I Saw the TV Glow 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Oh my word. I don't often write reviews immediately after watching, but I have to spill my thoughts somehow. I feel almost stressed by how personal this is. I'm really shaken. I had high expectations too, I knew the sort of thing I was getting into. I heard about the trans subtext, I was desperate but nervous to watch, and it still hit me like a truck.
I don't know how it does it. I was wondering curiously how truly…

Anatomy of a Fall 2023
One of the best films I have seen in I don't know how long. Absolutely blew me away. This isn't just an enthralling courtroom drama, it dissects the courtroom, the trial and the very nature and purpose of them. That is one of the many things art is for at the end of the day, peeling back the layers to uncover something's true nature, and that is what Anatomy of a Fall does for the courtroom.

It certainly feels like Bong and a million other things. It has his heavily satirical scrutiny of society, which is needed as per. The colonisation, capitalism and Trump character are clear as day. Some sequences were exhilarating, edited with incredible momentum, balancing lots,…

I love Butters but seeing him get shouted at is the funniest shit.

Doctor Sleep 2019
"Our beliefs don't make us better people. Our actions make us better people."
Maybe the most underrated film I have ever seen.
This film had one of the biggest tasks I can think of in modern cinema, a time of cinematic universes and dozens of sequels. It had to follow up to the 1980 horror classic that has defined its genre for decades: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Having the task of adapting Stephen King's work as well as respecting Kubrick's…
