    ★★★★

    Yes!!! The writing in this is so sharp, and the performances are so good and precise. Thought from the trailer that this might be cold and detached, and it kind of is in its aesthetic, but it's also frequently very warm and human.

    A fun, sexy spy caper, a well-crafted who-dunnit, and a genuinely engaging look at relationships and what makes them work (or not). Loved this, might love it even more next time. I love that Soderbergh makes two movies a year, and at least one of them is always a banger (I have not yet seen Presence)

    What if John Wick wasn't really a character at all, and what if the movie he was in was kind of boring, and what if the action was still pretty good but definitely worse

    My toxic trait is that I think Godzilla is kind of cute and a Very Good Boy, even in the movies where he's the main problem.

    I can acknowledge that the humans in this one have a really compelling story, but also there was a voice in my head that kept yelling 'leave godzilla alone he did nothing wrong,' and I kept having to be like 'shut up, yes he did'

    ★★★

    WAY too busy (can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm not sure Monica Bellucci needed to be in this movie, though her intro rules), but reasonably fun.

    Theroux, Defoe, and Keaton are all pretty funny, and yet Catherine O'Hara gets 90 percent of the movie's laughs just by virtue of being the funniest person alive
