    Flow stands as a magical illustration of what animation can achieve. This film brilliantly demonstrates the power of artistic collaboration, bringing together various creative elements to craft a visual experience that speaks volumes without uttering a single word.

    An Authentic Personal Vision
    The authentic touch of the Zilbalodis beams through every frame of the movie. You can visually see this personal project come to life as the film progresses, with each scene feeling like a labor of love developed from…

    ★★★

    I’m always attracted to spy films or any film where the protagonist is technical and meticulous. Marisa Abela’s character really stands out- great performance. It’s quick, no BS and gets to the point which is always appreciated.

    However, when the big reveal hits, I lacked the shock and confusion you hope for in these style of films, just a bit empty at the end. Appeared a wee bit rushed and I wanted slightly more build up throughout the film that gave some clues about what Stokes was doing.

    Overall, entertaining watch but I wouldn’t deem it a “spy thriller”.

    ★★★★

    What immediately struck me was how different this feels from Bong Joon-ho's previous work. , "Mickey 17" showcases a different side of his artistic vision in a welcome way. Sharp social commentary but wrapped it in a more accessible, humor-driven package.

    The heart of this film is undoubtedly Robert Pattinson's dual performance. Playing both versions of Mickey, Pattinson showcases incredible breadth in every movement and emotion. It's visibly apparent how much Pattinson enjoyed tackling this challenging double role. There's a sense of freedom and playfulness in his performance that we rarely see in his more serious roles. 

    Overall, a sci-fi comedy I thoroughly enjoyed.

    I figured you’d love me too.

    Contrary to some belief, I thought the casting was very good. Saoirse Ronan has become my WCW. First literature I properly engrossed in so this film is special to me.
