  Monster 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2024

  I don’t even know where to begin with Hirokazu Koreeda’s Monster (2023). This film completely floored me. What starts as a straightforward story; a mother worried about her son, slowly transforms into something so much deeper, richer, and more complex.

  The way the narrative unfolds through shifting perspectives is brilliant. Just when you think you understand what’s happening, the film flips everything on its head, making you rethink everything you’ve seen. It’s like peeling back layers of an onion, each…

  Her 2013

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Nov 2024

  Her is one of those movies that touches your heart in ways you don’t expect. Joaquin Phoenix is incredible as Theodore, and Scarlett Johansson’s voice as Samantha somehow feels more human than most performances you see on-screen. Their connection is so real and raw that you forget one of them isn’t even physically there.

  Robert Pattinson absolutely kills it in this role. He brings so much depth to Mickey that you can’t take your eyes off him. Whether he’s cracking a joke, questioning his existence, or…

  Whiplash 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2024

  First of all, I can’t believe I waited 10 years to finally watch this movie, I’m honestly so mad at myself for putting it off!

  Whiplash is one of those rare movies that grabs you from the first scene and doesn’t let go. It’s intense, emotional, and utterly unforgettable. The story follows Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), a young drummer striving to be one of the greats, and his brutal, no-nonsense instructor, Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons). Their dynamic is like a…
