    A Real Pain

    ★★★½

    Fair enough! 

    Went to see this after Kieran Culkin’s Oscar win…and I guess he CAN actually act. Felt myself genuinely embarrassed by the stuff he was doing, which I guess is a good thing. Pretty great performance from him and (I hate to say this) Jessie Eisenberg.

    Not a terribly important movie but a nice little look into real life situations and relationships.

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★★★

    Great movie.

    The Movie is interesting throughout, while also being light hearted and funny at points. Really beautiful cinematography and set designs, some incredibly lit scenes.

    Was always gonna be a decent movie with a cast that good.

    Some thought provoking messages about the role of woman in the church, which I think was the whole point

    Shite. Absolute Vanity Project.

    Movie comes across so pretentious throughout. Every scene so over-acted. Pure Oscar-bait.

    Feels like they sacrificed any sort of plot just to have them go to visually pleasing sites/locations. Some decent cinematography; but 4 hours of my life I’m not getting back.

    ★★★★½

    Great movie.

    Timmy’s got a strong chance at the Oscar, very believable Bob Dylan, and the authentic musical performances sets it apart from other movies within this genre. 

    Enjoyed the focus on the early 60s, highlighting important points and relationships during his career. There were of course time jumps, but I felt it still kept viewers engaged, like we hadn’t missed anything or at least the foreshadowing throughout helped bridge the jumps.

    Was nice to see a biopic that doesn’t…
