  ★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  My oh my, this was so empty.

  Bong Joon Ho disappoints again in this weird and awkward sci-fi action parody. Unnecessarily silly, non-consequential, bloodless in its topics. The premise is promising with political, ethical and economical questions but tackles nothing. It just makes fun of contemporary US politics.

  Actor's performances are great, especially Collette and Pattinson really thrive in their roles. The score is convincing and surprisingly timid. Special effects work well, the production design overall is on a high…

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2025

  An artistic tale about non-anthropomorphic animals trying to survive and learn how to work together. Without any dialogue we witness a compelling adventure with a touching message.

  The art style is simple yet effective, the cinematography exceptional as it depicts the world from the animals' angle. The powerful and emotional score emerges as the hidden star, keeping the audience captured.

  Transcending the silent masterpieces of Fumito Ueda, this ecological metaphor shows how relentless nature can be but also how fruitful and forgiving.

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Dumb kids who can't stay in quarantine for a day causing another zombie apocalypse. US military that can't handle an outbreak and mindlessly scorching London.

  The opening scene is magnificent, thrilling and haunting but then loses some of its grip. Score is a banger and some ideas work well. The action is bigger and the horror more frightening.

  Somehow cool sequel with an interesting ending.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2024

  Recent A24 movies (with the exception of "Civil War") suffer from the same patterns: great premise, promising first half followed by either stereotypical or nonsensical twists and turns. And to conceal these shortcomings, they implement metaphors, fancy camera shots or unusual design elements.

  The first half of "Heretic" is a thrilling and unsettling intimate play about religion and how it is challenged by history, analogies and philosophical questions. As the movie literally goes deeper, it loses much of its grip…
