  The Electric State 2025

  ★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Still can’t decide which is more insane about this film: the audacity to rip off every great sci-fi film of the last 50 years, the amount of cameos it crams in (Rob Gronkowski?), the way almost every line is a piece of exposition, or its pro-AI stance.

  Also can’t believe this is the same team behind the Avengers movies, but I’m even more shocked by the fact that so many people read this script and thought it was worth spending $300 million to make.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 28 Feb 2025

  “If there was only certainty and no doubt, there would be no mystery.”

  I have no doubts this is going to go down as one of the best films of the decade. It’s like 12 Angry Men, but with Cardinals.

  I can’t explain it, but somehow I know that this is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s fault.

  The Worst Person in the World 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2022 3

  The rare coming-of-age story that captures all of the bottled up ambition, anxiety, and uncertainty young adults frequently battle, but rarely talk about.

  Renate Reinsve is far from the worst though, delivering one of the most charmingly relatable (and awards-worthy) performances I’ve seen in a long time.

  My favorite thing about the film, however, is the title and its many possible meanings. Is our protagonist so bad for being so indecisive? Or could the people she falls for be “the worst” because of all the power she gives them over her?

  An onion of a film that I cannot wait to dissect for years to come.
