Night Moves 2013
Brutally underrated thriller. Disarming at first but gets increasingly disquieting as it progresses. Kelly Reichardt does so much visually despite the sparse nature of the narrative.

Love Under Construction 2025
Best of the Malayalam shows, which isn't saying much but still,....this was satisfying for what it heads out for. Some really solid character writing (Pappettan was worth all the hype),...except when it comes to the heroine. Not that she doesn't have agency, she's not really all that flawed and that makes her a rather boring character in a story where everyone else seems to have arcs with them grappling with their insecurities and failures.
But again, all is well that ends well. And this one sticks the landing in a way that I frankly didn't think it had the guts to.

North 24 Kaatham 2013
Rewatch Takeaways:
1. Finally realised how clever the placing of Kochi, one of the most polluted places in Kerala, as the clean freak protagonist's home town was.
2. The final 30 minute stretch is an all-timer.
3. The endgame of their journey was evident right from the start for all the three characters. The ignorance was the coping mechanism, which shatters once Nedumudi Venu literally breaks down in the auto journey back home.
4. That auto guy from the railway station was Khalid Rahman, right? Noticed he was the film's AD as well.
5. Oru solo trip adikkenda samayam adhikramichirikkunnu.Translated from by
