  Late Shift 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Not a lot of plot, but quite intense.
  We simply get taken along on a normal late shift in the hospital. But that is enough for one film.
  The German title „Heldin“ feels a bit pathetic, I like „Late shift“ better.

  Flow 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Despite only starring non talking animals this film is one of the most humanistic ones I have watched in a while.
  It‘s a great example of how narrative does not always have to be dialogue and plot driven.
  The different characters really drew me in and I really enjoyed the flow of it all.
  That this film won the Oscar really gives me hope for the animation world.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★ Watched 29 Feb 2024 1

  This whole Dune saga might well be Villeneuvs passion project, but he really missed a lot of emotional beats on this one.
  The characters complex developments feel jumpy. Especially Paul‘s mother, but also the lovestory and Pauls inner dilemma. It all has too little room and therefore feels unbelievable. 
  I had to laugh many times because, I just didn‘t believe the characters motivations. 
  It felt like an act.

  That being said. The film still has great world building and some incredible moments. But as a narrative it falls apart because the tention between the characters has no time to build.

  Memoir of a Snail 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Jun 2024

  It was wonderful to watch this film at the Annecy premiere in the big cinema. Standing ovations always make a movie experience even better.
  But even without that the film was very enjoyable. It resonated with me and was full of observations from life that felt real.
  Adam Eliotts films do feel repetitive and had I watched Marry and Max recently, I might not have enjoyed this as much. But since he always takes more than ten years to make a new movie, I can still look forward to the next movie he will make.
