  Femme 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Femme (2023), where do I even start? Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay deliver absolutely impeccable performances, stealing the show with such raw, passionate intensity that nothing ever feels like acting. Their chemistry and commitment make every moment gripping, proving just how powerful great performances can be. The story itself is commendable, bold, compelling, and perfectly executed, keeping me on edge and desperate to see what happens next. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but for any aspiring actor or filmmaker, this is an absolute must-watch.

  RoboCop 1987

  ★★★★ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025

  “RoboCop” (1987) never fails to keep me hooked. Paul Verhoeven’s signature blend of ultra-violence, satirical edge, and over-the-top filmmaking always puts a smile on my face. From the iconic lines like “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me” to the chilling “You have ten seconds to comply,” every moment feels larger than life. No matter how many times I watch it, I never feel the urge to glance at my phone, this film demands and earns my full attention.

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Mickey 17 is a well-crafted film, but I wasn’t particularly drawn to its satire of a space-bound Trump/Musk figure, which leaned heavily into themes of egomania, detachment, and elitism. While the performances especially from Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo were strong, the film itself didn’t fully captivate me. I didn’t dislike it, but I also wasn’t blown away. It left me somewhere in between appreciative of its craftsmanship but not entirely immersed in its world.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025 1

  A Real Pain is a beautifully crafted, deeply affecting film that explores grief, identity, and family through the lens of a road trip across Poland. At its heart is the dynamic between Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, who deliver incredibly naturalistic and emotionally rich performances as long-lost cousins reconnecting through a journey into their shared heritage.

  Eisenberg’s direction ensures that A Real Pain never becomes overly sentimental or heavy-handed, instead allowing the weight of history and personal loss to unfold…
