  Downfall 2004

  ★★½ Rewatched 03 Feb 2024

  Interesting how every portrayal of Adolf Hitler—even Bruno Ganz’s—completely misses the mark and presents this buffoonish caricature of a man.

  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  The obvious highlight here is the third episode’s raw showdown between Jamie and a psychologist in juvenile detention. Power shifts, emotions run high, and the acting is superb.
