Shin Godzilla 2016
I think whilst Godzilla Minus One succeeds on a technical level, Shin Godzilla excels with its structure, pacing, and a greater understanding of the themes it wants to explore.

That being said, excellent writing and I appreciated the film opting for being gentle and stylish as opposed to Kingsman-level pantomime.

A film that in someways goes beyond its high budget student film pitch but it also never fully escapes that starting position.
I think it does a good job of maintaining an ambiguity regarding developments in the story without needing to go full thriller at any point.
Consistently sweet and well made, although I can't help but feel Andrew Haigh, like a…
