  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Dec 2024 13

  "What better description of a cube than that of its construction?"
  me 🤝🏼 movies about architecture 

  How does one create art? More precisely, if constructing is your preferred art form, what goes into creating it?

  “The Brutalist” can be frightening, moving, brilliant, or even weirdly enough calming at times. The challenge of filmmaking is portrayed via architecture. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? 

  However, there’s something that I absolutely did not enjoy about this movie; it was overwhelming at times; unable to…

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 05 Dec 2024 14

  "She's going to rave all night."
  "Then rave she must."💅🏼

  NOSFERATU is wonderful in every way. A mystical nightmare about fate and passion. It infiltrates your body and messes with your senses, a spiral into insanity. With countless nightmare scenes and visions, Robert Eggers once again challenges you to consider the nature of reality. Every performance is captivating.

  "You're not like the others." - Lisa
  Being different isn’t as bad as people may think it is :)

  It is one of those films that resonates with the audience because of its genuine and sentimental portrayal…

  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Jan 2025 2

  “If everybody looks the other way, then everybody's in on it. If I look the other way, I'm as implicated as the rest.”
  There are times when a film serves as a reminder of how new cinema is as an art form. Fascinating 

  RaMell Ross's debut, Nickel Boys, is primarily told through point-of-view shots and centres on two teenagers, Elwood and Turned. It stands apart by emphasising trauma and memory rather than merely physical distress.

  The camera is the true…

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Oct 2024 2

  “Remember, you are ONE”

  fantastic and gory. I'm still in complete awe at the last twenty minutes. The production and sound design of this movie are amazing, and I'm completely smitten with every ensemble and item of apparel. Mary Qualley and Demi Moore I can't express how amazing these performances are enough.
  I also adore the reference to the Shining so much.
