Nope 2022
This was strange and unexpected. Did not know what the movie would be about but the film’s style and flow is something I never saw much before. A mixture of comedy and suspense and horror movie. There’s an underlying anxiety through the whole story that strangely flows with jokes and comic relief, it gives us a weird plot to unravel and an unexpected story line for what at first glance seems to be a mixture of movie cliche genres.

Anora 2024
There is not much to say but much to say at the same time about this movie.

Anora has a strength and a vulnerability that dance with each other perfectly, a mixture of braveness and mediocrity.

The Celebration 1998
A terrifying look into how hard it is to reveal or confront abuse in a family.

Everything is there to show the oppression of a family gathering and how easy it is for the truth to be swayed and played with.

Civil War 2024
This movie felt simplistic in its setting and context. However, the execution was perfect, the plot is intense and the actors all do a remarkable job. Some of the scenes, especially one of them are violently true and honest. Irrespective of parallels with our current world, it is a sort of open window onto what radicalism and hatred can make people do. It shows how horrible our world can be when prejudice becomes a tool of persecution.
It also portrays the difficulty of witnessing and reporting these events, the strange mixture of excitement and artistry and trauma that can come from photographing war and conflict.Translated from by
