all in the way the filmmakers attempted.

To be clear, I like this film, and I give Eggers credit for creating something that at all times seems wholly committed to its organizing principle. That being said, there are a few aspects of this…

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
This is unmistakably a Martin Scorsese film, and yet in some strikingly profound ways it is unlike anything he's ever done. Like all Scorsese films, it is at all times vital and engrossing, but what distinguishes it is the way Scorsese forces to you sit with a level of gruesome, sickening, emotionally agonizing discomfort that is truly unique.
