    Adolescence

    ★★★★½

    Powerful, gripping, and harrowing—Adolescence is prestige television at its finest. This is the standard all shows should strive for. While its one-take execution is often highlighted as a gimmick, it is masterfully done and serves a deeper purpose, which is guiding you through a journey. At its core, this show is about the characters.

    What sets Adolescence apart is the way it weaves themes, emotions, and philosophies into a raw, visceral experience that feels tangible and real. The child actors…

  • Snow White

    Snow White

    ★★

    Snow White attempts to add more substantive themes to its narrative to compensate for its anemic animated predecessor. However, it constantly struggles between honoring the legacy of the original and forging its own path. The result is a muddled mess that feels overly self-important.

    It feels like two films completely mushed together, it's odd and incoherent.

    Sharp Stick

    A very, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 confusing film that tries to meld themes of coming of age, womanhood, sexual repression and family, all with very little to say about these ideas. It's incoherent, incomprehensible, structurally unsound, a total mess.

    I think I'm being very charitable giving this film a one star... Taylour Paige is in the film, and she was great IN ZOLA, so.... One star for her?

    Mickey 17

    ★★★

    Mickey 17 is an effective satire and an introspective study of mortality, life's monotony, and nihilism. However, the narrative itself hinders any meaningful exploration of these themes, weighed down by overused capitalist and political tropes that feel outdated and inconsequential. Robert Pattinson fully embraces the absurdity, infusing it with a deep sense of dread and underlying sorrow.
