    Nomadland

    ★★★★

    "Nomadland" offers a sense of peace without a forced plot or obvious agenda. I'm unsure whether the movie, adapted from the book, is based on a true story or purely fictional, but what is clear is that it effectively portrays the journey of a nomad across the states.

    The story unfolds slowly, without any dramatic twists, which may seem boring to some, but it all becomes worthwhile when you witness the stunning scenery captured by Chloe Zhao, complemented by a…

    The Banshees of Inisherin

    ★★★★½

    This movie is like a rollercoaster of themes, crashing through layers of symbolism while draped in the breathtaking, yet eerily haunting, landscapes of the fictional island of Inisherin in 1920s Ireland.

    The ending is a gut-punch of tragedy and heartache that’ll leave you in tears and questioning your life choices. But here's the kicker: the heart of the story is all about minding your own business. And let’s be real, if there’s one thing I want to take away from this, it’s that oh-so-complicated Irish English. Fecking brilliant, isn't it?

    I honestly loved this. Normally, I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but I have to say this doesn’t apply when sci-fi is mixed with social satire, as Bong Joon-ho so brilliantly experiments with in this movie. A movie that tackles complex topics, which are always fun to discuss.

    For 137 minutes less, my eyes were spoiled by jaw-dropping cinematography. The humor? Perfect. The satire? Spot-on. The third act was a bit of a letdown, but honestly, it doesn’t even matter.…

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★

    This movie feels like a weak start for Sam Wilson's debut as Captain America. While I still enjoy his character in the MCU, the story, plot, and CGI fall short compared to previous Marvel projects. "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" was even better, despite likely having a lower budget.

    (Don’t get me wrong, I still like and will always enjoy Anthony Mackie’s character in the MCU, even after he becomes Captain America. I appreciate that he remains the same…
