  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025 1

  I loved so much of the direction here. Berger and the writers did a fantastic job exploring the complexities of asking imperfect people to lead the servanthood of a perfect God. The lack of time spent showing any character’s relationship with God and the constant focus on political tension puts the viewers directly in the shoes of these busy and tired men. By the end, you can see how easy it is to be swept away into the intensity of organized…

  Yeah that was uhhhh… unfortunate. I tried explaining the plot to my parents and couldn’t really put it together. You really do have to see it to believe it, if you care to.

  The Creator 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Sep 2023

  I’ve never seen anything like that. Everyone in this theater is bawling right now. It’s not an AI commentary, it’s so much more. The Creator is a movie that grabs you by the heartstrings and forces you to use your head. And it’s the most important movie of the year.

  Edits after sitting on it for a few hours:
  I think really the only gripes I had with this film were script related- I thought it could have used a bit…
