    So clumsy, over-the-top and pseudo-edgy that feels like it must have been written by a teenager. Turns out it actually was.

    Few films wholeheartedly aim for these levels of grace, beauty and sadness - even fewer succeed

    Probably not intended like that, but if you show this film to a room full of far-right people, they will love it and feel affirmed in their beliefs.

  • Killers of the Flower Moon

    Killers of the Flower Moon

    ★★★★

    Monumental and essential, but ultimately Scorsese can't help but focus a little too much on the (internal struggles of the) killers, rather than on the lives and deaths of those who were killed.
