You Were Never Really Here 2017
Massive bearded Joker brains nonces with hammer while descending into madness. Phoenix’s hulking physicality, worlds away from his more recent roles, is electrifying — all the more impressive for betraying such profound inner vulnerability. Greenwood’s score is thrilling as always; at times frantic and foreboding, at others dappled and heartfelt and hopeful.
Lynne Ramsay described this film as “experiential” and she would know. It’s a bloody walk through broken glass with a traumatised brute who’ll win your heart, and I can’t praise it enough. A cinematic gem.

Midsommar 2019
A fresh, vibrant and visceral tribute to The Wicker Man which, like the woven tapestry at the start of the film, grows more intricate and crafted the closer you look.
Midsommar has nothing very groundbreaking to say, but it doesn’t have to — this is a simple yet compelling human story told through the medium of folk horror at its most grandiose, and it gets the balance just right. You’ll feel everything Dani feels; it’s your shocking, perverse, triumphant journey as much as hers.
