  • Amélie

    Amélie

    ★★★

    Even if Amélie runs out of steam by the third act, pursuing a romance that's not particularly compelling aside from its eccentricity, it's impossible not to feel charmed and delighted by the film's style and pizzazz.

  • Somewhere

    Somewhere

    ★★★

    Somewhere feels a deeply personal, poignant project by Coppola, though it seems she struggled to find to words to illustrate the profoundly compelling themes and characters she put to screen.

  • Pearl

    Pearl

    ★★★½

    In a beautifully filmed prequel that sadly, hardly feels essential, Pearl gives a stage to an unsettlingly fantastic Mia Goth performance, which could've been utilized to better project the films themes, had the character's unraveling been better conceptualized.

  • Nope

    Nope

    ★★★★

    It could've benefited from more consistent pacing, building tension, but regardless, Nope is yet another incredibly well-conceived and ambitious film from Peele; awakens a fear that you didn't know you had.
