Challengers 2024
The story gets lost amidst the terrible pacing. I hated the constant shifts between timelines, and the jarring synth score that would play at the oddest times, then abruptly leave. There's also an overwhelming focus on the strange connection between tennis and sex… which… comes off as completely pretentious. The ending, which was the best part of the film, lasted for about five minutes before a sudden and inconclusive finish
If u wanna see a real tennis movie watch Wimbledon with Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany 😗

Glass Onion 2022
Personally, I didn’t love the plot of the predecessor, but at least that one had style and intimacy. Glass Onion is filled with so many cameos, name drops, and Google ads that it distracts from the suspense of real revelations. Glitzy, star-studded mystery movies aren’t fun when they’re hyper-self-aware. Didn’t like the structure here either. There’s some exposition in the beginning, before immediately launching into 40 minutes of flashbacks

Knives Out 2019
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes of world building. The cinematography and quasi Ralph Lauren aesthetic were executed stunningly. But beyond that, it was a disappointment for me. By revealing who the (assumed) killer was so early, it replaced the whodunit narrative with following the suspect try to get away with murder instead. I would’ve been more interested in the story from Benoit’s perspective, rather than Marta’s. Overall, I wanted more mystery. Shrug

Spring Breakers 2012
This was the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. My whole life. And I had the most ~amazing~ time. I was laughing up a storm in that theater. One minute Selena Gomez is chatting with her grandma about how St. Petersburg is her holy land and the next she’s sobbing bc life actually has repercussions. Half of the movie is montages of dancing or crying over dubstep music
