  12 Angry Men 1957

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Mar 2025

  Maybe doesn't hit as much on a rewatch, but I still think it's incredible.

  Really loved the use of the weather and heat.

  Could perhaps have done with cutting out some or the periphery stuff and focusing on the main storyline, particularly in terms of emotional development.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Mar 2025 2

  Better Man 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Jan 2025

  Absolutely incredible. I went into this with basically zero knowledge of Robbie Williams or his music, but I still had an amazing time.

  Parts of it dragged, and I could not tell any of the other Take That people apart, but nonetheless an excellent film.
