  The Naked City 1948

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Jun 2023

  A lot is made of this being shot in New York, and while that's certainly a plus, the fact that it's well-written and acted is what gives life to this film.

  Computer Chess 2013

  ★★★ Watched 14 Jun 2023

  A very interesting film. It doesn't quite gel, but it's such an interesting watch that this doesn't matter too much.

  They'll Love Me When I'm Dead 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 23 May 2023

  I went into this thinking it would be more about the discovery and piecing together The Other Side of the Wind, but it's so very much more. The story of that project is an interesting one, but it's the cutting together of footage from that and so many other projects of Welles that make this compelling. It's a gift to fans of the filmmaking process.

  To Catch a Killer 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 21 May 2023

  Surprisingly good, mostly because of Mendelsohn's performance. The plot is pretty generic, but it's shot well, and the visuals are interesting. Mendelsohn is great, and while Shailene Woodley doesn't quite match him, she's gives a strong performance, too.
