    Blade Runner 2049

    ★★★★★

    Absolutely gorgeous film, both visually, but especially sonically. The music and sound design create such an overwhelming atmosphere and suck you in. The shots range from bombastic to gritty and they all work perfectly for what they’re trying to say. Very strong acting.

    Tight, tense, and perfectly executed. JK Simmons is fantastic as usual, and Miles Teller also delivers a strong performance. As expected for a film about music, the sound is great, and the drums combined with the visuals create a really intense atmosphere. Not a minute wasted.

    Everything Everywhere All at Once

    ★★★★½

    Really fun, and totally not what I expected. The first half is stronger than the second, and contains most of the comedy and absurdity that I enjoyed. The second half was still great, but the pacing felt off - the film could have been cut by about 20 mins. Nevertheless, an absolute gem of a film, and I haven’t had this much fun watching a film for ages!
