  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  This was fucking class. Caught me completely off guard how good it actually was. From the trailers I reckoned it was going to be just another run of the mill espionage drama/thriller, but it had a lot more to it. The script was extremely cut throat and heavy on the dry humour and satire, giving the film a feeling of self awareness which helped to elevate it and avoided it from dwindling into rom-commish vibes.

  A biopic made by a man about a woman who was famously destroyed by men- great start! Dominik uses the fiction element of the film to vent his own grievances and horrific attitude towards women. It’s ultimately distasteful as fuck and he should hang his head in shame. No amount of hyper-stylisation can hide how vulgar this film is and I struggle to see how it even made it this far in today’s (apparently) more progressive climate.
