    Opus

    ★★½

    It’s like when you have a group presentation and every other slide is completely different, but none of them is necessarily bad. Opus has so many good ideas but fails to go all in on one. Don’t get me wrong—there were parts of this film that I definitely enjoyed—but I left the theater wondering how many other ways this film could’ve ended. The original ideas it has fall off, and it commits to the unoriginal ones. Unbearably mid.

    Lady Bird

    ★★★½

    Went in knowing absolutely nothing about this movie. Ladybird has the charm to define the genre that is coming-of-age. It deals with complex raw family issues that otherwise go unnoticed in film. It’s overall grainy filmic look give it this sense of nostalgia for the early 2000’s, in a way that almost reeks of melancholy. Not necessarily my type of movie, but I can stop and appreciate a good film when I see one, and I can say confidently that Greta Gerwig directed THE coming-of-age film.

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★

    Went in because I had to see what all the hype was about. I will say the movie didn’t feel like it dragged until about the last 30 minutes. I really actually did enjoy the 15 minute intermission. I felt it separated the acts of the film well. Genuinely an interesting take showcasing the issues with antisemitism and what it can mean to be a foreigner in dark times. Ultimately shocking.
