The Brutalist 2024
I didn’t connect with the heavy-handed portrayal of Toth as the tortured artist. A film like Tár presents a similarly complex character but one that is more confounding and difficult to pin down, which made it more engaging.

Nosferatu 2024
Lily-Rose Depp’s legendary performance stands out, portraying a woman torn between devotion to her husband and a feverish obsession with the Count. Nicholas Hoult and a strong supporting cast elevate the film, while Eggers effectively captures the characters' suffering, amplifying the dread. However, the horror is diluted by excessive dialogue, leaving a longing for more visceral scares. While beautiful and grotesque, the film lacks the terror it could’ve had with a tighter focus on suspense and horror.

The Social Network 2010
What a perfect film, from start to finish. It’s the kind of movie that makes you rethink your social media habits (while still secretly loving every second of it).

Schindler's List 1993
I once heard a fascinating story from a book called "Eyes Wide Open," written by Freddie Raphael about the making of Eyes Wide Shut. In it, Raphael talks about a conversation he had with Stanley Kubrick regarding Schindler's List and the Holocaust. Kubrick said: "The thing is, Schindler's List is about success, yet the Holocaust is about failure." And that’s so Kubrick, right? He had it completely right. Schindler's List focuses on saving those few people—a story with a happy ending—but the Holocaust itself was about the total failure of civilization.
Schindler’s List gets 5 stars, nevertheless, but I found it an interesting observation.Translated from by
