  • Flow

    Flow

    ★★★★★

    What makes Flow especially powerful is its emotional depth. It doesn't preach or provide a conclusion. Instead, it leaves viewers with a sense of humility, reminding us that we are part of something vast, unknowable, and profoundly beautiful.

    Flow is not merely a film but an experience-one that challenges you to let go, be present, and find wisdom in the unnoticed rhythms of life. Visually stunning and philosophically rich, it stays with you long after the credits roll, gently urging…

  • Brokeback Mountain

    Brokeback Mountain

    ★★★★★

    Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and the magnificent Michelle Williams deliver superb performances, but it is Heath Ledger’s film. He offers something entirely unexpected—an honest, moving, and powerful portrayal that is completely and utterly new.

    Eighteen years later, it hit me even harder than before; yet the pain and heartache, as well the love and loneliness I've experienced since, still resonate deeply at the core.

    Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts—a love that never grows old.

    ★★★★

    Revealing, powerful, and sobering. Don't go in expecting any happy resolutions, as we all know this painful, excruciating war marches on.

  • Balloonerism

    Balloonerism

    ★★★½

    The plot is hard to put into words, but it's not the main focus. Instead, the film's breathtaking visuals take center stage, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that's both exploratory and hallucinatory.

    The Teachers' Lounge

    ★★★★

    Nearly every character can be seen as unlikeable in a certain way at the end of the movie, even Carla. Students. Teachers. Parents. Everyone hits different. Everybody get's the chance to shine in a negative light. And different ideals and opinions clash. That's a strange achievement. And it's strangely a good one.

  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    ★★★★★

    Poor Things celebrates hedonism, but in a way that's both honest and humorous. Yorgos finds freewill to be as necessary as the air we breathe, and at times, that challenges so-called "polite society". 

    Consider Bella a pioneer and a rebel. Whatever impression you make out of this, you will be blown away by Bella, who is truly the heart and soul of this entire movie. Emma Stone captures a level of vulnerability and aching desire that we haven't seen from any actor in a long time.
