  Arrival 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Sep 2020

  Now listen, this would’ve been 5 stars if it weren’t for two things:
  - Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams wasn’t believable as a relationship. No way would she settle for him
  - Very questionable line about the indigenous folk of Australia ??? Implying they were wiped out because they’re inferior? Historically inaccurate and colonialist. Gross.

  Thought the soundtrack was beautiful and Amy Adams gave an incredible performance. This definitely has made my list of favourite end scenes in movies.

  Knock Down the House 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Jul 2020 1

  Loved this documentary a lot, it’s strange to finish watching something about American politics without feeling stressed, but this actually managed to end on a hopeful note.
  My only issue is that the time felt divided very unequally between the women. I understand that AOC was the only one to win, but it felt that the screen was focused on her much more often than Amy Vilela, Cori Bush and Paula Jean Swearingen, and would’ve preferred it to be more equally balanced.

  Kung Fu Panda 2 2011

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Jul 2020

  The character development of Po’s dad realising his childhood dream of selling tofu is all I want.

  “Scars heal” is comedy gold.
